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

[CuriousCricket]

I also wonder what LE departments are even involved at this point. Seems like a very small town. I hope the national awareness will not let it slide under the covers. Jmo.

Nor for the possibility of "money talking" to sweep it under the rug.

As a result of the missing woman, Yarbrough School, where Butler graduated in 2015, will be operating in a lockdown status Tuesday.

I'd love to know -- but authorities won't even tell us the color/make/model of the vehicle! Nonetheless, although the vehicle was found on a major roadway, its very rural/isolated.

The vehicle they were traveling in was "found abandoned near Highway 95 and Road L, south of Elkhart, Kansas, in rural Texas County," according to the OSBI.

Reportedly, Veronica was driving a blue Kia. It was stated somewhere (possibly one of the News Nation videos) that it is an SUV. MOO

Investigation Continues, Yarbrough School on Lockdown​

... Butler’s blue Kia was found abandoned.

<modsnip: quoted post was removed> I don't recall. But the phones could have been in the car for the trip OR the women could indeed have disappeared from that location. The phones taken with the car would have added a nice touch . . . Wonder if the phones were found with the car?

Four children?? Jilian has four, but as far as we know, Veronica only has two.

 

[Sunbeams]

Do we know what the relation between these two women were? Are they just friends?

<modsnip: quoted post was removed>
Yes, it was stated in a video tweeted by NewsNation that the family posted on SM that Veronica's phone last pinged where the vehicle was found. Page 7 of the thread, I think. MOO

This NewsNation article references "4 children" but Court documents refer consistently to the presence of '2 children".

Is the article incorrect or are there 4 children?

MOO

I think the custodial grandmother is the key to locating these 2 women. This will not end well. Just my honest opinion.

Sadly I tend to agree on this. And for some reason, this unfolding story reminds me of the case of Anson ‘Buzz’ Clinton from New London, Connecticut, and that circa 1994 child custody case also involving Beth Ann Carpenter, the lawyer Haiman Clein, and others. Also quite a sad and interesting story as well. MOO

Jillian is an approved supervisor for the court ordered supervised visits.

Four children?? Jilian has four, but as far as we know, Veronica only has two.

I wouldn't be surprised if the father has fathered more kids with someone else and/or grandma has custody of another child's kids, which could cause some confusion as to which and how many kids are involved.

But I'm pretty sure Veronica only had the two.

Yes, I read through the most recent Court docs on the custody matter and they reference only 2 children. Thanks for your POV. The 'overall' file surrounding the "Fathers" family is sizable and haven't read that yet.

Since other info in the article appears to contradict the court documents, I'm guessing the problem is with NewsNation

 

[CuriousCricket]

Custody battles are always messy, dramatic, and in many cases selfish.

Based on what we already have gleaned, I think it’s pretty clear the direction we are headed. LE’s got this.

Are the children still with Grandma?

without an emergency filing (which I'd think is entirely possible) it would appear that way.

Geez starting to feel like a mama Wagner vibe.i hope they find these two women alive but the longer this lasts the worse this looks jmo hoping for a miracle
