Okmulgee County search crews said seven bodies were found on a property in Henryetta, including those of two missing teenage girls.
Authorities said 14-year-old Ivy Webster and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer were last seen with Jesse McFadden, whose body was also found in a rural area east of Henryetta.
Ivy and Brittany were to spend the weekend with McFadden and his family, authorities said.
The girls were supposed to be home at 5pm on Sunday, April 30, but they never showed up. OHP issued a missing and endangered alert for the girls on Monday, May 1.
Officers obtained a search warrant Monday afternoon to search McFadden’s home and found all of the victims in the backyard.
Deputies believe they are the two missing teenagers and McFadden. The other four victims have not been officially identified.
McFadden was a registered sex offender who was scheduled to be arraigned Monday, May 1, in Muskogee County.
In 2017 he was accused of using a contraband mobile phone in prison to send sexual messages to a teenage girl. He was in prison at the time after a 2003 rape conviction in Pittsburg County.
“Our hearts go out to the families and friends, schoolmates and everyone else. It’s just a tragedy in Okmulgee County,” said Sheriff Eddy Rice.
The OSBI is part of the investigation and has spent hours analyzing evidence inside and outside the home.
Brittany Brewer’s father said he is in shock.
“I’m lost. I’m so lost. The end of school is getting ready to be here, she’s not going to be there. I mean she’s gone,” said Nathan, Brittany’s father. “I have five children, but she was like my partner. She helped me with the cars, she helped me everywhere and she left.”
The medical examiner will identify the seven people and determine their cause of death.
