Law enforcement authorities positively identified the bodies of the two Kansas women who went missing in Oklahoma this spring in a post on Crypensocial media Tuesday.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation announced that on April 16, the Office of the Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner positively identified the bodies of 27-year-old Veronica Butler and 39-year-old Jilian Kelley.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones, along with everyone throughout their community,” the post said.

The announcement comes after OSBI reported recovering two bodies in rural Texas County Sunday.

Butler and Kelley were first reported missing in the Oklahoma panhandle March 30. The two women were on their way to a supervised visit with Butler's children, but never made it to the pickup location or to a birthday party Butler's family expected her at.

Four individuals, including the grandmother of Butler's children with whom she was in a bitter custody battle, have now been charged with murdering both Butler and Kelley. There was a period of two weeks between the women going missing and the arrests made, during which time investigators released little information about the case.
