Tributes were paid to Brooklyn, who was a cheerleader and softball player.

“Brooklyn was an amazing kid, she loved her family and friends with all her heart,” read a statement on a GoFundMe page created for family expenses.

“She was a loyal friend and a damn good ball player! She will be greatly missed by our family.”

Austin was an active member of Future Farmers of America and enjoyed showing off their prize hogs. Her name was confirmed by relative Natalie Houston.

“She was a beautiful, intelligent young lady who was abducted far too young for reasons unknown to me,” Houston wrote on Facebook.

All six teenagers were packed into the four-seat 2015 Chevy Spark. Only two of the girls in the front seat were wearing seat belts, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said Wednesday.
