Missing Republican Oklahoma Senate Candidate, 54, Found Dead in Rural Area
The body of a missing Republican Senate candidate was found inside a truck in rural Oklahoma, according to authorities and reports.
Barry Christian, a 54-year-old candidate for District 38 in western Oklahoma, was discovered dead on Thursday after he mysteriously vanished just two days prior, his campaign said in a news release obtained by KOCO.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation confirmed to the outlet that Christian’s 2024 charcoal gray Ram truck was found just off Highway 30, south of Erick, with a body inside.

The truck was located by a ravine near the Sandy Sanders Wildlife Management Area. Because of where the vehicle is located, officials are unable to remove his body, delaying identification, the outlet reported.
A large campaign sign for Christian, however, was photographed eerily tossed onto the prairie land as authorities scoured the area. (Read more from “Missing Republican Oklahoma Senate Candidate, 54, Found Dead in Rural Area” HERE)
