Search teams in Okmulgee County said seven bodies were found on a property in Henryetta, including those of two missing teenage girls.
Authorities said Ivy Webster, 14, and Brittany Brewer, 15, were last seen with Jesse McFadden, whose body was also found in a rural area east of Henryetta.
Ivy and Brittany were supposed to be spending the weekend with McFadden and his family, authorities said.
The girls were supposed to be home on Sunday, April 30 at 5 p.m., but they never showed up. OHP issued a missing and endangered alert for the girls on Monday, May 1.
Deputies got a search warrant Monday afternoon to search McFadden's home and found all of the victims in the backyard.
Deputies believe they are the two missing teenagers and McFadden. The other four victims have not been officially identified.
McFadden was a registered sex offender who was supposed to stand trial Monday, May 1, in Muskogee County.
He was charged in 2017 with using a contraband cell phone in prison to send sexual messages to a teenage girl. He was in prison at that time after being convicted of rape in 2003 in Pittsburg County.
"Our hearts go out to the families and friends, schoolmates and everyone else. It's just a tragedy in Okmulgee County," said Sheriff Eddy Rice.
The OSBI is part of the investigation and has spent hours going through evidence inside and outside of the home.
Brittany Brewer's father said he's in shock.
"I'm lost. I'm really lost. End of school's fixing to be here, she ain't gonna be there. I mean she's gone," Nathan, Brittany's father said. "I have five kids but she was like my sidekick. She helped me on the cars, she helped me everywhere, and she's gone."
The Medical Examiner will identify all seven people and determine their cause of death.
