Oklahoma police investigating ‘suspicious disappearance’ of 2 woman who vanished while heading to pick up kids

Police in Oklahoma are investigating the “suspicious disappearance” of two women whose vehicle was found abandoned in a remote area over the weekend.

Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, were “traveling together to pick up children” on Saturday but they “never made it to the pick up location,” according to the Texas County Sheriff’s Office.  

Instead, “their vehicle was found abandoned near Highway 95 and Road L, south of Elkhart, Kansas, in rural Texas County,” the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) says. 

The agency is now working with the Texas County Sheriff’s Office, Oklahoma Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies to track down the two women.
