Divers, dogs, and boat crews with sonar kept searching Tuesday on Beaver Lake in Arkansas for missing Colorado musician Chuck Morris, a percussionist for the band Lotus, and his son Charley, authorities in Arkansas said.
Benton County’s recovery team also deployed aircraft and K-9 dogs as they scanned the lake, which reaches depths up to 200 feet, said Lt. Shannon Jenkins, spokeswoman for the Benton County Sheriff’s Department.
Morris, 47, and his 20-year-old son went kayaking Thursday and did not return.
Searchers last week found two kayaks and a coat on the lake.
“There was a storm on Thursday when they went out. It was a pretty good storm that came in, with winds,” Jenkins said. The gusts reached speeds up to 40 miles per hour, she said.
“We were all hoping for a miracle, but at this point, the search for Chuck & Charley has moved to a recovery,” the band Lotus tweeted Tuesday morning.
We were all hoping for a miracle, but at this point, the search for Chuck & Charley has moved to a recovery. With help from K9 teams, there is a probable location on the lake, but logistical challenges including temp, weather, and depth have prevented a recovery thus far. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/EZ9Z24pcQx

Lotus began in 1999 and in 2021 opened Colorado’s Red Rocks concert season with Morris playing the drums.
