Two weeks after the "suspicious disappearance" of two Kansas women, four suspects have been arrested in Oklahoma.

On March 30, the Texas County Sheriff's Department announced that Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelley had been declared missing and at risk in a post on Facebook, later calling it a "suspicious disappearance."

Butler, 27, and Kelly, 39, had been on the way to “pick up children,” according to authorities, but never made it. Their car was found abandoned on the side of the road, and the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation (OBSI) found evidence of “foul play."

On April 13, the OBSI announced the arrest of four people: Tad Bert Cullum, 43, Tifany Machel Adams, 54, Cole Earl Twombly, 50, and Cora Twombly, 44. They were booked into the Texas County Jail on counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping and first-degree conspiracy to commit murder.

The investigation into Butler and Kelley's disappearance remains ongoing.

Kelley was identified by Willow Christian Church in Nebraska in a Facebook post that claimed she is the "wife of our new minister, Heath Kelley, and the sister-in-law of church member Hillary Kennedy."

"Please pray that Jillian and her friend Veronica are safe and that they are found quickly," the Church wrote in the post.
