Authorities discovered the bodies of seven people while searching a rural Oklahoma property for two missing teenagers, state 𓄧investigators confirmed.
The bodies were found near the town of Henryetta, a town of about 6,000 located about 14⭕5 km east of Oklahoma City, on Monday, Oklahoma State B🎉ureau of Investigation spokesman Gerald Davidson said.
He sa🌟id the state medical examiner will have to identify the victims, but authorities were no longer searching for the missing teens or a man they may have been with.
“We've had our share of troubles and woes, but this one is pretty bad,” Okmulgee County Sheriff Eddy Rice♉ told reporters.
Rice declined to confirm the identities of any of the victims, where the bodies were found or any details about weapons that may have beenꦜ discovered on the property.
“We believe th𝔉ere's no other threat to the 🎐community,” he added.
A missing endangered person advisory had been issued earlie൩r Monday for 14-year-old Ivy Webster and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol cancelled the advisory Monday afternoon.
The advisory for Webster and Brewer had said they were reportedly seen traveling꧒ with Jesse McFadden, who was on the state's sex offꦰender registry. Oklahoma Department of Corrections prison records show McFadden was convicted of first-degree rape in 2003 and released in October 2020.
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 wa꧋s not immediately returned.
Brittany Brewer's father told KOTV in Tulsa that one of the bodies discove෴red was his daugh♒ter.
“Brittany was an outgoing person. She was actually selected to be Miss Henryetta ... coming up in Ju♐ly for this Miss National Miss pageant in Tulsa. And now she ain't gonna make it because she's dead. She's gone,” Nathan Brewer said.
In a separate Okmulgee County case, the bodies of four men were found October 14 in the Deep Fork River in Okmulgee, a town of around 11,000 people that is about 65 km south of Tulsa. Joseph Kennedy, 68, is facing four counts of first-degree murder in that case.
