Oklahoma bodies found – live: Missing teen girls found dead alongside convicted rapist and four others at home

Two missing teenage girls have been found dead in a house in Oklahoma, along with their suspected abductor and four other people, authorities say.

Brittany Brewer, 16, and Ivy Webster, 14, were named in an Amber Alert on Monday morning after disappearing while in the company of a man named Jesse McFadden, who is reportedly a convicted sex offender.

But on Monday afternoon Okmulgee county sheriff Eddy Rice said the two girls and Mr McFadden are believed to be among seven dead bodies discovered in a rural home east of the city of Henryetta, about 50 miles south of Tulsa.

This is the second grisly tragedy to strike the Okmulgee area in the past year.

Last October, police found the dismembered remains of missing brothers Billy Chastain, 30, and Mark Chastain, 32, along with their friends 29-year-old Alex Stevens and 32-year-old Mike Sparks, in the Deep Fork River.

Each had suffered gunshot wounds, and officers aid the killings had been extremely violent in nature. You can read more about that case here.

Authorities later charged scrapyard owner Joseph Kennedy, 67, with murdering the four men, based on video footage from a nearby business, cell phone location data, DNA evidence, and the testimony of a woman who said Mr Kennedy had admitted to her that he killed them.

In December, prosecutors said Mr Kennedy had confessed to the crime.

Who were the four other bodies found?

In his press conference earlier today, County sheriff Eddy Rice refused to say much about the identity of the other four bodies.

"Nobody [else] was reported missing. There were other family members related to the one family," he said, without specifying which family he meant.

But according to KJRH reporter Erin Christy, the other four people found dead may be the family of Jesse McFadden, a 39-year-old who was released from prison in 2020 after serving nearly 17 years in jail for rape.

"Over the weekend, Ivy Webster and Brittany Brewer had a sleepover with Tiffany McFadden, Jesse’s stepdaughter," Ms Christy said on Facebook earlier this morning.

"They were supposed to go swimming on a ranch in McAlester but never showed. No one has heard Ivy, Brittany, Tiffany, Tiffany’s two brothers, Jesse, or his wife, Holly.

"I spoke to Ivy’s mother who said Ivy’s Life 360, a phone tracking service, was turned off. She was unaware of McFadden's criminal history. She says it is extremely unlike her to not respond to text messages or calls."

Oklahoma penal records show that Jesse McFadden was a convicted rapist who was sentenced to 20 years in prison, of which he served nearly 17 years.

According toThe Muskogee Phoenix, he was also charged in 2017 with using a contraband cell phone to solicit sexual conduct from a 16-year-old girl in Muskogee the previous year.

His trial date had reportedly been set for today, Monday 1 April, though it’s not clear why it took so long for his case to make its way to court.
