Father and Son Vanish While Kayaking on Spring Break Trip in Arkansas: 'Such a Tragic Situation'
GoFundMe Chuck and Charley Morris
A father and son remain missing after going kayaking together in Arkansas last week while on a spring break trip.
Chuck Morris, a 47-year-old percussionist for Colorado jam band Lotus, and his 20-year-old son Charley were reported missing on Thursday after they went kayaking on Beaver Lake and failed to return, according to ABC affiliate KHBS.
They were last seen at 11:00 a.m. that morning when leaving the Lost Bridge area of the lake, reported CBS affiliate KCTV.
A family friend told ABC affiliate KHBS the pair, who are from Kansas City, Mo., were in Arkansas for a family vacation during spring break.
The band, which formed in 1999, had recently finished a tour, per the outlet.
So far, authorities have been able to recover both kayaks as well as a life jacket, but the father and son have yet to be found, according to KHBS.
A spokesperson for the Benton County Sheriff's Office told the outlet the search, which is now being considered a recovery mission, has been difficult due to cold temperatures and high winds in the area.
The Benton County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
