Fox News reported that authorities had been searching for Strickland in the areas of Kaw Lake, which extends into Kansas.
Strickland’s friend Chase Morland was found dead on Monday, as previously reported. According to a statement from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Morland’s body was recovered in a lake where their boat capsized.
Severe weather conditions, including additional storms and flooding have hindered the search and rescue mission. Kay County Sheriff Everette VanHoesen explained that this storm, especially for those on Kaw Lake, took many by surprise.
"It's a big lake, and when we have high winds, the lake will get whitecapped; the waves get pretty big. I understand these men were avid hunters. They knew what they were doing, but sometimes the size of our lake really tricks them," said VanHoesen.
Strickland is the lead singer of the country-rock band Backroad Anthem, most known for their singles, "Say It To You" and "Back to Your Roots."
