Washington, May 2 (AFP\/APP):A mystery over the identities of seven bodies found in a home in rural Oklahoma began to dissipate Tuesday as authorities called off a search for a convicted sex offender and two missing teenage girls.<\/p>\n
While the circumstances of the homicides remained unclear, authorities believed the missing girls were in a home belonging to Jesse McFadden, 39, a felon rapist.<\/p>\n
The bodies found in Henryetta, a small town south of Tulsa, Oklahoma, have not yet been formally identified. But authorities believe that Jesse McFadden and the two girls, ages 14 and 16, are among the victims.<\/p>\n
“We think we found everything we were looking for this morning,” Okmulgee County Sheriff Eddy Rice said at a news conference Monday, referring to a “tragedy.”<\/p>\n
One woman, Janette Mayo, said Tuesday on Facebook that her daughter and three grandchildren were also among the victims, in addition to the two teens.<\/p>\n
Her daughter was married to Jesse McFadden, whom Mayo called a “monster.”
\n“My daughter loved her children and yes, she married the man who killed them, but she was fooled by his charm,” Mayo wrote.<\/p>\n
The two missing teens were friends with one of Jesse McFadden’s stepdaughters and had gone to spend the night at their home, according to Fox 23.<\/p>\n
The state highway patrol had issued a missing persons bulletin earlier Monday saying the two girls were last seen at 1:22 am (0622 GMT) in Henryetta and were both possibly traveling in a white Chevrolet Avalanche with McFadden.<\/p>\n
McFadden was convicted of rape in 2003, and in a separate case accused of possessing child pornography and attempting to obtain sex with a minor.<\/p>\n
He was scheduled to appear in court on Monday for those charges, but never showed up, according to media reports.<\/p>\n
The father of one of the missing girls, Nathan Brewer, confirmed to local station KOTV that his daughter had passed away.<\/p>\n
“Brittany was an outgoing person,” he said Monday, explaining that she was scheduled to compete in a local beauty pageant soon.
