Authorities have scheduled a Monday morning news conference concerning the murder of two girls just outside of Weleetka in early June.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says new information concerning the case in the deaths of 11-year old Skyla Whitaker and 13-year old Taylor Placker will be released at that time.

Officials say they also plan to release an excerpt of a 911 call made by a family member of one of the girls' moments after they were discovered along a county road.

The girls' deaths occurred on June 8.

Thus far, OSBI agents, Okfuskee County District Attorney's Investigators, U.S. Marshalls, Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers and many other law enforcement personnel have run more than 500 leads in this case.

The news conference will be held Monday morning in front of the Okfuskee County Courthouse.
