A Rock Island man has been arrested in Warren County and charged with criminal homicide in the death of a former DeKalb County resident
49 year old Timmie Lee Bain is believed to be responsible for the murder two years ago of 45 year old Daniel Mayo even though Mayo’s body has not been found.
Mayo had been a long time resident of DeKalb County before relocating to Warren County. According to Warren County Sheriff Jackie Matheny, Mayo had worked and lived with Bain prior to his disappearance.
Authorities have reportedly focused their search for Mayo’s remains on a hog farm where the men worked on C. Rowland Road, near the Mud Creek Community at Rock Island. Cadaver dogs have been brought in to assist in the search.
The arrest of Bain comes after an lengthy investigation which has spanned several months. While authorities had received an earlier tip concerning the homicide they were unable to establish that a murder had occurred until a new development surfaced in the case.
