The bodies of two missing Kansas moms, Jilian Kelley and Veronica Butler, were found in rural Texas County in Oklahoma. The Office of the Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner positively identified the deceased individuals. The two women were last seen on March 30 heading to pick up their children before their car was found abandoned near the Oklahoma-Kansas border. Foul play was suspected in their disappearance, leading to a large-scale investigation to find them.
After announcing that the bodies found were those of Jilian Kelley and Veronica Butler, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation arrested four suspects in connection with the case. Tad Bert Cullum, Tifany Machel Adams, Cole Earl Twombly, and Cora Twombly were taken into custody and booked on charges including first-degree murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy to commit murder. Adams, one of the suspects, is reportedly the grandmother of Butler’s children and had been involved in a custody dispute with Butler prior to her disappearance. This led to speculations regarding potential motives for the crime.
Court records revealed that Butler was allowed supervised visits with her children, and Kelley was serving as the court-ordered supervisor on the day they disappeared. The custody dispute involving Butler had been ongoing since February 2019, with motions filed for extended visitation for Butler in the weeks leading up to her death. It was during one of these supervised visits that the two women went missing, leading to a tragic end in rural Oklahoma. The medical examiner will now work to determine the manner of their deaths.
The community and loved ones of Jilian Kelley and Veronica Butler are again mourning the loss of two individuals tragically taken too soon. The news of their deaths brings closure to what has been a heartbreaking and mysterious case that captivated the public’s attention. The suspects involved in the case are now facing serious charges and will go through the legal process as authorities work towards justice for the victims. The four individuals arrested are connected to an anti-government group, adding another layer to the complexities surrounding the case, as more information about the suspects and their motives is revealed.
As the investigation continues, authorities will work to piece together the events leading to the deaths of Kelley and Butler, shedding light on what happened on the day they went missing. The contributions of Fox News Digital’s Stepheny Price to the report highlight the importance of media coverage in ensuring that the story of the two missing moms is told and that justice is served. The tragic ending to this story serves as a reminder of the importance of community support and the tireless efforts of law enforcement agencies in bringing closure to families of missing persons.
