HENRYETTA, Okla. (AP) A woman said Tuesday that her daughter and three teenage grandchildren were among the seven people found shot to death at a rural Oklahoma property during a search for two missing teens and a convicted sex offender.
Okmulgee County Sheriff Eddy Rice said Monday that the seven bodies found near the town of Henryetta, were believed to include those of Ivy Webster, 14, and Brittany Brewer, 16, along with Jesse McFadden, the felon with whom authorities said the teens had been traveling. But Rice said the state medical examiner would have to confirm the victims identities.
We are no longer looking, Rice said Monday morning, adding: Our hearts go out to the families and friends, schoolmates and everyone else.
Janette Mayo, 59, of Westville, Oklahoma, said the sheriffs office notified her late Monday that the other four victims were her daughter, Holly Guess, 35, and her grandchildren, Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17; Michael James Mayo, 15; and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13. Mayo said Tiffany Guess was close friends with Webster and Brewer, who were spending the weekend with the family.

Oklahoma woman: Sex offender controlled my daughters family

HENRYETTA, Okla. (AP) As law enforcement officials went silent Tuesday while piecing together what led to the killing of seven people in rural Oklahoma, family members of those slain recalled the controlling nature of one of the dead, who was a registered sex offender.
Since the bodies were found early Monday, authorities have released scant information on who was killed, how they died and who killed them. But two relatives said all the victims were shot to death.
Janette Mayo, whose daughter and three teenage grandchildren were among the dead, said the controlling behavior of her son-in-law, Jesse McFadden, was concerning, but that the family didnt learn about his criminal history until a few months ago.
