Ivy Webster and Brittany Brewer: Missing teens found dead alongside convicted rapist Jesse McFadden and 4 others on Oklahoma property
HENRYETTA, OKLAHOMA: Two missing teenagers were reportedly found dead along with five other people, including convicted rapist Jesse McFadden, on an Oklahoma property on Monday morning, May 1. It was reported that 14-year-old Ivy Webster and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer were with McFadden before they died. The bodies have not yet been officially identified.
McFadden, 39, was a convicted rapist, according to Fox 23. He was given a 20-year sentence for a 2004 first-degree rape charge in Pittsburg County, as per the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. He was accused of exchanging nude photos and videos with an underage girl from the Jess Dunn Correctional Center. For this crime, he was charged with soliciting sexual communications with a minor and possession/distribution of juvenile content. He was released from prison on October 30, four years earlier than he was supposed to. On May 1, the day the bodies were found, his trial for the charges related to the exchange with the minor was supposed to begin.

Webster's mom, Ashleigh Webster, initially posted about her daughter's disappearance, writing, "My daughter Ivy Webster (Cheney) was supposed to be home at around 5 pm yesterday, April 30th. We still have not heard or seen her. Last contract was around 11 Sunday morning. She was in McAlester with a friend. She's 5'1 and about 120 lbs." She later posted an update about Webster being with McFadden and his family. Ashleigh said her daughter and Brewer were with McFadden, and the three were missing along with McFadden's wife Holly, and her children Tiffany, Michael and Rylie. It is unclear if Holly and her children were among the deceased.
'Brittany was a beautiful, smart and full of life 16 year old'
Brewer's father, Nathan Brewer, wrote on Facebook after her disappearance, sharing some pictures, "My Daughter Brittany Brewer is Missing she was last seen Saturday around 5pm last contact was 10am Sunday.. She went to McAlester Oklahoma with a friend and has not returned. She is 5'7 120lbs please share....."
An acquaintance, Cassandra Apperson, wrote after the bodies were found, "I’ve known this family for a while and Brittany was a beautiful, smart and full of life 16 year old young lady. She went out this weekend with her friends and was supposed to return home last night, and her father reported her missing and just a little while ago they found her and a few others deceased and the man responsible was also found deceased."
A GoFundMe has been set up for Brewer. "Please assist the Brewer family with the funeral expenses. This is undoubtedly one of the most difficult times they will ever experience and they need to be focused on their healing instead of worrying about how they are going to pay for Brittany’s funeral," the page reads.
