Victims' families question release of Oklahoma sex offender

Law enforcement authorities have released no details about how they died or who killed them since the bodies were found on Monday. But a series of ominous text messages — sent by Jesse McFadden, 39, to his young accuser hours before his trial was to begin on felony charges of soliciting and possessing images of child sex abuse — suggest that he blamed the woman for ending his “great life” and that he was determined not to return to prison.
