The search for two missing Oklahoma teens was called off when their bodies were found. It appears from initial reports that their suspected “abductor” was dead nearby. They also found four more bodies. Authorities are relating what they know so far but this remains a breaking story, to be updated as further information becomes available.
Teens found dead
Two female teens reported missing were “found dead on a rural Oklahoma property along with six other people, including a convicted sex offender.” Brittany Brewer was 16-years-old and had just been named Miss Henryetta.
She was expecting to move up to the National levels at the American Miss pageant in Tulsa. Her close friend, 14-year-old Ivy Webster, was also abducted and killed.
The teens had been missing since Sunday night, New York Post reports. Brittany and Ivy “were found dead near the body of Jesse McFadden, 39, a registered sex offender who was set to appear in court Monday.”

There, he was facing “charges of soliciting child pornography.” Details aren’t clear but he apparently took his own life after murdering the girls.
Brittany’s family knew her killer. According to her dad, Nathan Brewer, “his daughter had spent the weekend with McFadden’s family several times in the past without incident.” The Post notes that “McFadden’s trial on Monday stemmed from accusations that he sexted an underage girl with a contraband phone while he was in prison in 2017.”
That was bad but not as serious as murdering the young teens. Brittany, reports note, “was found alongside her friend, Ivy Webster” but they aren’t saying much more. Meanwhile, a relative of the other four victims discovered came forward to talk about them.
Four more victims
While police aren’t talking about the case because they don’t want to spoil their investigation, “a relative of four of the victims said they were found shot to death in various locations on the property, which belonged to McFadden.” Besides the two recently murdered teens, Okmulgee County Sheriff’s Office found 35-year-old Holly Guess.
Holly’s mom, Janette Mayo, came forward to report that along with her daughter, police found the bodies of her grandchildren. “Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17, Michael James Mayo, 15, and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13.”
It isn’t clear at this point if “Brittany, Ivy and McFadden also died from gunshot wounds.” The bodies were discovered “at a property in Henryetta, a city about 90 miles from Oklahoma City.”

Police had been searching frantically after “the two teens were last seen early Monday morning in Henryetta, and they could have been traveling with McFadden.”
The latest update available isn’t from the most reliable of sources but notes “Jesse McFadden had spent 16 years in prison.” It also states, “According to various reports, the parents of the teenagers knew McFadden and they had been sent home to spend a sleepover with their family. The killer lived with his wife Holly and their three children, including Tiffany, who was alleged to be a friend of the victims.”
Finally, they report “the circumstances of the deaths are unclear. It is not yet known for certain whether the rest of the corpses belong to the McFadden family. The parents of the dead girls were unaware of the defendant’s dark past: McFadden worked as an independent contractor, but he was a sex offender convicted in 2004 of first-degree rape.“
