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

I know all of this took place in the middle of nowhere so there's a million hiding places, but not knowing where these ladies are yet is concerning.

Hoping they got lots and lots of evidence from the car.

No major rivers near Liberal. They may have been referring to the old pirate ship at the water park in Liberal.
The only lakes in the area are the city wastewater lagoons.

What is that body of water northeast of Liberal?
Anything on Cimarron River? Like a glass bottom boat cruise? Or a boat ramp for personal boats, like a pontoon?
Where was JK moving to in 5 weeks? Is there any body of water there?

The tiny boat looks to be part of a waterslides park. Odd she would describe that boat rather than a water park....lots of slides.

I thought "going on the boat" sounded like it was a family boat that they had been on before.

 

[Megnut]

Could VB have been under the impression she was getting an extended visitation? Or was it just a fun party at a waterpark? Boat feature? Actual boat boat?

I find it especially sad that she didn't get to see her children that day.... nor since.

Yes. She didn’t say ‘going on a boat’ there’s a difference. ‘A’ boat might refer to any boat. ‘The’ boat sounds like a specific boat. imo

Trickery involved? This whole thing is so sad. I kinda feel closer to Veronica, with the personal info shared today. I can see her smiling happy with her makeup on driving the blue car. Until…

It may be a South Florida thing, but we use those two terms interchangeably.
And did newsNation quote that correctly, if there is a difference, I wonder.

Right here:

Yes, that is the pirate ship right in the center

True. And did NewsNation quote friend correctly if it’s not on video, we don’t know. Hopefully, they will begin to have more people on camera.

I don't think that would be open this time of year.

 

[NDreu]

If so, would JK have accompanied them?

In theory she is to be present during the entire visitation.

Odd though as it was Easter weekend.

There's not much water in that river most of the time. Part of it is actually referred to as Dry Cimarron River.

*News Nation is a pain but at least they’re trying to report and come up with new info for readers.

Residents of Hugoton are devastated but holding out hope that the women will be found. Many have been hesitant to discuss the matter, but one resident says she visited Butler just before she went missing.

“She was so happy; she had on a full face of makeup, you know? She said, ‘I’m going to Liberal,’ and I said, ‘What are you going to do?’ She went, ‘We’re going on the boat with the kids, and we’re not coming back to Hugoton till Tuesday,'” the local resident told NewsNation.

BBM Wait...could this be the catalyst for whatever happened to these ladies? I thought VB had Saturday visitation only. As in, no overnight visits yet. They were going to have the children until Tuesday? MOO

In response to continued inquiry, the OSBI said only that it “along with other agencies, are continuing our search and are hopeful to find both women alone. Anyone with additional information can contact the OSBI at [email protected].”

NewsNation reported Tuesday that Butler and her ex-husband were in a bitter custody battle, and just 10 days before the women went missing, Butler had filed a petition in court for more visitation with her children and was seeking full custody.

Boating where? So this wasn't just a day visit, they would have the kids from Sat to Tue. Interesting, have we heard this before? Sorry if so, I haven't been able to keep up well.

Wait...could this be the catalyst for whatever happened to these ladies? I thought VB had Saturday visitation only. As in, no overnight visits yet. They were going to have the children until Tuesday? MOO.

That would actually make a lot of sense of why VB's husband was alerted so quickly, they had plans and were on a time schedule, no reason for her not to be back with the kids quickly? MOO.
