Two girls are lacking in Oklahoma — and police suppose one thing may be very fallacious.
Veronica Butler, 27 (left), and Jilian Kelley, 39 (proper), went lacking over the weekend after their automotive was present in a distant a part of the state close to the Kansas border. That was in accordance with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation earlier this week. And now, within the early days of the investigation, authorities are confirming that “foul play” is suspected. Whoa.

On Wednesday, the bureau revealed in a brand new assertion on Facebook:
“Based on the information obtained from the victim’s vehicle, our investigators believe there was evidence to indicate foul play.”
Nobody has been arrested at the moment and the search continues to be on to search out the ladies. See the replace (beneath):
Obviously, their sudden disappearance is making officers very frightened. An endangered lacking individuals advisory launched by the Texas County Sheriff’s Department earlier this week identified that the moms had been touring collectively to choose up their kids once they immediately went MIA. The assertion defined:
“They never made it to the pickup location. Their car was located abandoned on the side of the road.”
The automotive was found on Saturday in Oklahoma’s Texas County, simply south of the small city of Elkhart, Kansas close to Highway 95 and Road L. The native sheriff’s workplace was the one to search out the automobile, OSBI spokesperson Hunter McKee instructed ABC News on Thursday. He didn’t mince phrases when expressing how critical of a scenario that is, noting:
“There’s every reason to believe that they could be in danger. It was a very rural area. They’re nowhere to be found. … The fact that we’ve had no contact with them for this long.”
Yikes… And the extra time passes, the more severe the end result seems, too. Not good.
According to Butler’s pastor Tim Singer, the ladies had been “acquaintances” who had been concerned in the identical church communities in Hugoton, Kansas. Jilian is the spouse of the pastor at Hugoton First Christian Church and so they had been heading to choose up Veronica’s children to go to a celebration. Jeez. We can’t think about how hectic and scary this should be for his or her households! We hope the ladies are okay and that they are going to be discovered safely and shortly!
