Crime Alert 04.16.24

Fifteen days after Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelley are reported missing, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation announce the recovery of two bodies.
The identity of the remains has not been confirmed as yet, but we do know the remains have been sent to the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's office for identification, as well as the cause and manner of death. 
Initially, police said there was evidence of suspicious circumstances in Veronica Butler‘s car. That evidence was a small amount of blood inside the vehicle.  Police have now released new information.  The vehicle was found on a dirt path, 1,000 feet off of Oklahoma State Highway 95 and near the car, police find multiple puddles of blood, leading investigators to conclude the women were shot, before they were abducted.   
Reports began to surface that a caravan of law enforcement vehicles including swat teams was traveling in the panhandle of Oklahoma. Local reporters said there were some 20 vehicles including swat and other law enforcement vehicles in Cimarron County which split into two groups. One group went to the home of Tiffany Adams, the ex-mother-in-law of Veronica Butler, while the other group of law enforcement traveled to a different location in Cimarron County. 
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has now announced four people have been arrested in connection with the disappearance of Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelley.   Tiffany Adams, the ex-mother-in-law of Veronica Butler, and Adams' boyfriend, Tad Cullum, are in custody. 
 Cole Twombly and Cora Twombly were also arrested, and all four were taken to the Texas County Jail.  Each person faces two counts of suspicion of first-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping, and one count of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.

Abused at 8, Murdered at 13; The Sad, Short Life of Madeline Soto

Elijah Vue, 3, is still missing.
The toddler was last seen at the home of her mother's boyfriend, Jesse Vang. Vang had been taking care of the boy for about a month to reportedly help mother Katrina Baur with care and discipline.
The day Vue vanished, Vang said he was disciplining the boy, ordering him to stand next to Vang's bed and pray. Vang fell asleep. Three hours later, when Vang woke up the boy was gone.
Both Vang and Baur have been arrested, and charged with crimes related to child neglect.  A judge had paved the way for Vang to be tried.
