Oklahoma bodies found – latest: Police confirm murder-suicide as Jesse McFadden’s rape victim speaks out

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

Horrifying new details have come to light about the mass killing at the Oklahoma home of a convicted rapist.

Authorities said on Wednesday that Jesse McFadden shot his six victims in the head before “staging” the grisly scene on his rural property and then turning the gun on himself.

Seven bodies were discovered at the property on Monday during a frantic search for two teenagers who failed to return home from a slumber party with a friend.

The victims were identified as McFadden’s wife Holly Guess, 35, her children, Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17, Michael James Mayo, 15, and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13, as well as two other teenagers Ivy Webster, 14, and Brittany Brewer, 15 – both of whom were friends with Guess’s children.

All six had suffered between one and three gunshot wounds in their head, Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice revealed on Wednesday, as he said that they were all “murdered” by McFadden with a handgun bought by Guess in 2022.

McFadden, who was on the state’s sex offender registry, was previously convicted of first-degree rape in 2003. He was due in court on new child porn charges on Monday when the bodies were discovered.
