The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is currently searching for Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley who went missing nearly a week ago in a rural area of Oklahoma. Foul play is suspected in their disappearance, as evidence found in their abandoned vehicle indicates foul play. The OSBI is hopeful that the two women are still alive and is urging anyone with information about their whereabouts to come forward.
Heath Kelley, Jilian’s husband and a pastor, shared a prayer from their church calling for the safe return of the missing women. The prayer asks for guidance for those involved in the search, protection for all involved, and for Veronica and Jilian to be brought home safely to their families. The lack of answers in the investigation is weighing heavily on the fiance, husband, and pastor of the missing women.
Veronica Butler is described as having several tattoos, including a Chinese symbol on her left forearm and a sunflower on her left shoulder, while Jilian Kelley has a butterfly tattoo on her left forearm. Butler is five-feet four-inches tall with red hair and green eyes, and was last seen wearing a blue short-sleeve shirt and denim shorts. Kelley has brown hair and blue eyes, and was last seen wearing a long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and tan or beige shoes.
The vehicle that Butler and Kelley were traveling in was found abandoned near Highway 95 and Road L in rural Texas County, south of Elkhart, Kansas. Law enforcement is seeking information from anyone who may have seen the two women in the hours leading up to their disappearance. The OSBI remains hopeful that Veronica and Jilian will be found alive and is working to gather as many tips as possible to aid in the search efforts.
The McCook Christian Church in Nebraska posted a heartfelt prayer on Facebook for the safe return of Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley, asking for divine intervention and guidance in the search for the missing women. The community is coming together to support the families and loved ones of Butler and Kelley during this difficult time, and are continuing to search for clues that may lead to their whereabouts. The families are hoping for a positive outcome and are relying on the support and prayers of the community to bring Veronica and Jilian home safely.
