An Oklahoma sex offender who was released from prison early shot his wife, her three children and their two friends in the head and then killed himself, authorities confirmed Wednesday as concerns grew about why he was free in the first place.

Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice said that the victims had sustained between one and three wounds to the head when they were found Monday on a rural Oklahoma property. Jesse McFadden, a 39-year-old convicted sex offender, then shot himself, Prentice said in the first major update on the case. No suicide note was found, authorities report.

On Wednesday, authorities identified the six victims as his wife, Holly Guess, 35, and her children, Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17; Michael James Mayo, 15; and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13; as well as Tiffany's friends Ivy Webster, 14, and Brittany Brewer, 15.

Authorities said McFadden shot his victims in the head, some two or three times, before turning the weapon on himself.

The victims' bodies were found near a creek and in a heavily wooded area. Holly Guess, Tiffany Guess, Michael Mayo and McFadden were found in the same area, and Ivy Webster, Brittany Brewer and Rylee Allen were spread out in the woods. The victims hadn't been restrained, officials report, and they did not note any defensive wounds.

3. Why do these sickos have to kill their families before they commit suicide?

I can’t even …

4. I wonder if anyone has thought of doing a study of these mass murderers

I mean a thorough autopsy: Toxicology, histology of brain tissue, testing for levels of known toxic chemicals, or perhaps substances that are not currently recognized, but suspected as harmful. We all know about the gun epidemic, but I wonder if we are missing a piece of the puzzle.

5. Shouldn't have been released from jail early

From another article

Now family members of the victims are asking why McFadden, sentenced to 20 years in 2003 for first-degree rape in the sexual assault of a 17-year-old, was freed three years early, in part for good behavior, despite facing new charges that he used a contraband cell phone in 2016 to trade nude photos with the woman, then 16. He was released in 2020 after 16 years and nine months, even though the charges could send him back to prison for many years if convicted.

A spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday on why McFadden was released despite facing new felony charges.

Prosecutors objected to any early release from prison, noting that he tied a 17-year-old’s hands and feet to bedposts, cut her shirt off and raped her at knifepoint. At one point, he threatened to use the knife on her if she "did not shut up,” the records show.
