That plan allegedly involved throwing an anvil through Ms Butler's windshield while driving "because anvils regularly fall off work vehicles".
WTF kind of Wile E. Coyote-ass plan is this?

In their first attempt, the perpetrators painted a mural of the roadway on a wall, but Ms. Butler continued her commute through the painting, foiling their plan.
Hahahaha oh my god
A search of her phone later revealed she had searched for "taser pain level, gun shops, prepaid cellular phones and how to get someone out of their house", according to the affidavit.
The level of stupidity is absolutely astonishing.
And there's so much more! Most inept murder ever.
(Read the article folks. It's even dumber than you think.)
So a terrorist group?
Motive was child custody, not political.
Just ordinary crime from common criminals.
It is unclear where the two children were during the 14 days of the search.
Sooo.....where are they now? Are they still missing?
It's Kansas. Anyone under the age of 16 is considered missing.
That'll teach the government...
According to prosecutors, Ms Butler and Ms Kelley had arranged with the grandmother of Ms Butler's children to meet at a highway intersection in Oklahoma to pick up the two children - aged six and eight - and take them to a birthday party.
This is why custody exchanges between disputing parents are usually done in a neutral yet publicly occupied space, not either party's house or the middle of bum-fuck nowhere.
Sheese. They sure the four hillbillies aren't related?
