Court documents detail cause of death for murdered Kansas moms
Court documents detail the cause of death of two Kansas moms whose bodies were found after disappearing on a road trip to Oklahoma to pick up their kids.
In April, the Office of the Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner positively identified the two deceased persons from Texas County as 39-year-old Jilian Kelley, and 27-year-old Veronica Butler.
Butler and Kelley were last seen on March 30 heading to pick up their children before their car was found abandoned near the Oklahoma-Kansas border, with foul play suspected, police said.
The court documents, obtained by KSNW, detail that one of the defendants, Paul Grice, allegedly stabbed Butler to death while Tad Cullum allegedly killed Kelley. Grice severely cut his hand in the process of killing Butler, the documents described.
FIFTH ARREST MADE IN CONNECTION TO MURDERED KANSAS MOMS WHO DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE
Both women’s bodies were found in a cow pasture inside a chest freezer.
The document alleges Grice tossed the clothing he was wearing when he killed Butler, a stun device, and the murder weapon into the grave, KSNW reported. It also states that DNA recovered from the clothing contained both Grice and Butler’s DNA.
Cullum also allegedly tossed his clothes into the freezer with the women’s bodies, which Kelley’s and his DNA were reportedly on. Investigators uncovered that accessories to the knife were found at Cullum’s home.
MURDERED KANSAS MOMS SUSPECT BOUGHT TASERS, BURNERS BEFORE WOMEN WENT MISSING, SEARCHED ‘PAIN LEVEL’: DOCS
Tifany Machel Adams, 54, one of the women arrested, is reportedly the grandmother of Butler’s children. Court records revealed that Adams was involved in a custody dispute with Butler’s children. The children’s father is in a rehabilitation facility.
Adams, her boyfriend Cullum, and married couple Cole and Cora Twombly all face two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping and one count of conspiracy to commit murder in the deaths of Butler and visitation supervisor Kelley, a 38-year-old preacher’s wife who was also a mother.
BODIES OF MURDERED KANSAS MOMS FOUND BURIED IN FREEZER AS GRUESOME DETAILS EMERGE IN COURT DOCS
The document also alleges that the Twomblys served as lookouts on the day of the murder and confided in their 16-year-old daughter, hoping she would provide them with an alibi, KSNW reported. It claims Adams purchased the burner phones, stun devices, yellow straps found around the freezer, and even the pants that Cullum wore and buried with the victims.
Interviews with the Twombly’s daughter and a review of Adams’ phone and data from three burner phones led investigators to find the women’s bodies on April 14. The 16-year-old said her parents told her they would “not have to worry about [Butler] again” and that the two may have been placed in a well, per previous court documents.
The group’s plan was initially to “throw an anvil through Butler’s windshield while driving, making it look like an accident because anvils regularly fall off work vehicles,” Cora allegedly told the 16-year-old.
Previous court documents revealed that Adams searched “taser pain level” and other phrases that give insight into the women’s horrific deaths amid a child custody battle.
The four belonged to a religiously affiliated anti-government group called “God’s Misfits,” Fox News Digital previously reported.
Their motive, investigators say, was to get custody of Butler’s two children. Wrangler Rickman, Adams’ son, had custody of the children but was confirmed to be in an Oklahoma rehab facility when the women disappeared. Butler was allowed supervised visitation with her children every Saturday and was likely to be granted unsupervised visitation during an upcoming hearing, per court documents.
The state is arguing that all the defendants should face a preliminary hearing together instead of a separate hearing since they allege that all five conspired and participated in the murders of Butler and Kelley.

Mark Ingram reps Alabama Football, antagonizes Wisconsin fans on Big Noon Kickoff
Former Alabama Football Heisman Trophy winning running back and 11-year NFL veteran Mark Ingram has not let his job as an analyst on FOX impact his status as “King Gump” of the Tide’s fanbase.
Alabama fans have often complained about alumni like Greg McElroy trying too hard to be impartial to the point of being overly negative about the Crimson Tide. They’ve never had to worry about that with Ingram, as everywhere he goes, he makes his allegiances known.
On set in Madison for Big Noon Kickoff ahead of Alabama’s matchup with Wisconsin, Mark Ingram displayed custom Alabama Air-Force One sneakers with his feet propped up on he desk.
Ingram didn’t stop there, launching into a fired up rant directed at the crowd of Wisconsin fans gathered around the set for FOX’s pre-game show. Ingram grabbed the Tide helmet and put it on, smacking it and getting fired up with a myriad of “Roll Tide’s” sprinkled in.
Mark Ingram was part of Nick Saban’s 2008 recruiting class that changed it all for the Crimson Tide, and became the first player in program history to win the Heisman Trophy in 2009. Ingram has long been a great ambassador for the Alabama program, and continues to be a prominent media personality whose allegiance to his school has not impacted his status.
