The bodies of four men were pulled from the waters of an Oklahoma river amid authorities’ search for a group of friends, who vanished during a bike ride nearly a week ago.
Authorities have been searching for Mark Chastain, 32, Billy Chastain, 30, Mike Sparks, 32, and Alex Stevens, 29 since Sunday, when they were last seen alive. The group at the time was leaving Billy Chastain’s home with their bikes, but they never returned and were all reported missing a short time later.
Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice said authorities have not yet confirmed the identities of the remains pulled from Deep Fork River Friday night. He told reporters police had not initially searched the region, given the information they’d collected pointed toward the men leaving town and then traveling south on U.S. Highway 75.
