Two women allegedly murdered during a custody battle by a grandmother and her friends were reportedly found in a chest freezer, buried on a property rented by one of the alleged killers.
Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, disappeared in rural Oklahoma in March while on their way to pick up Butler’s children from their grandmother, Tifany Adams, who would later be charged with killing the two women.
On April 13, Adams, 54, was arrested along with her boyfriend Tad Bert Cullum, 43, Cole Earl Twombly, 50, and Cora Twombly, 44. Each of the suspects is charged with murder and kidnapping in connection with the women’s deaths. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said at the time.

Days later, authorities arrested a fifth suspect, Paul Grice, in connection with the killings, ABC 7 and KOCO reported at the time.
All five are believed to be members of ‘God’s Misfits’, which authorities claim is a fringe anti-government religious group. (The group’s official Facebook page denounced the killings in a statement after the arrests).

In search warrants reviewed by several local news outlets, authorities say they found the women’s bodies in a chest freezer on a property rented by Cullum, a few miles away from where Butler’s abandoned car was found, News reports Channel 10, KTUL and KATV.
The freezer was discovered by investigators a day after they served a search warrant on the property, News Channel 10 reported, citing warrant documents.
Authorities reportedly found other items next to the freezer that did not belong to any of the victims, according to the warrant published by News Channel 10.
