Since Saturday, May 6, the Oklahoma state bureau of Investigation (OSBI) has been investigating the murders of six people east of Henryetta.
That agency became the lead investigators into the crime at the request of Okmulgee County District Attorney Carol Iski.
In a late Thursday OSBI news release, Gerald Davidson pointed out, “there is a tremendous amount of information being publicly presented, from a variety of sources, as it relates to this case. In tragedies such as this, when families and communities are grieving and looking for answers, the rapid flow of information, and in some instances speculation, can lead to misinformation being widely disseminated.”
He said that misinformation can be a distraction to families and friends and could compromise the investigation. He went on to say no attempt will be made to address some of that misinformation
“The investigative process is ongoing and will be lengthy, but is an attempt to determine what led up to and occurred during this incident. The work is also to discern whether there are other potential victims or suspects not yet identified.”
The OSBI is working with several other law enforcement agencies to see what led up to the homicides of Holly McFadden, Tiffany Guess, Michael Mayo, Rylee Allen, Ivy Webster, and Brittany Brewer at the hands of Jesse McFadden.
Davidson pointed out that their investigations are confidential and the agency can’t release detailed information to the public.
Anyone who has information relevant to this investigation may call the OSBI tip line at 1- 800-522-8017, or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Those providing information may remain anonymous.
OSBI understands that at the culmination of this investigation, there will be many facets of this case that will need to be addressed.
“Some of those are not under the purview of the OSBI, but for those that are, we will attempt to address them within our statutory guidelines. Future official updates regarding the progress of the investigation appropriate for public release will be provided by the OSBI or the Okmulgee District Attorney’s Office via a subsequent press release or on the official OSBI sites.”
Davidson pledged investigators would continue to work with the family and our law enforcement partners as we all look for greater understanding. “We ask for the continued support of the family and friends of Holly, Tiffany, Michael, Rylee, Ivy, and Brittany.”
