The body of a Republican Oklahoma<\/a> state Senate<\/a> candidate reported missing earlier this week has been discovered inside a truck parked in a rural area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Barry Christian, a 54-year-old Senate candidate from Sayre, mysteriously vanished Tuesday and was found dead two days later, his campaign said in a statement obtained by<\/u><\/a> KOCO.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation confirmed to the outlet that Christian\u2019s gray Ram truck was discovered near Highway 30 with a body inside.<\/p>\n

Due to the truck\u2019s location by a ravine near the Sandy Sanders Wildlife Management Area, the recovery of the vehicle and body was reportedly delayed<\/a>, initially stalling identification of the remains.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials are still working to determine Christian\u2019s cause of the death. The OSBI did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Christian was reported missing on Tuesday after he failed to attend a scheduled meeting, and was last seen driving the same truck found by officials, according to the Harmon County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Christian\u2019s campaign site described the District 38 candidate as the “conservative choice” for Senate, vowing to “proudly stand with President Trump” and “fight for the traditional conservative values<\/a> that make America great” if elected into office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement to the outlet, Christian\u2019s daughter, Brooklyn, expressed her devastation after receiving the news of her father\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

“Please pray for our family and friends. Our world is upside down right now. We are still not sure of everything that happened, so please act with grace and treat my dad’s legacy with dignity,” Brooklyn reportedly said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are extremely grateful to everyone who assisted in the search efforts, and all of the media outlets that shared his information. I know there will be lots of people devastated by his passing.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
