‘Multiple fatalities’ after Illinois dust storm causes multi-vehicle pileup
1 May 2023
HENRYETTA, Okla. (KFOR) – Seven bodies have been found during the search for two missing teenagers in eastern Oklahoma, authorities have confirmed.
An Amber Alert was issued Monday for 14-year-old Ivy Webster and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer, who were last seen Monday morning at 1:22 a.m. in Henryetta, roughly 90 miles east of Oklahoma City.
According to the Okmulgee County Sheriff’s Office, Webster was supposed to return home by 5 p.m. Sunday after spending the weekend with a friend but didn’t show up.
Webster was reported to be staying with Holly McFadden, her daughter, and Jesse McFadden, who was on the state’s sex offender registry.
Oklahoma Department of Corrections prison records show McFadden was convicted of first-degree rape in 2003 and released in October 2020.
It was thought the group went to a ranch in McAlester, but the sheriff’s office says that didn’t happen. Investigators also say at some point, Brittany Brewer was picked up Saturday night by the group.
Monday evening, authorities confirmed to KJRH and KTUL that a search warrant was executed at a property in Henryetta.
There, authorities say they found seven bodies. They believe three are Webster, Brewer, and Jesse McFadden. The Medical Examiner is working to confirm the identities.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol canceled the missing endangered person advisory for Webster and Brewer Monday afternoon.
Court records show McFadden was scheduled to appear in court Monday for the start of a jury trial on charges of soliciting sexual conduct with a minor and possession of child pornography. A message left Monday evening with McFadden’s attorney in that case was not immediately returned.
