OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA: Jessica Chastain, wife of one of the four men missing since October 9, said it was quite common of her husband, Mark Chastain, 32, his brother Billy Chastain, 30, and his friends Mike Sparks, 32, and Alex Stevens, 29, to go on bike rides.
While speaking to Fox News Digital, Jessica said, “I know nothing, and I’m feeling lost. I’m heartbroken. I’m sad. I have so many mixed emotions and thoughts,” adding, “As far as I know, nothing has been recovered. Nothing has been found. There is no sign of foul play.”

As per the outlet, Mark was supposed to watch their two children on Monday morning, October 10, when she started a new job. Jessica said her husband's phone pinged last around 5:24 pm Sunday, October 9. All she wants is to "bring them home."
According to the authorities, the men were not seen ever since they left one of their homes with bicycles in the city of Okmulgee around 8 pm. Someone claimed seeing the missing men walking on a street around 2 am on Tuesday, October 11 but the police were unable to verify that report.
Other reported sightings during the week. According to the police, a sighting of Steven was reported at the Smoke Shop on the south side of Okmulgee on October 9 around 4 pm. He was reportedly by himself. A sighting of the Chastain brothers were reported to have occurred on Monday, October 10 by a passerby near the YMCA. None of the reports have led to fruitful results.
Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice told Fox 23 that they were searching a salvage yard where the cell phone of Mark Chastain’s was last located. As per the authorites, only two of the men had their mobiles with them when they went out, which go straight to voicemail.
Joe said, “The longer they’re missing, the more concerned I am but I have yet to find any evidence that there’s any foul play involved."
The police department said in a Facebook post, "This evening and tomorrow we will begin the long and tedious process of sifting through the hours of video as well as the GPS data," adding, "We will continue to investigate and are following any evidence we uncover."
