The Tragic Disappearance of Two Kansas Women
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The heart-wrenching story of the disappearance of Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, has sent shockwaves through the community of Hugoton, Kansas. The two women vanished on March 30 while on a trip to Oklahoma to pick up Butler’s children, never to return.
A Chilling Discovery
Over the weekend, authorities made a grim discovery when they found two bodies in Oklahoma, later identified as Butler and Kelley by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI). The medical examiner has yet to determine the cause of death, leaving many questions unanswered.
The Arrests and Charges
Prior to the discovery of the bodies, the OSBI announced the arrest of four individuals in connection with the case. Tifany Adams, 54; Tad Cullum, 43; Cole Twombly, 50; and Cora Twombly, 44, now face multiple charges, including murder and kidnapping.
Adams, the grandmother of Butler’s children and the girlfriend of Cullum, was involved in a custody dispute with Butler, as revealed in arrest affidavits. The four suspects are alleged to be part of an anti-government group known as “God’s Misfits.”
Court Appearances and Emotional Scenes
The accused made their initial court appearances in Texas County, Oklahoma, on Wednesday morning. The judge ordered them to be held without bond, citing strong evidence against them. The courtroom was described as emotionally charged by Julia Thatcher of Nexstar’s KSNW, who was present at the hearings.
Legal Proceedings and Next Steps
Adams, Cullum, and Cole Twombly will be represented by their own attorneys, while Cora Twombly will have a court-appointed lawyer due to financial constraints. The next court date for the case is set for May 15, where more details may come to light.
A Dark Cloud Looms
As the investigation unfolds, authorities have remained tight-lipped about any additional information in the case. The community continues to mourn the loss of Butler and Kelley, hoping for justice to be served in this tragic ordeal.
