Meanwhile, investigators with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation continue to comb the crime scene for clues. 

A helicopter was brought in Thursday morning to survey the area from the air.

Authorities are examining DNA evidence recovered at the scene.  They are also analyzing tire tracks, shell casings, bullets and shoeprints for any possible leads.

More than 50 people  have been interviewed concerning the crime. Investigators suspect the killers are locals because the murders took place in such an isolated area.

Officials ask anyone with information regarding the case to call the OSBI Hotline at 1-800-522-8017.  The reward to catch the killers is up to $25,000.

To make a donation to the girls' separate funeral funds, contact the Bank of Commerce in Weleetka at 405-786-2216.
