Kaw Lake Search Stops Again As Sun Sets; Craig Strickland Still Missing

The search at a northern Oklahoma lake for a missing country music singer from Arkansas has been suspended for the night.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says it called off the search for 29-year-old Craig Strickland because of darkness.

The patrol said it used rescue dogs and boats in the search on the north end of Kaw Lake, south of the Oklahoma-Kansas state line.

Strickland is the lead singer of the Arkansas-based country-rock band Backroad Anthem. He disappeared during severe storms last Sunday while on a duck hunting trip with friend Chase Morland.

The pair's capsized boat was found that day. Morland's body was recovered from the lake Monday.

Strickland is an Oklahoma native. Sunday will mark Day 8 in the search..
