In an earlier endangered missing notice, the Texas County Sheriff’s Department stated that the women were en route to “pick up children” but “never made it to the pick-up location.”
The OSBI said in a news release on March 31 that their car had been discovered abandoned and that they were looking into it as a “suspicious disappearance.”
On Saturday, April 13, four suspects were taken into custody: Tad Bert Cullum, 43; Tifany Machel Adams, 54; Cole Earl Twombly, 50; and Cora Twombly, 44.
According to NBC, the four suspects are expected to make their initial court appearance in Texas County court on Wednesday.
