Names released in double fatality accident north of Butler

Thank you everyone for your gracious understanding of the tragic state of our community at this time.

Although word tends to travel fast in our small communities, I believe in giving families as much time as I can manage before confirming official details. However, it is my unfortunate duty to provide certain information as the time becomes right.

The two individuals who passed away in last evening's traffic accident in Butler are identified as follows:

Parker Lawrence, 21 years old of Butler, Missouri;
Troy Guffey, 53 years old of Butler, Missouri.

As the investigation is ongoing, I have no further information to provide at this time.

Bates County Coroner

From the Butler Police Department

The Butler Police Department would like to extend thanks to the Butler Fire Department, Adrian Fire Department, Bates County Sheriff's Office, Zone 14 MSHP Troopers, Central Cass Fire, Cass County Sheriff's Office, Bates County EMS, life flight crews, and any and all emergency personnel that was on scene for their assistance with the accident that occurred last night. 

At this time, this is still an ongoing investigation. However we would like to take the time to address a rumor that has been circulating the community. There was no alcohol involved in causing this tragic accident. 

We would also like to offer our thoughts and prayers to the families of those involved.
