Two missing Kansas women and four individuals arrested: OSBI

The OSBI confirmed to Planet Chronicle Digital that four individuals were apprehended in relation to the vanishing of two Kansas women, who were last spotted driving through the Oklahoma Panhandle.

On Saturday, the OSBI confirmed that four people were in custody, but they have not yet disclosed the identities of those arrested.

In Texas County, one person was arrested, while in Cimarron County, four others were apprehended.

According to OSBI, although arrests have been made, the women are still missing.

On March 30, Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, disappeared while driving to pick up their children. Their car was later found abandoned near the Oklahoma-Kansas border, leading police to suspect foul play.

On Thursday, Hunter McKee, public information manager of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, informed Planet Chronicle Digital that they are still communicating to everyone in the area that if they have any information or additional details, they should contact them.

On Monday, Planet Chronicle Digital reported that McKee stated it is increasingly difficult to locate the missing women as the number of days without any trace grows.

The Texas County Sheriff's Office issued a missing persons advisory for Butler, who has several tattoos, including a Chinese symbol on her left forearm and a sunflower on her left shoulder. Jilian, on the other hand, has a butterfly tattoo on her left forearm.

The alert describes Butler as having red hair and green eyes, standing at 5 feet, 4 inches tall, and last seen wearing a blue short-sleeve shirt and denim shorts.

The alert states that Kelley was last seen wearing a long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and tan or beige shoes, and has brown hair and blue eyes.
