Authorities looking for a missing young man in the US found 7 bodies
In the US state of Oklahoma, security forces found the bodies of 7 people in the house and on the land where they were looking for two missing teenagers.
Okmulgee Town Police Chief Eddy Rice said in a statement that they searched a home and its grounds to find the two missing teens.
Stating that they found 7 bodies during the search, Rice said they thought the dead bodies of 14-year-old Ivy Webster and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer were among the bodies.
“We believe we have found the people we are looking for.” Rice expressed his condolences to the families of the youths who lost their lives.
The bodies of Webster and Brewer are presumed to be among the bodies found.
Noting that the exact identification will be announced after the medical reports, Rice said: “We have finished our search for the missing persons. We believe that there is no threat to society,” she said. Rice would not disclose the cause of death of the people whose bodies were found, but said they included Jesse McFadden, who was convicted of sexual assault and lived in the house she was being searched.
This is what the region looks like in drone images.
Authorities reported that Webster and Brewer, who have been declared missing, were last seen traveling with McFadden. McFadden, who was arrested in 2003 on charges of rape and sexual relations with minors, was released in October 2020, according to court sources.
On the other hand, in statements to a local television channel, Brittany Brewer’s father confirmed that his daughter’s body was among the bodies found. The father, who said her daughter spent time with the McFadden family over the weekend, said Britanny, who was supposed to return home Sunday, has been missing since that day. (AA)
