After a lengthy search, Oklahoma Highway Patrolofficials have confirmed that the body of missing country music singer Craig Strickland has been recovered.

Strickland, 29, lead singer of Backroad Anthem, was reported missing Dec. 27 while on a duck hunting trip on Kaw Lake, north of Tulsa, with his friend, Chase Morland.

Severe weather struck, and a search party later found their boat capsized.

Troopers recovered Morland's body from the lake last week. Strickland's wife, former Miss Arkansas Helen Strickland, then tweeted that her husband's black Labrador, Sam (with them on the trip), was found alive.

Helen confirmed news of her husband's death on Twitter Monday. "#CraigStrickland was found today. He is safe with his Father in Heaven. Thank you Lord for leading us to him today. I will praise you, Amen," she wrote.
