McFadden was convicted of rape in 2003 and was sentenced to 20 years in prison, serving 17 years before being released in 2020.[1] In 2017, while serving his sentence, he was accused of sexting an underage girl.[2] In 2023 he was again accused of soliciting an underage girl and was due to stand trial the day seven bodies were found at his house. Police say McFadden shot and killed his wife Holly McFadden, Holly's three children Tiffany Guess, Michael Mayo and Rylee Allen as well as Ivy Webster and Brittany Brewer before committing suicide.[2][1]

Killings

McFadden had been scheduled for a jury trial that day for further sex offenses;[3] the bodies were discovered hours before the trial was to begin.[4] The Oklahoma Highway Patrol had issued an Amber Alert for Ivy Webster, 14, and Brittany Brewer, 16, only hours before[5] they were found among the dead.[6]
