Oklahoma sex offender ‘staged’ grisly crime scene: police
The convicted Oklahoma rapist who allegedly killed six people, including two missing teen girls, this week appeared to have “staged” the grisly scene before taking his own life, police said.
Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice said he noticed that something was off while surveying the Henryetta property where sex offender Jesse McFadden and six others were found dead on Monday.
“Without going into a lot of detail, that scene appeared to be staged to me, and that is my opinion based on what I observed,” Prentice said at a Wednesday press conference.
“I think the bodies had been moved from where they were originally killed,” he added.
The body of McFadden – who was set to be tried on Monday for soliciting child pornography – was discovered alongside that of his wife Holly Guess, 35, and her children Michael Mayo, 15, and Tiffany Guess, 13, FOX 23 reported.
Police found the remains of Guess’s daughter Rylee Allen, 17, and Brittany Brewer, 16, and Ivy Webster, 14, about a quarter of a mile away, the outlet said.
Prentice confirmed that McFadden, 39, is believed to have shot all six victims multiple times before shooting himself in the head with a nine-millimeter handgun.
Without a living suspect to question, investigators are still struggling to piece together a timeline of the killings.
“There are questions that will never get answered, because the only people that know are no longer here,” Prentice admitted.
Phone records revealed that McFadden sent several chilling messages to the victim in the Monday solicitation case on Sunday evening.
“This is all on you for continuing this,” he wrote.
While in prison for a 2003 rape, McFadden was accused of using a contraband cellphone to sext an underage girl in 2017. When he failed to appear in court on Monday, a warrant was issued for his arrest, which led to the discovery of the seven bodies.
Holly Guess’s mother, Janette Mayo, said on Tuesday that McFadden hid his criminal past from her daughter.
“He was very standoffish, generally very quiet, but he kept my daughter and the kids basically under lock and key. He had to know where they were at all times, which sent red flags up,” she said.
Holly’s sister, Heather Pettigrew, told The US Sun that the family was spared having to identify their loved ones’ bodies.
“We didn’t have to see their bodies, they identified them through dental records. I wouldn’t have the heart to see them like that,” she said.
“I want to remember them the way I knew them; lively and happy and smiling.
“We know they were all shot in the head and I am just thankful that it was quick and they didn’t have to suffer.”
