Country singer Craig Strickland missing, friend found dead
Published December 29, 2015

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says the body of a 22-year-old man has been recovered and a second man is missing after the two went duck hunting and their boat capsized.

Patrol Capt. Paul Timmons confirmed Monday that rescuers discovered the body of Chase Marland from Kaw Lake in northern Oklahoma. A second man, 29-year-old Craig Strickland of Springdale, Arkansas, was still missing.

Rescue workers found the boat shortly after midnight Monday, after the two were reported missing.

Strickland is the lead singer of the Arkansas-based country-rock band Backroad Anthem, which posted on its Facebook page that he and another man were missing.

Sheriff Joel Kerns in southeast Oklahoma says rescuers also are searching for a man whose vehicle was swept off a flooded county road.

This, Craig Strickland case is a bizarre mystery in my opinion.

Why would he go in a storm like this with 2 other guys.?

Why chance it when he us a newlywed to Miss Arkansas?

Why would he post it on Twitter & say ' If I don't make it back, I went to Oklahoma.. to kill ducks '. Which his wife re tweeted.
(I know some people put their entire lives out there.. but I still find it odd).

So now..a capsized boat & one dead body found & him and another Strickland missing.
----------
The comments I have been reading.
I find totally inappropriate & insensitive. Untimely.

But then again..I find all anti 2nd amendment/anti gun, anti hunting people inappropriate. spock

Well...let them worry about ducks...

yes,People make some strange "Headscratcher-Decisions"!
Possibly because of overconfidence of their abilities to cope with the circumstances!
What peeves me is those Vultures sitting ensconced in their Ma's Basement trying to second-guess them!

Not a mystery to me....duck hunting is better in bad weather...plus, the fact that he was an entertainer with little free time on his hands probably led to his decision to go on with the trip.....no one know if the storm played a part in this event...boats capsize for many different reasons. We usually have quite a few duck hunters perish here in La...and weather isnt a factor...except for may cold contributing to hypothermia after falling out of a boat or whatever.

Why would he post it on Twitter & say ' If I
don't make it back, I went to Oklahoma.. to kill
ducks '. Which his wife re tweeted.
(I know some people put their entire lives out
there.. but I still find it odd).
Again...I would attribute the tweet to him being an entertainer...and promoting his lifestyle and how it reflects his fanbase.

As for the idiotic comments in the OP....just people typing $hit they wouldnt actually say to anyone face to face.

Strickland could've killed his friend and be on the run. Could've been an accident.

You never know.

I hope not and they find him safe and it's storm related.

I know. I don't know how that little $hit still has his green card. He has been arrested and convicted numerous times.

Oh wait, that's right. Obama doesn't want to deport people, even if they are criminals!

Excerpt from article. .


Hours after the search for country singer Craig Strickland was called off for the night by Oklahoma Highway Patrol, authorities tell ABC News the search will continue today for the Backroad Anthem front man.

Capt. Paul Timmons told ABC News on Tuesday morning that the body of Strickland's friend Chase Morland, 22, was found on Monday in northern Oklahoma near Tulsa. The two had been missing following a hunting trip in the middle of a storm.

Morland's body was sent over to the local medical examiner's office, Timmons added. He said parts of the state have been suffering from harsh weather, including ice and snow, and high winds. There has also been major flooding.

Strickland's wife Helen tweeted, "His boat has been confirmed as being capsized." She also updated friends and fans on the couple's dog Sam, who was with the guys during the incident.
