TEXAS COUNTY, Okla. (KFDA) - NewsChannel 10 obtained over a dozen search warrants related to the investigation of two Kansas women’s deaths.
Documents reveal the bodies of 27-year-old Veronica Butler and 39-year-old Jillian Kelley were found in a chest freezer on a property leased by Tad Cullum, 8.5 miles away from where Butler’s car was found abandoned.
[..]
On April 13, a search warrant was carried out at the property. Documents state an excavation on a possible burial site was started and on April 14, the chest freezer was found.
[..]
Law enforcement also found personal items in the hole that did not belong to Butler or Kelley.
Documents also reveal some items seized as evidence from the property include multiple pieces of clothing with possible blood, a saw handle, tape, a taser and a sheathed k-bar knife.
The new documents do not reveal how the two women were killed, however, NewsChannel10 has requested the summary report from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and will receive it once available.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has Cora and Cole Twombly’s pickup in custody as well as a stock trailer.
Documents reveal Cora Twombly’s daughter was made to clean the interior of the pickup truck after Cora and Cole returned from the “mission.” A friend of the daughter’s also helped clean the pickup and observed a stain the friend thought might be blood.
Cora and Cole Twombly were arrested April 13 while driving the pickup.
The OSBI took a gooseneck stock trailer into custody after a Twombly family member reported it to an agent, according to documents. The family member told authorities on April 16 that the trailer did not belong to him and he did not know where it came from.
Documents state witnesses reported to the OSBI there was a white or silver gooseneck stock trailer seen at the location of Butler’s abandoned vehicle.
[..]
The next court appearance is scheduled for June 19 at 9:00 a.m.
