Oklahoma authorities have arrested four people for the kidnapping and murder of two women who vanished two weeks ago in the Oklahoma panhandle.
Tifany Machel Adams, 54; Tad Bert Cullum, 43; Cole Earl Twombly, 50; and Cora Twombly, 44; have been charged with two counts each of first degree murder, two counts of kidnapping, and one count of conspiracy to commit murder, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said.
Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, disappeared on March 30 while traveling to Adams’ home from Kansas to pick up Butler’s children. They never made it, and their car was found three miles from their destination on a dirt track 1,000 feet off State Highway 95 in Texas County, Oklahoma.
Law enforcement is still looking for the two women, but evidence found with the abandoned car pointed directly at foul play.
Adams is Butler’s former mother-in-law, and Cullum is her boyfriend. The Twomblys connection to the case is not clear, but Facebook posts say they are married and live in Griggs, Oklahoma, in Cimarron County.
Earlier, police said three of the four were arrested in Texas County and one was arrested in Cimarron County. All four were booked into jail in Texas County.
