An Oklahoma state Senate candidate who had been missing for two days has been found dead inside of his truck, just off a rural highway. The body of Barry Christian, 54, was discovered in a wildlife area near the border of Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle, ABC affiliate KOCO News reported Thursday.
Aerial photographs taken by the TV station show investigators at the scene where the body was discovered. A large sign from Christian’s GOP campaign lay nearby.
Christian’s daughter, Brooklyn, told KOCO News that the family’s world is “upside down.”
“We are still not sure of everything that happened, so please act with grace and treat my dad’s legacy with dignity,” Brooklyn said in the statement.
The body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, who will determine the cause and manner of his death.
