The bodies were found in two separate areas on the sprawling property, he noted.
The bodies of Ivy Webster, Brittany and Riley were found separately approximately 100 to 150 yards apart from each other and a quarter of a mile southeast of the McFadden residence, Prentice said.
The other bodies were found farther away in a wooded area of the property, he said.
“Based on the investigation, we believe the girls were spotted in Henryetta on Saturday night,” he said. “Beyond that I can’t tell you.”

He was sentenced to 28 years in prison, but was released early, in 2020, after serving 17 years.

Prentice stressed that the parents of the girls who were sleeping over at the home of their friend of two years “did nothing wrong,” he said.
He added, “I don’t think you can be too careful with your kids.”
