The older woman (Kelley) is a minister's wife, and is in charge of children's programming at her husband's church. She is an acquaintance of Butler's who is authorized by the court to be one of several people who are able to supervise the younger woman's visits with her children. The usual visitation supervisor wasn't available that day.
Extremely fraught custody battle.
They apparently never made it to the pick up place where the children were, or if they did, something happened to them there.
Never made it their destination to pick up the children. Car was found 3 miles short of the destination in Eva Ok. LEOs should release more info, where was their last known location prior to departure. What time did they depart, what is make/model/year of the car? Someone might have seen that car at X time and noticed another auto right behind them. Very rural, ain't no cameras there. Very rural short 16 mile trip. Not many cars.
I read they were on their way to pick up two children to take them to a birthday party, this supposedly came from the mother of the two children. The younger red-headed woman has a custody hearing on April 15, she has "supervised" visits with her children (red flag). The school in the area, close to the area where the car was found is on lockdown during the day, which seems like a good idea in case someone is wandering around the area.
I agree, they just aren't telling what they know. Were the cell phones and bags/purses in the vehicle? Description of their car, as someone might have passed by and seen them talking with someone. Did they check for fingerprints on the doors, and did it look like any kind of struggle outside the car?
That is sort of the "sticks", and it heads up to the cattle processing industry area, so there could have been "foot" traffic, and sadly, some in rural areas do not understand the dangers that exist, and think they live in a friendly area without worry. Also, maybe they picked up someone that wanted a ride, as I don't know why, but people still do that.
It is extremely odd, but that seems to be the standard with missing persons these days!
In short, father wanted nothing to do with the kids, entered rehab on 22 Mar and having emergency custody of the kids, left them with his mother. He could not leave them with the child's mother per a court order, as she had violated the court order that did not allow her brother to be near the children, as the court had found that he sexually molested the children. So, a lot of moving parts to this story. Sadly, the minister was set to move to a new position in Nebraska, and it would not surprise me if it were to get away from the "drama".
As far as who took them, it could be anyone, roads like that......... Hopefully more of a kidnapping, and they'll surface soon.

The most recent Ex of Wrangler Rickman (the Dad in rebab) said she has a gut feeling of what happened.
