WICHITA, KANSAS: At least one of the suspects involved in the March murders of a Kansas woman and a court-appointed supervisor of child visitation held extremist beliefs, which included the notion of "owning" his children and the belief that their "lives and futures" were being exploited to benefit foreign slaves and indigenous peoples as part of a government "fraud."

In court documents filed in 2023, Paul Grice, 31, reportedly identified himself as "an American State National, or Lawful Bloodline American," as per The Independent, a British tabloid.

The report did not specify which case the documents supported.

Paul Grice has made several ludicrous claims earlier

Grice was one of five persons named in preliminary court documents as being accountable for the deaths of Jilian Kelley, 39, and Veronica Butler, 27, on March 30 while they were traveling from their Kansas home to Oklahoma to pick up Butler's children for a scheduled visitation.

Grice was the final individual detained among the five people, including Tifany Adams, the grandmother of Butler's children, her boyfriend Tad Cullum, and the married couple Cole and Cora Twombley, more than a week after their arrests.

The 16-year-old daughter of Cora Twombley implicated all five individuals in an affidavit supporting Adams's arrest as the cause of Butler and Kelley's deaths. The reason for Grice not being apprehended alongside the others remains unclear.

Twombley's daughter identified the five individual as members of "God's Misfits," a religious anti-government group that met once a week at the Twombleys' home or the home of another couple mentioned in the file but unrelated to the killings.

The remains of Butler and Kelley were discovered interred on Cullum's pasture the day following the initial four arrests. Affidavits indicate that Adams and Grice confessed to their involvement in the murders.

As per The Independent, court documents unearthed from the previous year revealed that Grice had made numerous outlandish assertions.

“I am not a sovereign citizen. I am not a resident, employee or citizen of the United States government,” the court document read.

“My relationship to that Federal entity as far as jurisdiction is that of a non-resident alien to the Corporate United States government, also known as an American State National, or Lawful Bloodline American.”

“I am a free and natural man, described by the Lord God in Genesis 2:7 as a living soul, living under God’s law and his grace alone,” he said.

“I claim my children,” the document says, adding that they are his “God-given property and subject to none other.”

“There is a maximum law that says ‘what one creates one controls’: the government did not create my children and therefore does not control my children,” Grice went on to say.

He further added, “God created my children in their mother’s womb with my sperm and are my creation, my property, and I waive none of my God-given rights or duties in the upbringing of my offspring.”

Paul Grice claimed 'educational propaganda system is a joke'

Grice also said that the US “educational propaganda system is a joke, our children are taught only what the fraud of the government wants known and nothing more.”

“The awful knowledge and horror of betrayal by my own government of which I was once so proud, is now unbearable sorrow that I must now carry to my grave; but I shall do as a free man,” he said, before likening the American people to “the frog that is heated slowly to a boil in a pot of water.”

“If we had detected the heat sooner, we could have jumped out, saving both the Republic and ourselves,” he said.

“Will the American people just sit back like the frog and let the water boil, letting the government sacrifice their children’s lives and futures to benefit some foreign slaves and aborigines?” he asked.

“I don’t think so, and i for one, in the capacity of a Citizen, want no part of this moronic agenda with that insane policy,” he remarked.

In the document, one of his final statements characterizes himself as the "most despicable evil," describing it as "something so abhorrently vile that even the maggots in filth recoil from it" in reference to "the termination of our unborn offspring," as reported by CrimeOnline.

After his arrest, it's alleged that Grice's wife and children vacated their residence. When questioned by reporters during his recent court appearance about whether he had a message for the families of his victims, he responded, "Sorry for their loss."

Limited information exists about "God's Misfits," the religious group. They have denied any association with the murders, asserting themselves as a couple dedicated to spreading the message of Jesus.

Expressing weariness of negativity, the group has opted to shut down both its Facebook page and website.
