Who is Justin Webster?
Ivy's father, Justin, lives in Henryetta, Oklahoma. According to his Facebook profile, he went to Willow Canyon High School and Mountain Rose Academy. He is married to Ivy's mother, Ashleigh Webster. In an interview with NewsNation where both Ashleigh and Justin were present, Ashleigh said of McFadden, "We knew him just because our kids were close so we would communicate pick up, drop offs, stuff like that. But we weren't friendly outside of that but we had met him and Holly many times."
The parents, however, said they did not know McFadden was a convicted rapist. "Tiffany Guess and our daughter were best friends," Justin said. He said, "We had a read on him that he was a little weird but we felt comfortable, especially knowing several of our daughter's friends would go over there all the time and hang out. They would go over there on the weekends. Tiffany would come over here at our house and stay here on the weekends," adding, "We never suspected any sort of maliciousness."
'I'm angry with the system'
Ivy and Brewer were reportedly there on McFadden's property when they were killed for a sleepover with his stepdaughter Tiffany, KFOR reported. Their parents said they did this several times before. Ashleigh said she did not know about McFadden's past "until we saw the Amber alert with his mug shot and our phone just started blowing up."
McFadden, 39, was a convicted rapist. 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.
However, McFadden was released from prison on October 30, four years earlier than it was scheduled, according to the Oklahoma Sex Offender Registry. His trial for the charges related to the exchange with the minor was supposed to begin on April 1. "I'm angry with the system and I think everybody in this whole country should be angry with the system," Justin said. He added, "This is a man that had priors. He was a sex offender, and he was let loose on a sentence that he should have been in there longer. And if you ask me if you messed up one time, you should be in there for life."
