In a developing case, Oklahoma police have made arrests in connection with the disappearance of two women, Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, who went missing on March 30. The bodies of two unidentified individuals have been recovered in rural Texas County, but authorities have not confirmed if the remains belong to Butler and Kelley.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) has stated that Tad Bert Cullum, 43; Tifany Machel Adams, 54; Cole Earl Twombly, 50; and Cora Twombly, 44, were arrested in both Texas and Cimarron counties without incident. Adams is Butler's children's paternal grandmother, while Cullum is Adams' boyfriend. Cole and Cora Twombly are friends with Adams.

While the ongoing investigation has not been publicly disclosed by the police, probable cause affidavits obtained by NewsNation shed light on a contentious custody battle between Butler and Adams. The court documents reveal allegations of death threats and plans for violence exchanged between the two women.

Butler had recently filed a petition for increased visitation rights and full custody of her children, who were residing with Adams at the time of the disappearance. The custody battle, described as "problematic" by investigators, had been ongoing since February 2019.

The affidavits also mention Rickman, the father of Butler's children, who had legal custody. Rickman reported instances where Adams and Cullum refused to allow him access to the children, leading to police involvement. Court recordings revealed conversations in which Rickman discussed receiving death threats from Adams and Cullum.

On the day Butler went missing, Adams requested her court-approved supervisor to take time off, prompting Butler to seek Kelley's company for supervision during the visitation. However, they never made it to the usual pickup point, an abandoned Texas County gas station.

Additional information obtained from the investigation reveals that the four suspects were reportedly part of an anti-government group called "God's Misfits" and regularly met. The Twomblys allegedly informed their 16-year-old daughter that they would be gone on a "mission" on March 29, returning around noon the next day. Authorities were informed that during this time, they mentioned plans regarding Butler and Kelley.

The investigation is ongoing, with the bodies recovered now under examination by the medical examiner's office to confirm identity and determine cause and manner of death. The four suspects have been booked on charges including first-degree murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy to commit murder.

The first court appearance for all four suspects is scheduled for Wednesday morning, where they will be arraigned. Meanwhile, Butler's six children are currently safe and in custody of the authorities.

Authorities continue to urge anyone with information related to the case to come forward, as they work diligently to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley.
