New details have emerged about the grim crime scene where seven bodies were found in odd positions at a rapist's home.
Among the bodies were two missing teenagers from Oklahoma who were reported missing after a sleepover on April 30.
The search for 14-year-old and Brittany Brewer, 16, was called to a halt just hours after it had started when police officers stormed the property of registered sex offender Jesse McFadden located 50 miles south of Tulsa, officials said.
According to Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokesperson Gerald Davidson, the seven bodies were discovered “not in the residence, but just on the property.”
The bodies of the two teenagers were found alongside those of McFadden, Holly Guess, 35, and her children, Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17, Michael James Mayo, 15, and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13.
A relative revealed in a Facebook post on Tuesday that the final four victims found at the house were those of her daughter and grandchildren, who lived with McFadden at the house.
An amber alert was issued for the two teens at around 10.30am local time by officials, but the bodies of seven people were discovered five hours later when first responders searched McFadden's property.
McFadden was due to stand trial in Muskogee County District Court on Monday for allegedly soliciting child abuse imagery in 2017, local news have reported after accessing records. It is believed that when McFadden failed to appear in court the judge issued a warrant for his arrest.
He had an extensive criminal past, which included convictions of first-degree rape and larceny in 2004. He was released in October 2020.
According to local reports, Ivy's mother revealed she was unaware of McFadden's criminal history and was alerted when using a service to locate her daughter's phone had been switched off. She added that it was unlike Ivy for her to not respond to calls and text messages.
Ivy and Brittany stayed at McFadden's home for a sleepover on April 29. McFadden was living at the property with his wife, her daughter Tiffany and her two sons.
The two teens were meant to leave the property the following day and head to a ranch, but they never arrived. No one has heard from any of them since the discovery, according to local reports.
Brittany's father shared the news that she is one of the deceased.
"Brittany was an outgoing person," he told KOTV-DT.
"She actually was selected to be Miss Henryetta for this national miss pageant in Tulsa. And now she ain't gonna make it because she's dead. She's gone."
He admitted that his daughter had regularly spent time with the McFadden family on weekends and had never previously had an issue.
Okmulgee County Sheriff Eddy Rice said he has not been involved in a case of "this magnitude" during his 18 years in the position.
"It's a tragic day in Okmulgee County again, and we just ask that you pray for the families," he said in a news conference.
How all seven died has not yet been revealed.
