Four bodies were found and recovered from a river in Oklahoma Friday amid a search for four men who were reported missing earlier this week.
The bodies were found after"suspicious items" were reported in the Deep Fork River, southwest of the city of Okmulgee, Police Chief Joe Prentice said Friday. Responding officers found"multiple human remains," and four bodies were later recovered from the river.
The bodies had not been identified as of late Friday. They were being taken to the medical examiner's office in Tulsa for autopsy and official identification, Prentice said in a Facebook post.
They visited a salvage yard west of Okmulgee before stopping at a station, KOTV reported. They then went to a different salvage yard, which is where Mark Chastain's phone died or turned off."All of the information that we had up to this point indicated that our missing men — based on telephone data — had gone east leaving town and then ultimately south on 75. This is in the opposite direction," he said.
