Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley went missing on March 30. Kelley’s mother, Kalie Dalbey, posted on social media that her daughter had died.

Also, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol canceled the “endangered missing advisory” for the women.

The women had been traveling into Oklahoma to pick up Butler’s children, but never arrived.

Adams was the grandmother of Butler’s children, according to KFOR-TV, which reported that Cullum was her boyfriend.

KFOR reported that at the time Butler disappeared, Adams had custody of Butler’s children.

Kelley was with Butler because she supervised Butler’s visits with her children, according to the New York Post.

NewsNation reported that police believe the women were shot and that blood was found near the Eva, Oklahoma, site where the car in which they were riding was recovered.

NewsNation said that Butler and the father of her children were in a custody dispute and that in March, Butler filed for more visitation time with the children and was also seeking full custody of them.

Despite the arrests and the charges, Butler and Kelley’s remains have not been found.

“The OSBI and local law enforcement are still currently working to locate the two victims,” the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said in a statement, according to NBC.

“We are still telling everybody in that area that if you know anything or have any additional information to please contact us,” McKee said, according to Fox News.
