Authorities say a father and his two young sons drowned in a river in far southeast Oklahoma over the weekend.
Law enforcement officers say the family's boat overturned on a fishing trip on the Little River south of Idabel.
Authorities recovered 32-year-old Steven Lycklama's body Sunday afternoon and the body of his oldest son, Devin, age 8, was recovered Monday morning. The man's 4-year-old son, Dalton, is still missing and presumed drowned.
The father's body was found about 3:30 p.m., but troopers didn't know there were two children with him until a family member notified them about four hours later.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says the children were not wearing life jackets.
The family was from Valliant, Oklahoma.
