The local sheriff announced a discovery. While searching a rural Oklahoma property for two missing teenagers, they uncovered the bodies of seven individuals. The remains included the two missing teens. A convicted sex offender, who had been sought alongside them, was also among the deceased. Additionally, a woman later revealed that her daughter and three grandchildren were among the seven individuals found deceased.
All six individuals were discovered outside a residence rented by the McFaddens on Holly Road in Henryetta. Three of them were in one section of the property. The remaining three were in another part of the property.
According to online records, Jesse McFadden had been convicted of first-degree rape in 2003 and received a 20-year sentence. He was released from prison in October 2020. On the day of the murders, McFadden was scheduled to appear in court on charges related to child pornography. He was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
