The message was sent to a woman who said she was set to testify against McFadden in a child sex abuse trial scheduled to begin the same day the bodies were found.
The woman, Kaitlyn Babb, 23, provided the message to NBC News. It was sent from an account with the name"Holly Days," and the police chief leading the investigation just outside Henryetta, Okla., Joe Prentice, said he had reviewed the message and wasn't sure if it was sent before or after the killings.“It seemed to me he was blaming her for his situation for continuing the criminal case against him,” he said.
She added: “He took away my innocence, my childhood. I didn’t want him to do that to anyone ever again.” , a CBS affiliate in Tulsa, reported Tuesday that a trial had been set multiple times over the years and delayed because of several factors, including an earlier prosecutor leaving the job and another one breaking her foot the day before the trial.Babb, a manager for a health insurance company in Texas, said she met McFadden by accident in 2015 after moving to Oklahoma from Texas to live with her grandparents. She had a new phone number and one night, got a message from McFadden.
“I knew I was doing something I shouldn’t have been doing,” she added. “He made me feel like he cared. Even though I was only 16 years old, I felt like he loved me.”The texts, letters, and phone and video calls continued for at least a year and a half, she said, even after her grandparents discovered a letter in her bedroom and reported it to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.
