Two women lured to their deaths in rural Oklahoma by a group called “God’s Misfits” did not die from gunshot wounds, according to a new report.

Yet how Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, were murdered remains unclear. Their bodies were found buried on a pasture on 14 April, after disappearing two weeks prior on their way to a pre-arranged, supervised custody visit. Ms Kelley was acting as a supervisor for Butler’s visit with her children.

Officials in Oklahoma have confirmed that the bodies are Butler and Kelley but were not able toto confirm cause of death. The Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation, which is leading inquires, declined to comment.
