BECKHAM COUNTY, Okla. — The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is investigating after searchers found the body of missing State Senate Candidate Barry Christian on April 30.
OSBI said Beckham County deputies located a truck near Erick, OK, that matched the description of Christian's truck.
Investigators found a body in the truck at Sandy Sanders Wildlife Management Area. Officials later identified Christian.
No one saw Christian since April 28th, the Harmon County Sheriff's Office said he failed to appear for a scheduled meeting that day.
Christian was running for OK Senate District 38.
In a news release from the family, Christian's daughter said, "Please pray for our family and friends. Our world is upside down right now. We are still not sure of everything that happened, so please act with grace and treat my dad's legacy with dignity."
OSBI is asking anyone with information to call the OSBI tip line at 1-800-522-8017 or tips@osbi.ok.gov
