On Friday, Aug. 1, Drummond's empty car was found over an hour's drive away from where the four deceased individuals were located, the Dyer County Sheriff's Office said on Facebook.
The four victims were the mother, father, grandmother and uncle of the abandoned infant. Fox News reported that the four were related to Drummond's current girlfriend.
The DCSO previously said officers were alerted to an abandoned infant.
"A dark-colored minivan or a white mid-size SUV was reported to have dropped off an infant in a car seat at a random individual's front yard," police said. "Thankfully a witness saw the car seat with the child and called 911."

People Can't Believe The Trump Administration's WILD Attempt To Be Catchy With The Name Of Another Immigration Detention Center
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem drew swift backlash on Tuesday after unveiling plans for a new migrant detention center in Indiana — which she dubbed the 'Speedway Slammer.' In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Noem announced a partnership with Indiana Gov. Mike Braun (R) to expand detention capacity by 1,000 beds at Miami Correctional Facility near Bunker Hill. It will 'help remove the worst of the worst out of our country,' she wrote. Related: 'COMING SOON to Indiana: The Speedway Slammer,' Noem boasted. 'If you are in America illegally, you could find yourself in Indiana's Speedway Slammer. Avoid arrest and self deport now using the @CBP Home App,' she added. Critics condemned the announcement as disgusting, cruel, and dehumanizing, calling out the Trump administration's broader approach to immigration enforcement. They also slammed the center's 'stupid' name. Related: Many compared the branding of the facility to Florida's migrant detention center that Republicans have dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz' because it's surrounded by snakes and alligators.

Listen up WNBA fans, players are fed up with sex toy bit, so can you please keep it in your pants?
The WNBA has been busy making headlines for rising in popularity, having rookie players that are breaking records, and being extremely queer. But lately, the league has been in the news because colorful dildos have been flying onto the court during games. At first, it seemed comical, playful even, and maybe a good luck charm for the Golden State Valkyries, who won both games where a dildo ended up on the court. But now, women's sports fans, it's time to talk because you've taken it too far. It's not funny anymore. The first lime green dildo was thrown onto the court of a contentious game between the Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream on July 29 in Georgia. Almost the entirety of the internet thought the incident was hilarious and quickly got busy making memes. But then it just kept happening. The bizarre trend continued a few days later at an August 1 game between the Valkyries and the Chicago Sky. The third time this happened, Indian Fever star Sophie Cunningham ended up getting hit in the head with the sex toy after telling people on X (formerly Twitter) to 'stop throwing dildos on the court… you're going to hurt one of us.' Then, someone tried to throw another green dildo at a New York Liberty game, but instead of it landing on the court, it nearly hit a child, according to a video posted on social media. Once a sex toy almost nails a kid in the head, it's time to look at what we're doing. At first, we wondered if this wasn't a funny, tongue-in-cheek way to call out just how sapphic the game has gotten, but now that a man has been arrested and said that it was 'supposed to be a joke' and 'go viral,' the intentions seem more problematic. Being taken seriously as a female athlete is already a tough assignment, and having sex toys flying left and right during games isn't helping, especially at a time when WNBA players are fighting for better compensation and revenue sharing. Bottom line: women's sports are not a joke. And while we'd like to think this started as a harmless prank that gave us all a chuckle, it's starting to smack of sexism. In the beginning even some of the players seemed to laugh along. Fever guard Sydney Colson even went on her podcast dressed a green dildo, but then things kept escalating and other players started pointing out how 'disrespectful' and 'dangerous' it is. 'It's super disrespectful,' Sky center Elizabeth Williams said after he game against the Valkyries, per Front Office Sports. 'I don't really get the point of it. It's really immature. Whoever's doing it just needs to grow up.' Sparks coach Lynne Roberts also said, 'It's ridiculous, it's dumb, it's stupid. It's also dangerous. Player safety is number one, respecting the game, all those things. I think it's really stupid.' And GOAT Diana Taurasi had the perfect response for the jokesters, 'I would have picked that thing up and thrown it right back at them.' Maybe we should all just listen to the players themselves. So whoever is keeping this 'joke' going, whether they are straight or gay, it's time to call it quits. The bit is getting tired anyway, right?
