A custody battle might have led to the deaths of two Kansas women who vanished on their way to pick up one of the pair's children for a birthday party last month in Oklahoma, court papers revealed on Monday. Remains were found in Texas County, Oklahoma, but have not yet been identified as Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, both of Hugoton, Kansas, officials said Monday.
Rickman also had disputes with his mother, Adams, the affidavit said. At times, Adams would keep the children and refused to turn then over to Rickman, even though he had legal custody of them, according to Ott. A key witness in the case is the 16-year-old daughter of suspect Cora Twombly.
