Four arrested, suspected of murder after Kansas women missing in Oklahoma's Texas County

Four arrests have been made related to the two Kansas women who went missing in Oklahoma's panhandle , authorities said.

All four were booked into the Texas County jail Saturday, each for two counts of first-degree murder , two counts of kidnapping and one count of conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said. Official charges have not been filed.

Investigators are still searching for the two women, Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39.

One arrest was made in Texas County, and three were made in Cimarron County, OSBI spokesperson Hunter McKee said. Both counties are in the Oklahoma panhandle, between Kansas and Texas.

Butler and Kelley were on their way to pick up children but never made it to the pick up location, according to a missing person's poster from the Texas County Sheriff's Office.

Their car was found abandoned in rural Texas County, Oklahoma — near Highway 95 and Road L, just south of Elkhart, Kansas, and the Oklahoma/Kansas border, OSBI told USA Today.

OSBI announced it suspected foul play in early April, based on evidence from the vehicle.
