It didn’t take very long for the Texas County Sheriff’s Office in Oklahoma to identify the suspects in the March killings of two Kansas women, according to search warrants released Thursday. The bodies of Jilian Kelley and Veronica Butler were discovered in a chest freezer buried in a cow pasture, according to the documents. Butler and Kelley were traveling to a supervised visit between Butler and her children. Kelley was to be a court-ordered monitor during the visit. The kids were staying with their grandmother, Tifany Adams, who is one of five people being held on first-degree murder charges. Authorities believe the killings stem from a bitter custody fight between Kelley and Adams, the mother of the children’s father.

Also revealed was the fact the victims’ phones were discovered in a pickup truck owned by Cole Twombly, another of the suspects in the deaths. Investigators also found white cloth gloves and DNA evidence, said the documents. (News Nation
