(NewsNation) — A newly released video shows one of the suspects in the killings of the Kansas moms Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley just days after their deaths.

The video, exclusively obtained by NewsNation, aired Wednesday on “Banfield.”

Suspected of being involved in the coordination of their killings, Tifany Adams, 54, is the grandmother to Butler’s children.

The video, from just four days after the brutal killings, appeared to show Adams behaving normally at the self-checkout of a store with her grandchildren.

Adams, her boyfriend Tad Cullum, 43; Cora Twombly, 44; and her husband Cole Twombly, 50, have each been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping, and one count of conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree of Butler, 27, and Kelley, 39.

Tad Bert Cullum, 43, Tifany Machel Adams, 54, Cole Earl Twombly, 50 and Cora Twombly, 44, Paul Grice, 31, were arrested in connection to the killings of Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley.

Butler and Kelley vanished while en route to pick up Butler’s children for a supervised visit. Adams is the paternal grandmother of Butler’s children.

Authorities believe the murders were the culmination of an ongoing custody battle over Butler’s children, orchestrated by the anti-government group known as God’s Misfits.
