Investigators on Sunday talked to a “person of interest” and served two search warrants as they tried to find out what happened to a pair of sisters who disappeared from an Edgerton, Mo., home.
The Platte County sheriff’s office said Sunday that investigators were talking to the person of interest as they searched for 19-year-old Britny Haarup and her 22-year-old sister, Ashley Key, who have been missing since Friday. Authorities did not identify the person or reveal details of the search warrants.

The women’s father, Paul Haarup, said the family was on “pins and needles” as they awaited the results of the investigation, which has included sheriff’s deputies from Platte, Clay and Clinton counties as well as investigators from the Missouri Highway Patrol and the Kansas City Police Department.
Haarup said that while family members are eager to get out information about the case, authorities stress the importance of limiting what’s said publicly so the case isn’t jeopardized.
“Our minutes right now are much longer than everybody else’s,” Haarup said. “At this point we have to put our trust in the investigators.”
The two women were reported missing Friday afternoon when Haarup’s fiancé, Matt Meyers, found her two daughters alone in a crib at her home in northern Platte County. Haarup’s cellphone also was in the house, along with her purse, her sister’s purse and the shoes her sister had been wearing.
“The truck was gone, the girls were gone, and Matt has some personal guns that had been missing as well,” the missing women’s mother, Taresa Haarup, told KCTV5, The Star’s reporting partner.
Authorities had been looking for a white 2002 Dodge Ram pickup truck that had been parked outside the home until about 9:30 a.m. Friday. It was found about 11 a.m. Saturday parked in a shady area along 200th Street, about a quarter mile east of the Platte and Clay county line.
