Charlie was an acclaimed percussionist with Lotus, helping kickstart the band's success in Philadelphia after graduating from Goshen College.According to Chuck's bandmate Jesse Miller, Lotus had just finished a 25-city tour. Charlie was home for vacation, and the family decided to travel from Kansas City to Beaver Lake, Arkansas to unwind.

My husband being the adventurer that he is, we're like, 'oh, they must be having a great time,'" she said.Jennifer Thompson On the first night, they recovered a kayak, and the next day another, Thompson said. They later found Chuck's hat and his coat, but other than those traces, the two men disappeared.
