WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has four people in custody in connection to the disappearance of Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley.

The OSBI tells KSN's Julia Thatcher one was arrested in Texas County, Oklahoma and three were arrested in Cimarron County. All four are being processed in Texas County.

The OSBI said all four were arrested on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping and one count of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder:

• Tad Cullum, 43
• Tifany Adams, 54
• Cole Twombly, 50
• Cora Twombly, 44

OSBI tells KSN they are still searching a wide area of Texas County for the missing women, who were last heard from 14 days ago.

NewsNation, which is owned by Nexstar which also owns KSN, correspondent Nancy Loo said a caravan of law enforcement was at two separate locations in Cimarron County.

This is a developing story. KSN will continue to provide updates as they are available.

KSN typically does not name suspects until they are charged. However due to the public interest in this case and the concern from the community, we have decided to release the name of suspects in this case.
