- Police in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma found seven bodies while searching for two missing teenage girls on Monday.
- The two girls were traveling with Jesse McFadden, a sex offender who was previously convicted of first-degree rape, police said.
Police in Oklahoma said they found the bodies of seven people — including at least two teenage girls and a convicted rapist — on Monday.
Police made the discovery after one of the teens found was reported missing earlier in the day on Monday.
The Okmulgee County Sheriff's Office first announced the disappearance of Ivy Webster, 14, in a news release posted to Facebook. They said Webster went missing on Saturday after going out with her friend, Brittany Brewer, 16.
Later in the day on Monday, Okmulgee County Sheriff Eddy Rice said three of the seven bodies discovered at a property in Okmulgee County — near Henryetta, Oklahoma — were Webster, Brewer, and Jesse McFadden, 39, a convicted sex offender.
Janette Mayo, 59, of Westville, Oklahoma, told The Associated Press that the other four victims were her daughter, Holly Guess, 35, and her grandchildren, Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17, Michael James Mayo, 15, and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13.
Mayo said in a Facebook post that McFadden and Guess were married.
"My daughter loved her children and yes she married the man who killed them but she was fooled by his charm," Mayo said. "I hurt just like the other families but he took my world from me."
Police have not confirmed to the press how the seven victims died.
Court records show McFadden was previously convicted of first-degree rape and grand larceny in 2003. He was released in 2020. He was scheduled to appear in court again on Monday to face trial on charges of child pornography and child solicitation.
Rice said that the sheriff's department is no longer searching and that police "have found everything that we were seeking."
"Our hearts go out to the families and friends, schoolmates, and everyone else," Rice said.
The Okmulgee County Sheriff's Office referred Insider to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation when reached for comment on Tuesday. The OSBI did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.
