HENRYETTA, Okla. (AP) A registered sex offender found dead on a rural Oklahoma property with his wife, her teenage children and two visiting teens kept the family under lock and key and always had to know where they were, the wifes mother said Tuesday.

Janette Mayo, 59, of Westville, said Jesse McFaddens controlling behavior was concerning, but the family didnt learn about his criminal history until a few months ago.

He lied to my daughter, and he convinced her it was all just a huge mistake, Mayo told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Tuesday morning. He was very demure. He was very standoffish, generally very quiet, but he kept my daughter and the kids basically under lock and key. He had to know where they were at all times, which sent red flags up.
