Police in Oklahoma are investigating the “suspicious disappearance” of two women who went missing after heading out to pick up their children — with their car later found abandoned.
The vehicle belonging to Veronica Butler, 27, and 39-year-old Jilian Kelley was found unoccupied near Highway 95 in rural Texas County, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said Saturday on Facebook.
The two mothers were on their way to get their kids when they vanished, authorities said.
The two moms went missing after they were supposed to pick up their children.
“They never made it to the pickup location,” the department said in an advisory. “Their car was located abandoned on the side of the road.”
The bureau issued an alert shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday, one day after the Texas County Sheriff’s Office reached out for help to find the two missing women, according to reports.
Police said Butler is 5-foot-4 with red hair and green eyes and has multiple tattoos, including a Chinese symbol on her left forearm and a sunflower on her left shoulder.
Kelley has brown hair and blue eyes and has a butterfly tattoo on her left forearm.
The vehicle belonging to Veronica Butler, 27 was found unoccupied near Highway 95 in rural Texas County.
Jilian Kelley, 39, also went missing.
The National Center for Missing and Endangered also issued an alert for the women.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact the OSBI at tips@osbi.ok.gov or 1-800-522-8017.
Officials said the investigation is ongoing.
