Seven bodies found in search for two missing Oklahoma teens, police say

Four of the seven people found dead at the home of a convicted rapist in Henryetta, Oklahoma, have now been identified by a relative.

Janette Mayo, 59, said the Okmulgee County Sheriff’s Office notified her on Monday about the deaths of her daughter Holly Guess, 35, and her grandchildren, Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17, Michael James Mayo, 15, and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13.

The other three found dead are believed to be sex offender Jesse McFadden, 15-year-old Ivy Webster and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer. While authorities have yet to release a cause of death for the seven victims, Ms Mayo said the victims were shot by McFadden at various locations across his Henryetta property.

In a Facebook post, Ms Mayo indicated that her daughter was married to McFadden. Ivy and Brittany were named in an Amber Alert on Monday morning after disappearing while in McFadden’s company. The two girls were supposed to be going swimming at a creek with McFadden’s teenage daughter.

Authorities have yet to officially confirm the names of the victims, or any details about the circumstances of their deaths.

Meanwhile, records showed McFadden had been scheduled to appear in court on the same day that seven bodies were found.
