The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is actively searching for Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley, who mysteriously disappeared nearly a week ago in a rural area of Oklahoma. Foul play is suspected in their disappearance, as indicated by evidence found in the victims' abandoned vehicle.
Authorities are hopeful that the two missing women are still alive, despite the lack of concrete leads. The OSBI is urging anyone with information about the whereabouts of Butler and Kelley to come forward. They are particularly interested in speaking with individuals who may have seen the women in the hours leading up to their disappearance.
Heath Kelley, Jilian's husband and a pastor, has turned to social media to seek prayers for the safe return of his wife and her companion. The McCook Christian Church in Nebraska shared a heartfelt prayer, asking for divine intervention in locating the missing women and ensuring their safe reunion with their families.
Veronica Butler is described as having several tattoos, including a Chinese symbol on her left forearm and a sunflower on her left shoulder. Jilian Kelley has a butterfly tattoo on her left forearm. Butler is five feet four inches tall with red hair and green eyes, while Kelley has brown hair and blue eyes.
The women were last seen wearing specific clothing items before their disappearance. Butler was in a blue short-sleeve shirt and denim shorts, while Kelley was wearing a long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and tan or beige shoes. Their abandoned vehicle was discovered near Highway 95 and Road L, south of Elkhart, Kansas, in rural Texas County.
