The body of a 4-year-old boy from Oklahoma who went missing in McIntosh County on Monday was recovered by divers in Lake Eufaula after a search that lasted over 24 hours, authorities said.
Tuesday night, the McIntosh County Sheriff’s Department provided an update in the search for Zaiven Wyatt Houk, a non-verbal boy who went missing from his family home near Emerald Bay, west of Checotah. He was last seen wearing only a blue and white diaper.
“Zaiven has been located. Unfortunately, it is with great regret that we have to inform everyone that it did not turn out the way we hoped for,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
