The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation announced on Sunday that two bodies were found in Texas County. The identities of the bodies have yet to be determined.
Butler and Kelley, who were last seen together in a vehicle on March 30, have mysteriously disappeared, as reported by the Texas County Sheriff’s Department. Their journey began in Kansas, where they were headed to pick up Butler’s children. However, according to the missing persons alert, they never arrived at the designated pick-up location.
According to KWTV, Butler was caught up in a custody dispute, although it remains unclear whether this played a role in her disappearance.
The state’s bureau of investigation reported that the women’s car was discovered abandoned on the side of the road near Oklahoma State Highway 95, near the border between Oklahoma and Elkhart, Kansas.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation stated a few days after the car was discovered that they believed there was evidence pointing to foul play. However, they did not provide further details regarding the nature of this evidence.
