The search for Craig Strickland has ended. His body has been found, and unlike what many people would expect from the family members of a person lost in a tragic accident…his wife, is speaking out in thankfulness.
According to a press release from Lt. Kera Philippi of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the department had “made recovery of the body of Craig M. Strickland this morning.”
Strickland was originally reported as missing on December 27, 2015 after he and a friend, Chase R. Morland were on a duck hunt in Oklahoma. They were hunting in the midst of Winter Storm Goliath.
