Kansas Missing Moms Found Murdered: Anti-Government Group, "God’s Misfits" Suspected

Listen to this story below:

A dark cloud hangs over Kansas after two mothers, Jillian Kelley and Veronica Butler, vanished during a seemingly ordinary road trip to Oklahoma. 

Their story took a horrifying turn when their bodies were found buried in a freezer on a remote farm property. 

Authorities suspect foul play, and point accusing fingers toward members of a fringe anti-government group called "God's Misfits" as possible perpetrators.

Kelley, a devoted pastor's wife, and Butler, a mother eager to see her children, embarked on their trip in late March. 

Their journey ended unexpectedly, leaving their loved ones in a state of panic. 

Their car was found abandoned near a deserted intersection, leading to a desperate search that stretched for weeks. 

Finally, a grim discovery was made and this brought a devastating truth to light.

They had been brutally murdered.

Court documents, obtained by local media outlets, shed light on the investigation that led to the arrest of five individuals. 

These individuals, allegedly affiliated with "God's Misfits," now face charges of murder and kidnapping.

The documents detail a gruesome scene: the bodies of Kelley and Butler were found inside a chest freezer buried deep within a cow pasture on a property leased by one of the suspects.

The scene produced a chilling collection of potential evidence alongside the remains. 

Clothing, possibly stained with blood, was found scattered around the area. 

Tools commonly used for restraint, like duct tape and a taser, were also recovered. 

While the official cause of death remains undisclosed, authorities believe the women were not shot.

As investigators delve deeper into this case, a possible motive has emerged. 

The court documents reveal a bitter, years-long custody battle involving Butler and the paternal grandmother of her children, one of the suspects arrested in the case. 

The documents allege that the grandmother made threatening remarks about "taking care of" the custody issue permanently. 

This revelation paints a disturbing picture of a potential motive fueled by animosity.

The investigation suggests the crime may have been meticulously planned. 

The documents allege that the suspects, including the grandmother and members of "God's Misfits," stalked Butler's residence in the weeks leading up to her disappearance. 

This surveillance could have been used to track her movements and plan the abduction. 

Furthermore, data retrieved from the suspects' electronic devices reportedly links them to both the abduction site and the location where the bodies were buried.

While the investigation is ongoing, authorities are still analyzing the seized electronic devices for more evidence.  

The case raises a multitude of questions: 

What exactly transpired during the abduction? 

What was the extent of the "God's Misfits" involvement? 

Did the custody battle truly serve as the catalyst for this horrific crime?

The search for answers continues, and justice is being sought for Kelley and Butler.
