Their vehicle was located abandoned in the Oklahoma Panhandle near the border with Kansas, near Highway 95 and Road L in rural Texas County, south of Elkhart, Kan.

Butler is described as having red hair, green eyes, standing five feet, four inches tall, and having several tattoos, including a Chinese Symbol on her left forearm and a sunflower on her left shoulder. She was last seen wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts.
Kelley is described as having brown hair, blue eyes, and a butterfly tattoo on her left forearm. She was last seen wearing white-washed blue jeans, a long-sleeved shirt and tan or beige shoes.
