As investigation into Oklahoma murder plot continues, questions remain: What we know

While court documents and a recent press conference have revealed more information about what happened to two missing Kansas women in Oklahoma, there are still unanswered questions.

The two women, Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, 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 whom she was in a bitter custody battle with, 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.

Four arrested, two bodies found: What we know about two Kansas women missing in Oklahoma

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokesperson Hunter McKee said limiting information released to the public is typical of any investigation the agency conducts.

"This is what you have to do in order to get the job done ... in order to catch those responsible, and do everything in our power to find both of these people who went missing from the very beginning," McKee said at a press conference Monday.

The investigation is still ongoing, but there are still some unanswered questions.

Where were the two bodies found?

Two bodies were found in rural Texas County on Sunday and have been sent to Oklahoma's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

McKee said he couldn't discuss where the bodies were found, or whether they were found on private property. He only said that evidence and information obtained by investigators was used to "search a wide area throughout Texas County" and eventually led to their discovery.

McKee also said he could not discuss the condition of the bodies.

Have the bodies of Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley been found?

While OSBI has confirmed Butler and Kelley are dead, and multiple other law enforcement agencies involved have offered their condolences to their families, the two bodies have not been officially identified as the two women.

The Medical Examiner will conduct the identification process.

How did the missing Kansas women die?

The Medical Examiner is also working to determine a cause and manner of death.

Medical Examiner reports are public documents, but can take weeks to months to be completed.

Are there other suspects in the missing Kansas women case?

Court documents name various other people in the community — including one person a witness believed to be present during the attack on Butler and Kelley and the owner of property where "burner phones" were found buried — but McKee said there are no suspects at large.

"Based on the evidence and the information that we were able to obtain throughout the entire investigation — what was found inside of the vehicle, witnesses, family, friends of the victims that we were able to talk to throughout this entire process — we were able to gain the information to determine that these four people are responsible for both of these women going missing," McKee said.

Will the death penalty be pursued?

While murder in the first degree is eligible for capital punishment in Oklahoma, McKee said prosecutors will determine whether they want to pursue the death penalty "further down the line."
