Grandmother accused of murdering two Kansas moms amid bitter custody battle is ‘unhinged’ conspiracy theorist who plotted to raise her grandchildren in ‘God’s Misfits’ cult

The Kansas grandmother is accused of murdering her daughter-in-law and another woman is a member of a religious gang and is said to be an “unhinged” conspiracy theorist.

Tifany Adams, 54, her boyfriend Tad Cullum, 43, along with Cole and Cora Twombly, 50 and 44, have been charged with murder for the deaths of Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, in March.

The four are members of a gang called “God’s Misfits,” an anti-government religious sect, according to court documents.

Leanne Webb, who met Adams last year, told the story The New York Post that Adams is ‘unhinged’ and would post disturbing messages on her Facebook page.

‘She has a lot of strange beliefs and thinks the rest of the world is corrupt. It was all conspiracy theories and things that didn’t make sense,” Webb said.

Webb, who later unfriended Adams, told The Post that the grandmother had reposted an article in February that claimed modern society was living in a simulation.

“She would post a few times a day sometimes, but it was all that kind of stuff,” she said.

“It was just bizarre, bizarre things, and they started raising it [her grandkids] to believe the same things.”

The leader of a religious group called ‘God’s Misfits’, which goes by the name Squirrel, has charged the suspects NewsNation‘s Ashleigh Banfield.

‘Not my God, the God I serve, condemns such hatred. I have no relationship with them at all,” Squirrel said.

Butler and Kelley were traveling together on March 30 to pick up Butler’s children, ages 6 and 8, when they disappeared about three miles from their destination.

Their bodies were recovered after ‘puddles 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 chaperones when she visited the children.

Adams’ son, Wrangler Rickman, technically had custody of his and Butler’s two children, but it was confirmed that he was in rehab in Oklahoma, leaving the children largely under Adams’ supervision.

Butler had wanted more than the weekly mandatory visits with her children led by supervisors like Kelley, but Adams — who was also known to keep Rickman away from the children — had no desire to budge.

According to a witness, Adams and Cullum had planned to kill Butler earlier in February.

They came up with that plan to make it look like an accident, “because anvils fall from work vehicles on a regular basis,” the documents say.

The couple went so far as to go to Butler’s Hugoton, Kansas, home base to carry out the plan, but Butler never left her home, CNN reported.

It appears that Adams had a more detailed plan to eliminate the mother of her grandchildren for a second time.

Search records recovered for Adams showed she looked up the pain caused by a taser, various gun stores and how to buy prepaid cell phones.

Adams later went to a Walmart in February and purchased three prepaid, unregistered phones.

In March, Butler filed a motion to grant her more visitation time with her children. Days later, Adams purchased five stun guns from a nearby gun store.

Over Easter weekend, Butler was supposed to take the children to a birthday party with family after picking them up from Adams.

Adams claims Butler told her she couldn’t have the children visit during a phone call on the morning of March 30, but records show Butler was already on her way to pick up Kelley.

It should be noted that Kelley is not the regular chaperone for Butler’s visits. A woman named Cheryl Brune usually accompanied Butler, but Butler thought she was unavailable that day.

However, Burne told police she was available, but Adams had called her and told her to take a few weeks off.

Adams and Cullum left around 9 a.m. to meet Cora and Cole Twombly, according to Cora’s 16-year-old daughter, who said they were on a “mission.”

The group was all provided with burner phones so they wouldn’t use personal devices. Adams had left the grandchildren at the home of another “God’s Misfits” couple who hosted gatherings the night before the murders.

Cullum was working the night before in a pasture he rented for grazing cattle and asked the owner if he could do some heavier work in the fields.

The landowner told police he was going to use a skid steer and bulldozer to remove a tree and bury concrete.

When the Twomblys’ daughter woke up Saturday morning, the day Kelley and Butler went missing, her mother and Cole Twombly were gone.

When they got home a few hours later, they ordered the girl to clean the inside of their Chevrolet truck. She asked them what happened and they shockingly admitted to the murders.

They responded that the mission had not gone as they had planned, but that they no longer had to worry about Veronica Butler, the girl told police in an April 3 interview.

The two adults said they blocked the road to stop Butler and Kelley and lured them to where the other members were waiting for them.

Cora Twombly was asked if they had put the bodies in a well. She replied, “Something like that.”

The daughter asked why Kelley had to die and Twombly said her support of Butler made her guilty by association.

According to police, Adams picked up her two grandchildren around the same time the Twomblys arrived home on March 30.

Melissa and Joey Padilla, two of Butler’s relatives, went looking for her after she failed to arrive at the party with the children.

Around noon, they found the abandoned vehicle along with pools of blood and contacted police, who began their investigation. This led to a missing persons report and a request from public assistance for information.

Days later, police obtained search warrants for Adam’s phone, revealing the searches. On April 13, the four suspects were arrested, even though they had not yet found the bodies.

The next day, police found the bodies as the lack of traffic cameras prolonged the investigation.

Police had tracked the burner phones to the property Cullum had been working on that night, about eight miles from where Butler’s car was found. Authorities said all three phones were discovered near Butler’s car around the time she and Kelley disappeared.

Authorities discovered a hole that had been dug, backfilled and covered with hay in the pasture. In the hole they found two sets of remains confirmed to be Butler and Kelley.

Butler’s family members had to be kept away from the suspect during their court appearance on April 17, with family members shouting that Adams was a ‘f****ing b****’ while the others were ‘sorry pieces of shit’ . .
