REVEALED: Gang accused of killing two Kansas mothers belong to creepy antigovernmental religious group known as 'God's Misfits' - as affidavit reveals toxic custody battle at heart of the murder

The suspects accused of killing two Kansas mothers belonged to a creepy antigovernmental religious gang known as 'God's Misfits.' 

Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, were traveling together to pick up Butler's children, ages six and eight, on March 30, when they disappeared about three miles from their destination.

Their bodies were recently recovered after 'pools of blood' were found next to their empty car. Butler was going through a nasty divorce and custody battle and Kelley, a pastor's wife, was one of her supervisors for her visitations with the kids.

Tifany Adams, 54, the children's grandmother and her boyfriend, Tad Cullum, 43, were arrested alongside Cole Twombly, 50, and Cora Twombly, 44, in a huge  Oklahoma SWAT raid on Saturday.

According to the affidavit, the four suspects were involved in 'God's Misfits' and attended regular meetings that were held at the Twombly's house.

Veronica Butler, 27, went missing alongside Jilian Kelley on March 30 as the two were on their way to celebrate Butler's six-year-old daughter's birthday. Both of their bodies were recently discovered

They were all arrested over the possible kidnapping and murders of both women

Cora's teenage daughter overheard the group speak about Butler, and that her own mother told her that they were involved in the women's deaths, court documents reveal. 

The unnamed teen told authorities that the group also used burner phones to communicate with each other. Agents found that Adams purchased three pre-paid phones from a Walmart in February. 

Authorities said that all three phones were discovered near Butler's car around the time she and Kelley disappeared. A hole filled with hay was also discovered near the car. 

The affidavit said that the group's original plan was to throw an anvil, or head of a large hammer, through Butler's car to kill her. 

They created that plan to make it look like an accident, 'because anvils regularly fall off of work vehicles,' records said.   

The teen also informed agents that Cora and Cole told her that they would not be home the morning of March 29, a day before Butler and Kelley were last seen, because they were going on a 'mission.'   

The couple then told the teenager that even though the 'mission' did not go as planned, they didn't have to worry about Butler anymore, court documents said. 

An affidavit revealed that Butler was going through a nasty divorce and custody battle with her husband Wrangler Cole Rickman (pictured). His mother is one of the suspects, Tifany Adams

The girl told Oklahoma State Bureau Investigation agents that this was not the first time the gang set out to kill Butler. 

She explained to officers that in February, the group tried to take Butler's life, but the mother wouldn't leave her home. Agents later found that Adams had searched for ways to get someone out of a house on the internet. 

Butler's mother-in-law had also searched for taser pain levels, pre-paid phones and gun shops, the affidavit said. 

Agents found that in addition to buying burner phones, Adams also purchased five stun guns on March 23, according to the affidavit. 

Butler's children were reportedly staying with their grandmother, Adams, as Butler and her husband, Wrangler Cole Rickman, were going through a divorce and custody battle. 

On March 20, ten days before they went missing, Butler filed a petition in court that would grant her more time with her children, with her goal being full custody. 

Court filings claimed that Butler and Adams were not getting along amid the custody battle. 

Butler had weekly, court-mandated visits every Saturday with the kids, while Kelley,  one of four people listed, supervised the 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 just three miles from where they were supposed to meet.

Multiple puddles of blood were found near the vehicle in the desolate Oklahoma panhandle. A hole filled with hay was also discovered near the car 

It was Butler's six-year-old daughter's birthday and they were planning to celebrate. 

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

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

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

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

Adams, Cullman, Cora and Cole Twombly 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 Murder in the First Degree.
