As we delve into the dark depths of this horrifying case of the Henrietta Mass murders. Our focus is on the true monster, a man whose name send shivers down the spines of those who know his heinous deeds. Jesse Lee McFadden. Our story unfolds in the heart of an American city, steeped in history where tells of cowboys and pioneers resonate throughout the streets.

But beneath the nostalgic facade lies a sinister presence that emerges from the shadows. Welcome to Henrietta, a small town nestled in Ogee County, Oklahoma, with a population just over 5,600. This state, often referred to as the Bible Belt, is unfortunately notorious for being one of the largest strongholds of the Ku Klux Klan, or K K K.

Oklahoma ranked a dismal 43rd out of the 50 states in terms of livability. Paints a troubling picture with statistics such as 48th and healthcare and education, a disheartening tie for first place in unemployment, and a concerning 43rd in crime and corrections. Despite ranking fourth in incarceration rates, it holds distressing titles of a ninth in rape and 12th in violent crime.

Moreover, allegations of corruption plague both the city and county as Oklahoma was recently ranked as the 11th most corrupt state. It seems that this tumultuous environment provides a fertile breeding ground for the likes of Jesse Lee McFadden. Prepare yourselves as we journey into the twisted psyche of our central figure.

McFadden is not only a murderer, but also a registered sex offender and rapist. Despite a laundry list of red flags and his behavior encounters with law enforcement and entanglements with the legal system, the state of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Department of Corrections allowed him to step out of the prison walls, instilling in him a sense of untouchability and even empowerment.

Unsurprisingly, McFadden's behavior remained unchanged, if not more insidious, even during his time behind bars. And then a shocking turn of events, a murder suicide that claimed the lives of five innocent children. As the state deflects blame, citing the lack of support and an overburdened justice system, a dark cloud of corruption hovers over the investigation, leaving the survivors and victims families to shoulder the responsibilities that should rightfully belong to state officials, law enforcement, and legislators.

Let's begin by unmasking our monster.

What do we know about McFadden and his early childhood? We know that when, um, shortly after McFadden was born that his mom moved from Wichita, Kansas, which is where a majority of their family was. Well, I say a majority. They actually had a large portion of family in both the Kansas area and also in Oklahoma.

So not too long after he was born, they moved from Wichita to Oklahoma and they have some pretty big lineage in, in both areas. So, When LaDonna moved to McAllister, she moved to the address that sexual predator is someone who seeks sexual contact with others. If you have the opportunity to look at pictures of that address, I encourage you, because the visual just kind of, and actually it's the picture on the cover of our episode that's important.

You can even look at that. He was raised in a place where a lot of people feel like it signs sexual predator for raising a child. Important cause you'll see as we, and what do we know about what LaDonna was doing at that age, we see where he exhibited some suicide. How was she making money of being a sexual predator?

I don't know how she was making money, but she was a single parent, so she was having to work as a single parent, which isn't easy. The reason why I ask that question is because she makes a comment about McFadden's dad and when Mc McFadden asked her about his father, and she says that she met him on a corner of what he told me.

I was always under the impression that he never knew his father. He was never around and also didn't know who he was. I remember at one point being curious about, he never even heard from in his life. I know he had asked Lana some question.

As far as he told me, the only information he ever knew is that he was much older than she was at the time. How did he explain to you that he met her? Uh, when I had asked questions, I don't know if it was them next weekend or at some point he had a visit in prison with his mom. She came to visit him and he asked her how they met, and he did give me ages.

I'm not sure if I remember exactly how old she said that she was, and he was, but I guess her first reaction was that she mocked about it and said that she met him on the corner.

But Jessie, and this is in a letter, this is how he communicated this to me. So, you know, I just read this piece of paper, but then he goes on to say, oh, and then she told me about the story and about how they met ...
