Memorial run being held to remember five teens killed in Henryetta mass murder

HENRYETTA —  It's been one year since five innocent teens were murdered by a convicted rapis t.

A memorial ride is happening Sunday honoring the lives of Brittany Brewer, Ivy Webster, Tiffany Guess, Rylee Allen, and Michael Mayo.

The teens were killed by convicted rapist, Jesse McFadden. McFadden also killed his wife Holly before killing himself.

The Medical Examiner report showed injuries consistent with sexual assault for some of the victims. McFadden was released from prison after serving 17 years of a 20 year sentence for a rape conviction.

McFadden's release while he awaited prosecution for a crime he committed in prison caused outcry to close loopholes and enact tougher sentences for sex offenders.

Recently, the Oklahoma House of Representatives passed House Bill 3992, known as Knight's Law , which will make multiple sex crimes punishable by up to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The bill was written in honor of the victims.

A flag with Brittany Brewer's name waves in the wind above her memorial that’s been spruced up on the day marking one year since she was killed.

“It’s just been a whirlwind. A tornado. Like a tornado. It just tore up everything. She was my go-to person if I needed help with anything she was right there,” said Brewer.

He says he misses her being at his side helping him do thing around the house.

“Now her baby sister who’s five years old is wanting to help, daddy, daddy, daddy, can I help, can I do this, so I’m just letting her be right there like I did Brittany,” said Brewer.

He’s organizing a memorial ride to honor her life and the other innocent teens who were killed.

The ride will start at noon at Nichols Park in Henryetta on May 5. Brewer says while it’s to honor the lives of the five teens who were murdered, it’s also being held to raise awareness and encourage parents to always know where their children are and who they're with.

“I want everybody else to remember them as well. This should never have happened to these five kids, you know, including Brittany," Brewer said.

Nichols Park will be filled with motorcycle riders, food trucks, and other vendors. Nathan says 2,000 riders have already pre-registered.

"At this point I don’t want it to happen to anyone else. I don’t want another parent to go through what I’ve been through. That’s why we’re doing this, for awareness. The main thing for this bike ride is awareness,” said Brewer.

On top of the ride, he’s also starting a nonprofit, Uknighted we stand Henryetta 23. His goal is to raise scholarship money for Henryetta seniors, all in the names of the five teens whose lives were taken.

Check-in begins at 10 a.m. on Sunday and the ride will start from the ball field parking lot. Even if you're not a motorcycle rider, you're invited to come out and support.
