Story highlights Country singer Craig Strickland, 29, is missing after an Oklahoma duck hunting trip

His friend Chase Morland, 22, has been found dead at Kaw Lake

Morland sent a tweet acknowledging a winter storm as the trip began

(CNN) As country singer Craig Strickland and his friend Chase Morland set off to hunt ducks during a winter storm in northern Oklahoma over the weekend, Morland sent what is, in retrospect, a haunting tweet.

"In case we don't come back, @BackroadCRAIG and I are going right through Winter Storm Goliath to kill ducks in Oklahoma. #IntoTheStorm," Morland tweeted late Saturday.

Days later, Morland is dead, and searchers are looking for Strickland in Oklahoma's Kaw Lake, where their boat purportedly overturned.

Strickland, a 29-year-old vocalist in the country rock band Backroad Anthem, and Morland, 22, were duck hunting at the lake Sunday, the Arkansas-based band said on its Facebook page , as a fierce winter weather system was hitting central portions of the country. A search was launched later that day after relatives didn't hear from them.

State troopers found Morland's body at the lake Monday morning, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said. Their boat also was found; nightfall Tuesday caused the search for Strickland to be called off until Wednesday morning.
