Jesse McFadden was 39 years old when he killed himself. He had spent right at 17 of those years in prison. because in 2003 he raped a 16 year old girl. He had received a 20 year sentence, but the Oklahoma Department of Corrections had let him out three years early, in part for his good behavior while he was in the joint.
The grounds for his release raises at least one question. It is, what sort of crime do you have to commit, while incarcerated , for the Oklahoma DOC to consider your behavior bad? You see, in 2016, four years before he released Jesse McFadden got his hands on a cell phone then began sending salacious messages and photos to another 16 year old girl. He was charged with soliciting sex from a minor and possession of child pornography. The charges were still pending in 2020 when McFadden walked out of the Jess Dunn correctional institute. He was due in court to face trial on them this past Monday.
So much for Oklahoma's concept of a speedy trial. Not to mention the efficiency and awareness of the DOC bureaucracy.
Once Brother McFadden got out he married a woman named, Holly Guess who had three children by a previous marriage, or marriages. Two of those kids were, that's right, teenaged girls. Then, last year, for reasons known only to herself, Holly Guess bought a .9mm hand gun.
Given the circumstances just outlined you really don't need to be Shakespeare, or even Dashiell Hammett to see a tragedy in the making. It wasn't a matter of if, only when.
What exactly happened last weekend is unknown. We do know Jesse McFadden, his wife, and her kids, Rylee Allen, Michael Mayo, and Tiffany Guess were at a rural Okmulgee County property owned by McFadden. Tiffany invited three friends over for a slumber party. One declined , but the other two, Ivy Webster and Brittany Brewer accepted.
Reports have said the seven people were going to McAlester to work on a ranch, but they didn't show up. The teen aged girl who didn't attend said Tiffany Guess had told her they were going to a mall in Tulsa. It is doubtful McFadden had planned either trip. The walls were closing in and the only thing he was thinking about, besides sex with under aged girls, was murder.
According to Holly Geuss' mother her daughter was unaware of McFadden's 17 year stint in prison, or why he was sent there when they were first married. The father of Brittany Brewer has told media outlets he was also completely unaware of McFadden's record. Still another report quoted a friend of Holly Guess as saying Ms Guess had recently found out McFadden was molesting at least one of the daughters and was getting ready to divorce him. That particular information remains unsubstantiated.
In addition McFadden was due in Muskogee County District Court on Monday to begin his trial in the 2016 case. In other words, his immediate future looked bleak at best. However, thanks to this being America and his wife, there was a gun readily available.
So, Jesse McFadden did what any depraved, bat shit crazy guy would do. He shot his wife, her three kids, and the two other girls in their heads anywhere from one to three times. Afterward, according to authorities, he, "staged," the bodies around the property. At some point during this nightmare he texted his accuser in the upcoming trial, telling her, "This is all on you." His final act was to save the state of Oklahoma a lot of time and money by blowing his own diseased brain out.
All this while he was clearly listed on the Oklahoma Sex Offender Registry.
The alarm bells began to go off after Ivy Webster and Brittany Brewer didn't go home when they were supposed to Sunday evening. By Monday an Amber Alert was broadcast saying the two girls might be in danger and were thought to be in the company of a known sex offender. A search warrant was issued and cops arrived on McFadden's land that same day. They got there too late. The evidence points to the carnage having occurred Sunday., although McFadden himself might have still been alive that morning.
No one on the national cable news networks seems to have noticed this horror show. Perhaps it is because it was a family affair of sorts located in wilds of east central Oklahoma. Or, maybe it's because we've become so numb to this deadly shit the media just doesn't care any more. Another mass shooting--because that is exactly what it was--well, it doesn't have the panache of a school, or mall shooting. Find us something with cell phone, or police body cam videos. Even security camera footage will do. Until you do, we'll move on.
Such is the state of the first and second amendments to the constitution of the United States these days.
It is highly doubtful it's what the Founding Fathers had in mind nearly two and a half centuries ago.
