The four cyclists, who set off from their homes in Oklahoma last weekend, have since disappeared without a trace.
Police in Oklahoma have been conducting an investigation into the case of four men - Mark Chastain, 32, Billy Chastain, 30, Mike Sparks, 32, and Alex Stevens, 29 - who set off from Okmulgee, Oklahoma last Sunday morning on a bike ride and then never came back.

The circumstances surrounding their disappearance are particularly strange because it is highly unusual for four people to go missing at the same time.

"I can't make sense of the actual set of circumstances because it is so unusual," said police chief Mark Prentice.

"At this point, the evidence tells me I have four missing adults, I have no evidence there's any violence involved at this point, we always consider that a possibility in any missing persons case and we're not discounting that possibility, but not persons of interest."

Only two of the men were thought to be carrying phones and police are currently investigating a salvage yard at which Mark Chastain's phone was last pinged before it went silent.

It is believed that the men had visited two salvage yards and had also stopped off at a gas station.

Officers are currently sifting through GPS data and CCTV footage in their hunt for clues.
"I know nothing, and I'm feeling lost," said Mark's wife Jessica.

"I'm heartbroken. I'm sad. I have so many mixed emotions and thoughts."

Update:

According to new reports, the unidentified remains of four individuals were discovered in a river in Okmulgee on Friday.

It will take some time to recover and identify the bodies.

If these are the missing men, how did all four of them end up dead in a river ?

What could have possibly happened to them ?

The search for answers continues.
