A suspect charged in the deaths of two Kansas women in Oklahoma is waiving her right to a preliminary hearing.
Cora Twombly waived her right to a preliminary hearing and right to a speedy trial this week.
Twombly faces charges including first-degree murder in the deaths of Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelly.
The women disappeared in March while traveling for a supervised visit of Butler’s children in Texas County, Oklahoma.
A search warrant revealed the women’s bodies were found inside a chest freezer during a two-day excavation of the burial site nearly nine miles from Butler’s abandoned car.
