According to Fox 23, Oklahoma Highway Patrol issued an alert on Monday after the parents of two teenagers, 14-year-old Ivy Webster, and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer, reported that their children who were staying at McFadden's home were missing. State authorities then issued a wider EMA, or Endangered Missing Advisory, and added 39-year-old Jesse L. McFadden.
According to the alert, the teens were last seen Monday at 1:22 pm in Henryetta, and advised that "both are possibly traveling in a white Chevy Avalanche with Jesse McFadden."
On Monday at 3 pm, police executed a search warrant at McFadden's property and discovered the seven bodies.
Though the authorities did not confirm the identities of the victims, the EMA was canceled after the discovery, and law enforcement told the media "We believe that we have found the persons" and that police were "no longer looking" for Webster, Brewer, and McFadden.
The Henryetta Public School system issued a statement later in the day stating that "several" students were among the victims. In a letter to the parents, the district wrote, "Our hearts are hurting, and we have considered what would be best for our students in the coming days," adding that classes would continue, but graduation ceremonies that were scheduled for the week were postponed and that grief counselors would be made available to students.
Nathan Brewer, Brittany's father, confirmed to News on 6 that his daughter was among the victims.
Tuesday, Janette Mayo, a Westville, Okla., resident, confirmed to the Associated Press that her daughter, Holly Guess, 35, was also among the victims. State records retrieved by NPR revealed that Guess and McFadden had applied for a marriage license in 2022.
Mayo added that her grandchildren — Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17, Michael James Mayo, 15, and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13 — were also found dead at the property.
The parents were shocked to find out about McFadden's criminal history after Okmulgee Investigators informed the families that the bodies of five children and two adults had been found on McFadden's rural property. Webster and Brewer had been staying with Holly McFadden's daughter, Tiffany when their parents reported them missing. Holly is Jesse's wife, the outlet reports.
Jesse McFadden was ordered to appear in court on Monday on charges that include soliciting sexual communication with a minor by use of technology and possession/distribution of juvenile pornography while he was serving a 20-year prison sentence in 2017.
In 2003, McFadden was convicted of first-degree rape in Pittsburg County and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He was released from prison in 2020, according to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC).
It was revealed the next day that McFadden had sent a series of text messages to the young girl he solicited in 2017 the night before authorities found the bodies on his property.
According to Fox 23, McFadden allegedly texted her on Sunday night, just hours before the trial was set to begin. "I did exactly what I promised I would do when I got out. I got a marketing job making great money and was being advanced been there 2 years now and made a great life like I promised I would do with you," McFadden allegedly told the victim. "Now it's all gone. "I told you I wouldn't go back," he continued. "This is all on you for continuing this."
The Websters slammed the criminal justice system for releasing McFadden and told Fox 23 that their children would still be alive if he remained behind bars. "He should not have been out and it's our justice system that needs to be harder," Justin told the outlet. "He's a pedophile and people need to know, they need to find him, lock him up."
"He shouldn't have been out to be able to do all this," Ashleigh Webster added.
