“It’s been over a week. We are hopeful that we can find them alive, but obviously, it’s becoming more and more challenging.”
So, the OSBI is calling the situation a “suspicious disappearance case,” and Veronica and Jillian’s loved ones are fighting for hope and answers.
Jillian is married to Heath Kelley, the current Hugoton First Christian Church Pastor, who is supposed to become the new minister of the Willow Christian Church in Indianola, Nebraska. The Willow Christian Church has been trying to spread awareness of Veronica and Jillian’s disappearance via a Facebook post.
“Please, please be in prayer for these women. Jillian 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. God, please bring these women home to their families who are so worried about them,” the post reads.
Veronica is five foot four, has red hair and green eyes, and was last seen wearing denim shorts, a blue short-sleeved shirt, and Hey Dudes shoes.
She also has several tattoos, including a sunflower on her left shoulder and a Chinese symbol on her left forearm.
Jillian has brown hair and blue eyes and was last seen wearing white-washed blue jeans, a long-sleeve shirt, and tan or beige shoes. She has a tattoo of a butterfly on her left forearm.
If you have any information regarding their case, you are urged to contact the OSBI at (800) 522-8017.
