Families of teens found dead at rapist's Oklahoma home appeal for help
Grieving friends have set up GoFundMe pages to help support the families of teen girls found dead at a rapist's home.
Mum Holly Guess, 35, and her children Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17, Michael James Mayo, 15, and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13, were found dead at the home of convicted sex offender Jesse McFadden in Oklahoma, US.
Alongside the bodies were 14-year-old Ivy Webster and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer.
Jesse McFadden, whose body was also found by cops at the property, was set to appear in court on the same day that the victims were found.
Teenagers Ivy and Brittany were named in an Amber Alert on Monday morning after disappearing while in his company.

Emily Crescenti has since launched a GoFundMe appeal on behalf of grieving mum Ashleigh Webster whose daughter Ivy was found dead.

She wrote: Hi, I’m Emily. A close friend of Ivy's grandmother. As most of the country knows, Ivy Webster was visiting with her best friend and her family.
"Ivy is survived by her mother Ashleigh, father Justin, siblings Parker, Bentley, and Hayden Silas.
"As well as grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Please help the family in time of need as they bring their baby home and continue to support each other."
So far, more than $6,000 has been raised by family members and friends.
Meanwhile, Holly Guess's sister Heather Pettigrew has also up a fundraiser for Holly Guess, 35, Rylee, 17, Michael, 15, and Tiffany, 13, after their bodies were also found at the house of her Holly's husband, Jesse McFadden.

"This is a huge tragedy not just for my family but all of our friends and the community. So much was lost so quickly and any help is greatly appreciated."

McFadden was set to stand trial on charges of soliciting sexual conduct with a minor and possession of child sex abuse images on Monday.
He appears on the state’s sex offender registry as Oklahoma Department of Corrections prison records show he was convicted of first-degree rape in 2003 and released in October 2020.

Janette Mayo, 59, said Jesse McFadden’s controlling behaviour was concerning, but the family didn’t learn about his criminal history until a few months ago.
“He lied to my daughter, and he convinced her it was all just a huge mistake. He was very demure.
"He was very standoffish, generally very quiet, but he kept my daughter and the kids basically under lock and key. He had to know where they were at all times, which sent red flags up.”
