The five suspects in the deaths of a pair of Kansas women appear together in an Oklahoma courtroom.
Tifany Adams, Tad Cullum, Paul Grice, Cole Twombley, and Cora Twombley were seen in a Texas County, Oklahoma, courtroom on Wednesday where they stand accused in the deaths of Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelley, both of Hugoton, Kansas. Court documents allege the suspects killed Butler and Kelly over a child custody dispute. Butler and Kelly disappeared on March 30th while traveling to Oklahoma. Their bodies were on April 14th. The group appeared for a discovery status hearing. Judge Clark Jett made several rulings in the case and ordered both prosecutors and defense attorneys to discuss whether the five defendants' preliminary hearings would be held jointly or separately.
The next hearing is set for July 17th.
