HENRYETTA, Oklahoma – A memorial ride is being planned to commemorate the anniversary of the tragic mass murder that claimed the lives of five teenagers in Henryetta. Ivy Webster, Brittany Brewer, Rylee Allen, Tiffany Glass, and Michael Mayo lost their lives to convicted rapist Jesse McFadden, who also took the life of his wife Holly before ending his own.
The Medical Examiner’s report revealed the horrific details of injuries consistent with sexual assault suffered by some of the victims. Jesse McFadden’s early release from prison, where he had been serving time for a prior rape conviction, sparked outrage and calls for stricter laws against sex offenders.
In light of this tragedy, the Oklahoma House of Representatives recently passed House Bill 3992, known as Knight’s Law, which imposes harsher penalties for sex crimes, including the possibility of life imprisonment without parole. This legislation was crafted in memory of the victims in Henryetta.
To honor the lives lost, United Motorcycles Against Pedophilia is coordinating the inaugural motorcycle memorial ride on May 5th at Nichols Park in Henryetta. The event will serve as a tribute to the teens and a symbol of solidarity against such senseless violence.
Participants of the memorial ride can register in advance, with check-in beginning at 10 a.m. The ride itself will commence at noon from the ball field parking lot, bringing together motorcycle enthusiasts and community members alike to remember the victims and advocate for justice.
This memorial ride stands as a testament to the enduring impact of the tragedy in Henryetta and the collective effort to honor the memories of those lost while striving for a safer, more just society.
