Body of Missing Country Singer Found

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says the the body of missing country singer Craig Strickland was recovered from a lake Monday morning

Police say the Marine Enforcement Division located the 29-year-old’s body in Kaw Lake, located 8 miles east of Ponca City, just south of the Oklahoma-Kansas state line. 

Strickland and his friend, Chase Morland, were reported missing on December 27 during a duck hunting trip. 

The pair’s capsized boat was found the same day. 

Authorities recovered Morland’s body from the lake a day later. 

Strickland is the lead singer of the Arkansas-based country rock band Backroad Anthem.
