Bodies of men missing from Rocklahoma found

The discovery of Ben Babar and Cody Parrick was made at Lake Eufaula. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol confirmed divers found the two in their submerged minivan on the Onapa boat ramp Sunday night.

Babar and Parrick have been missing since not returning home from the Rocklahoma concert near Pryor, Oklahoma on Memorial Day weekend.

People in Okmulgee think the men may have been surprised after driving into water in dark conditions. "Maybe it just came in so fast they couldn't get out," one told us. Another wondered if the two fell asleep near the rising water and were overcome in their sleep. KRMG will continue to follow this story, check back often for more details.

KRMG has been in contact with the men's families but both were too upset to grant an interview.
