**Oklahoma Officials Confirm Identity of Missing Kansas Women Found Deceased in Texas County**
The Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner’s Office made a somber announcement on Tuesday, confirming the identities of the two deceased individuals discovered in Texas County, Oklahoma. The individuals were identified as missing Kansas women Veronica Butler, aged 27, and Jilian Kelley, aged 39.
The news has sent shockwaves through the community, with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation expressing their condolences to the families and loved ones of Butler and Kelley. The women had been missing since March 30, when they set out from Oklahoma to Kansas to celebrate Butler’s children’s birthday but never arrived at their destination.
**Harrowing Details Unveiled in Investigation**
Following an extensive search, authorities found the women’s vehicle abandoned in a remote area of rural Oklahoma, close to the Kansas border. On April 13, four individuals were apprehended and charged with serious offenses linked to the disappearance of Butler and Kelley. The suspects, Tad Bert Cullum, 43; Tifany Machel Adams, 54; Cole Earl Twombly, 50; and Cora Twombly, 44, are currently in custody awaiting legal proceedings.
**Legal Proceedings Unfold**
On April 14, as the investigation continued, the bodies of two individuals were recovered in Texas County, further deepening the tragedy. The medical examiner’s office played a crucial role in confirming the identities of the deceased individuals.
In a chilling turn of events, the affidavit of probable cause for the suspects’ arrest warrants shed light on a possible motive for the heinous crime. Court documents revealed that Butler was embroiled in a custody battle with Tifany Adams’ son, who is the father of Butler’s children and currently has legal custody.
**Alleged Involvement of Anti-Government Group**
The suspects, including Adams, her partner Tad Callum, and the Twombly couple, are believed to be affiliated with the anti-government group “God’s Misfits.” This revelation has added a layer of complexity to the case, raising questions about possible motives and influences.
**Upcoming Legal Proceedings**
As the investigation unfolds and the community grapples with the shocking events, all four suspects are scheduled to appear in court for their initial hearings. The gravity of the charges and the harrowing details emerging from the case have left many reeling in disbelief.
The tragic fate of Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley serves as a stark reminder of the darkness that can lurk beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary circumstances. As the legal process moves forward, the community remains united in mourning the loss of two lives cut short in such a senseless and tragic manner.
