Two bodies found in hunt for Kansas mothers who disappeared two weeks ago – as police arrest four people for murder and kidnapping after ‘pools of blood’ found next to their empty car

Two bodies have been found in connection with the disappearance of a pair of Kansas mothers who were last seen two weeks ago, while four people have been charged with kidnapping and murder.

Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, were traveling together to pick up Butler’s children, ages 6 and 8, on March 30 when they disappeared about three miles from where they were supposed to pick up Butler’s children.

Butler is going through a nasty divorce and custody battle, and Kelley, a pastor’s wife, is one of her counselors for her visits with the children. It was Butler’s six-year-old daughter’s birthday, and they planned to celebrate.

Four people have been arrested following a major Oklahoma SWAT raid over the possible kidnapping and murder.

Officials have found two bodies in Oklahoma’s Texas County in connection with their disappearance, according to News Nation.

Authorities are currently transporting them to a medical examiner to identify and determine the cause of death.

A convoy of 20 police vehicles, including SWAT trucks, was seen speeding along a dirt road in the Oklahoma panhandle on Saturday.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation announced the arrests shortly after, saying there was evidence to suggest foul play.

Among the four people arrested are Tifany Adams, 54, the children’s grandmother, and Adams’ boyfriend, Tad Cullum, 43, according to NewsNation.

The two other people arrested, Cole Twombly, 50, and Cora Twombly, 44, are a couple of eight years. They are friends with Adams on Facebook.

All four individuals were booked into the Texas County Jail on two counts of first degree murder, two counts of kidnapping and one count of conspiracy to commit first degree murder.

The children were reportedly living with their grandmother, Adams, as Butler is going through a nasty divorce and custody battle with her husband, Wrangler Cole Rickman.

Kelley, described as more of an acquaintance than a friend of Butler, is a pastor’s wife who is said to oversee Butler’s visits with his children.

On March 20, ten days before they disappeared, Butler filed a petition in court that would allow her more time with her children, with her goal of full custody.

The lawsuits claimed Butler and the children’s grandmother, Adams, did not get along amid the custody battle.

Butler has weekly, court-mandated visits every Saturday with the children, with Kelley one of four people listed as supervisors for those visits.

they had made the 45 minute drive from Hugoton to a gas station in Eva, located near the Four Corners section of Oklahoma, but disappeared, with the car found only three miles from where they were supposed to meet.

Several pools of blood were found near the vehicle in the desolate Oklahoma panhandle, which was found 1,000 feet from Oklahoma State Highway 95, near a school Butler attended and graduated from in 2015.

Kelley is the wife of Pastor Heath Kelley, who serves two churches in Kansas and Nebraska.

On April 3, Kelley’s Willow Christian Church in Nebraska posted on Facebook: ‘We ask that you continue to pray for Jilian and Veronica and their families as the search and investigation continues.’

‘Pray for strength, wisdom and faith for all involved. We appreciate everyone who has shared the prayers. We are getting messages from all over the country of people praying for these two women and their families.’

Hugoton First Christian Church has also offered prayers on Facebook, while friends and family have started one Meal train page for Kelley’s family.
