The body of missing Oklahoma Republican state Senate candidate Barry Christian, 54, has been found inside his truck in a remote area near Erick, authorities confirmed.
Christian, who was running for District 38, was reported missing just two days earlier after failing to attend a scheduled meeting. His vehicle was later discovered off Highway 30 near the Sandy Sanders Wildlife Management Area, where a body was found inside.
Officials said difficult terrain delayed recovery and identification, and the cause of death has not yet been determined. An investigation is ongoing.
His family has asked for privacy and dignity as they process the sudden loss.
