A missing Duncan attorney who disappeared after being charged with embezzlement has been found dead.
Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Jessica Brown says OSBI investigators found the body of Charles Barnes Wednesday morning near Washita Point at Lake Texoma.
Brown says Barnes had a single gunshot wound to the head and appears to have committed suicide.
The 57-year-old Barnes was charged Sept. 8 with embezzling $148,000 from the trust fund of a client's dead aunt.
He disappeared 10 days later from a home near Lake Texoma where he had been staying.
