The bodies of two Kansas moms who were brutally murdered were found in a cow pasture inside a chest freezer, according to new court documents obtained by KFOR. Oklahoma state investigators suspended the search for Veronica Butler 39, and Jilian Kelley 27, in April. The pair 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 warrants also reportedly indicated that data was recovered from multiple suspects' phones involved in the case that linked them to the murders. The four belonged to a religiously affiliated anti-government group called 'God's Misfits,' Fox News Digital previously reported. It was unclear if Grice was involved in the anti-government group. Adams, one of the women arrested, is reportedly the grandmother of Butler's children.
The document said the custody battle involving Butler began in February 2019 'with many hearings and court appearances' and in the weeks leading up to her death, 'motions were filed requesting extended visitation for Butler.' Fox News Digital's Sarah Rumpf-Whitten and Christina Coulter contributed to this report.
