A regular welfare check in Oklahoma led to a surprising development in a murder case.&nbsp;

According to officials, a man sitting along the side of an interstate highway near Oklahoma City admitted to the murder of Jennifer Kyli Molloy, a 19-year-old, back in 2016.

Joseph Beck made the confession to a state trooper, who was performing the welfare check on Thursday (May 2) after an onlooker reported seeing a man sitting near an exit off I-40, according to Oklahoma Highway Patrol.&nbsp;

The officer escorted Beck to the Edmond Police Department, the initial entity probing Molloy's death.

After further investigation, the 28-year-old was detained, leading to a charge of first-degree murder.

Documentation reveals that Beck was confined within the Oklahoma County Detention Center on Friday (May 3), with his detention continuing through to Monday (May 6) morning.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol said they "hope this ultimately ends in answers for an Oklahoma family."

Molloy was found dead in her apartment in Edmond, about 15 miles north of Oklahoma City, on October 5, 2016.

The Edmond police characterised her death as suspicious and said the investigation into what happened to her turned up several leads over the years, but no arrests had previously been made.&nbsp;

The CBS affiliate KWTV disclosed Beck's confession of choking Molloy to death.

Edmond law enforcement informed the station that Beck emerged as the main person of interest in the previously unsolved case after he disclosed specifics about the homicide.

In a conversation with detectives, Beck disclosed that he and Molloy were colleagues and also admitted to having feelings for her, as per KWTV's reports.&nbsp;

Prior to the murder, Beck recounted visiting Molloy's residence with an intent to harm her and experienced rage when she requested him to depart. Following this, he confessed, he killed her.

Johnny Molloy, the victim's father, said he was shocked and angry when he learned about Beck's confession, but the arrest also brought some closure.&nbsp;

"I've been waiting on this for a long time and I never really thought it would happen," he said.

Man found on Oklahoma highway admits to woman’s murder, police report

Authorities in the US state of Oklahoma found the bodies of seven people on Monday (May 1) while searching a property in rural Oklahoma for two missing teenagers. According to a report by the news agency Associated Press, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokesman Gerald Davidson said that the bodies were found near Henryetta town which is located about 145 kilometres east of Oklahoma City.&nbsp;

Davidson said the state medical examiner would have to identify the victims and authorities were no longer searching for the missing teenagers -- 14-year-old Ivy Webster and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer, or the man they were travelling with. The man, Jesse McFadden, was on the state’s sex offender registry.&nbsp;

Speaking to reporters, Okmulgee County Sheriff Eddy Rice said, “We’ve had our share of troubles and woes, but this one is pretty bad." Rice declined to confirm the identities of the seven bodies, where they were found or information about weapons that might have been discovered on the property.&nbsp;

The County Sheriff also said that there was no other threat to the community, the Associated Press reported.&nbsp;

Earlier on Monday, a missing endangered person advisory was issued for Ivy Webster and Brittany Brewer. However, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol cancelled the advisory later in the day. The advisory said that Webster and Brewer were reportedly seen travelling with Jesse McFadden.&nbsp;

As per the Oklahoma Department of Corrections prison records, McFadden was convicted of first-degree rape in 2003 and released in October 2020. Court records showed that he was scheduled to appear in court on Monday for the start of a jury trial on charges of soliciting sexual conduct with a minor and possession of child pornography.

Meanwhile, Brittany Brewer's father Nathan told KOTV that one of the seven bodies discovered was his daughter's. “Brittany was an outgoing person. She was actually selected to be Miss Henryetta ... coming up in July for this Miss National Miss pageant in Tulsa. And now she ain’t gonna make it because she’s dead. She’s gone,” Nathan said.&nbsp;

In a separate case last year, the bodies of four men were found in the Deep Fork River in Okmulgee. Joseph Kennedy, 68, is facing four counts of first-degree murder in the case.

US: Authorities find 7 bodies during search for missing Oklahoma teens

Officials on Tuesday arrested a 45-year-old man in a case related to the killing of four Chinese residents at a marijuana farm in rural Oklahoma on Sunday night. According to the authorities, Wu Chen was arrested in Miami, Florida.&nbsp;

The state's bureau of investigation had revealed that bodies were found after police received a call of a hostage situation in northwest Oklahoma, near the town of Hennessey.&nbsp;

As per the official release, Wu was arrested just before 4 pm (local time) and transported to the Miami-Dade County Detention Center. He will face murder and shooting with intent to kill charges. The release also mentioned that Wu is awaiting extradition to Oklahoma.&nbsp;

Local police revealed that Wu apparently entered a building at 05:45 (local time) on Sunday. There were "several employees" inside at that time.&nbsp;

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation revealed that the suspect remained "inside that building for a significant amount of time before the executions began".&nbsp;

Although, medical cannabis is allowed in Oklahoma, but so far it is unclear whether or not the farm was licensed.&nbsp;

Three men and one woman were killed and a fifth person was rushed to the hospital. The police could not notify the families of the victims because of the "significant language barrier".&nbsp;

As per the authorities, there appears to be some connection between the suspect and those who died. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Cpt Stan Florence told the Associated Press news agency on Monday: "Don't know if they're related or if they're co-workers, but certainly these individuals were, we believe, all familiar with each other."&nbsp;
