OK OK, Veronica Butler 27 & Jilian Kelley 39, Vehicle Abandoned, Texas County, 30 Mar 2024 #2 *Arrests*

[whitelilac]

I hope the children are safe.
There's no telling what someone might do if cornered.

The OSBI stated that one person was arrested in Texas County and three in Cimarron County on Saturday. All four are being processed in Texas County. The OSBI says they have no other suspects in the case.

Hi, apologies I’m not caught up here, but wanted to ask quickly, do we know what the motive is here?

Custody battles. MOO

Four men. Hmmmm

The article heading says 4 men, but the article text says "4 people." So, perhaps there are still unknowns until the press conference.

It’s a stunning day in South Florida and I think a Mai Tai is in order.

Cheers to hope they’re still alive and those guilty meet lady justice.

 

[mst]

My understanding was that those 4 were in custody yesterday.
I wonder if they gave her a day or day and a half to watch what she does and how she behaves.

One of them may have ratted her out

Honestly, I don’t think she’s had the kids since this happened.

In spite of any statements made about hoping the victims are alive, I wonder if LE has known from day one they aren't, and took extra time to set up the arrests so as to avoid additional loss of life. JMO.

Maybe if someone believes they are above the law they don’t think about things that way. Maybe they feel that they are justice and are blinded by whatever sort of self-righteous rage enables a person(s) to commit such heinous acts.

Perhaps someone thinks they are the Duttons of the panhandle, went all Yellowstone and made a trip to the train station?

I am of the opinion GMA was arrested! MOO

Ironically, I thought of the same show when you posted about this being good ole boy country.

 

[browneyes]

Seeing all those SWAT vehicles made me happy for the much needed resolution. Congratulations to LE on keeping everything close to the vest. I hope the prosecutors put together a solid case.

 

[I am not Sherlock H.]

Four men. Hmmmm

Four men. Hmmmmmm. Maybe there will be another individual to be named in the future perhaps? MOO

ETA - perhaps sometime in the future, the court records that were overwhelmingly sealed after the fact, will be properly redacted (if needed) and then re-released for viewing.

I noticed that as well. Either one more arrest is pending or it is 4 ‘people’. I’d just be so surprised if not. All MOO and speculation.

If these perps are who all thought from day 1, how freaking stupid do you have to be to think no one would suspect this? This place had it figured out within an hour of the first press release the ladies were missing. Just so very dumb. I hope if these ladies don't come home that their bodies can come home to their families. This sucks.

Bag of hammers comes to mind.

Imagine just walking down the street on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma and a massive convoy of SWAT team vehicles rolls up. I hope that the kids were for sure in a safe location because depending on the motive for this I was worried about some kind of Josh Powell murder-suicide-hostage type event.

SWAT Team Saturday

I love SWAT Team Saturday!

 

[Cassady]

That's some pretty serious SWAT. Almost like they were prepared for armed resistance.

The armored vehicles are pretty normal for executing SW's. I have seen them used for arrest warrants in murder cases too.

 

[lightofmine99]

authorities state they believe there's a chance they're still alive

But why? How realistic is that? Why would the preps just plan on keeping the women alive in captivity for the next forty forevers?

Agree. The kids could be witnesses and would have been placed in protective custody away from grandma. JMO
