The patrol says its Marine Enforcement Division recovered
the body of 29-year-old Craig M. Strickland Monday morning in Kaw Lake, located
8 miles east of Ponca City just south of the Oklahoma-Kansas state line.

Strickland and a friend, Chase R. Morland, were reported
missing on Dec. 27 during a duck hunting trip on the Kay County lake. The
pair’s capsized boat was found the same day. Morland’s body was recovered from
the lake a day later.
