Four people have been arrested for murder after two women went missing in Oklahoma last month.
Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, were on their way to pick up Butler’s children but never made it to their final destination. Their car was found abandoned near Highway 95, just south of the Kansas and Oklahoma borders. Authorities quickly determined that foul play was a factor in their disappearance.
On Saturday, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation announced that Tad Bert Cullum, 43, Tifany Machel Adams, 54, Cole Earl Twombly, 50 and Cora Twombly were arrested in Texas and Cimarron counties.
All of the suspects have been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping and one count of conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree. Authorities are still searching for the two victims.
Information for the suspects was not immediately available on Oklahoma’s inmate database. Officials have not released any additional information about the crime.
