Skeletal remains found in Oklahoma lake identified as siblings missing since 2022

Outdoorsman Eddie Carper was fishing on Pine Creek Lake in southeastern Oklahoma in October despite the dangerously low water levels when he hit what he at first thought was an old boat trailer. "It is barely visible just under the surface. It might be an old flatbed truck. I couldn’t tell for sure but it has an axle & 2 wheels. Found it with my trolling motor today. A $3,200 ... mistake!" he posted on Facebook Oct. 14. Turns out it actually was a van that was submerged just off a boat ramp. Inside were the skeletal remains of a brother and sister who went missing in 2022. "I ran into it with my boat," Carper, who lives in Valliant, told The Oklahoman. "I reported it. ... I'm just glad we found them and their kin gets closure." The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation disclosed on Thursday, Nov. 5, that the skeletal remains have been identified as Timothy Woodman and his sister, Terry Woodman. Both were living in 2022 in Wright City, records show. The small town in McCurtain County is about a 30-minute drive from where their remains were found. "Both individuals were reported missing in September of 2022

Is it legal to ride in a truck bed in Oklahoma? What the law says

In some of the biggest summer movies, you'll likely see friends kicking back in the truck bed, catching the open, unsheilded wind as the driver rolls down the road. Luckily in Oklahoma, you can live that fantasy. Laws in Oklahoma and Oklahoma City protect passengers' right to travel in the bed of a truck, but not all can feel this thrill. Here's what state and local law says about traveling in the bed of a pickup truck. Is it legal to ride in the back of a pickup truck? Neither Oklahoma state law nor OKC city ordinance restricts the ability of adult passengers to be in the bed of a pickup truck, even when it's on the highway. There are 21 states that don't have a law against pickup trucks, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety , including Oklahoma. Other states have some restrictions on what age people can be when they ride in the truck bed, like Texas, which only allows individuals 18 and older. Riding in the truck bed still comes with dangers. While riding in the truck bed is legal, passengers should still practice safe travel to prevent any unwanted injuries. Oklahoma also prohibits reckless

'The One,' starring Martin Sheen, brings Oklahoma Christmas story to the big screen

For Primetime Emmy-winning actor Martin Sheen , it was worth braving the kind of cold weather that "goes right to the bones" to travel to Oklahoma and film the inspirational Christmas movie "The One." "The first impression ... when I came on the set, I looked around, and I was the oldest guy in the universe. I couldn't even find anyone in the neighborhood as old as I was," Sheen, 86, said during a break in filming at One Set Studio in Oklahoma City. "I was amazed at how young the crews were — and how skilled they were in all these different departments. That was a revelation. I had no idea. You know, when I started, I was always the youngest guy." "The might of the theme" and the chance to play a "very disarming character" named Jefferson were vital in enticing the Golden Globe winner to make his first movie in the Sooner State. "He was very sweet, and I didn't have to kill anyone or beat anyone up or curse or do anything vulgar. That's always a plus in the movies these days," Sheen said, chuckling. "I liked that it would have, hopefully, a positive effect." 'The
