I wish I could have been there that night, I would have made sure he made it back to his Hotel safely. I feel bad for Riley that he was all alone in that condition in a strange city in the dark. It really breaks my heart. I hope he is found yesterday! Or last week!, but sadly I'm very concerned. Especially after his debit card was found down that steep bank before the river. I hope he's not suffering and that he feels everyone's love and urgency to bring him home with his family, where ever he is❤

Makes me think back to my college days - lots of drinking starting on Thursday nights through Saturday. NO DRUGS. Never a problem with any of my group, no dwi’s, no accidents, nothing - and believe me, we could get pretty plastered. We were too intoxicated to even tell how intoxicated other people were - making me think Riley’s frat brothers may have been in the same condition. I cringe when I think back about those nights - but it was a different time. - and in what is now one of the most murderous crime ridden cities in the world. I can’t believe how lucky we were. (Oh - and one time I actually got stopped by the police - and one drove my car home while the other officer drove me home. It still boggles my mind that happened). I feel so bad for this Riley and his family. It could have been me or any one of us who have partied.

All I can think is that he either accidentally fell in the river, got himself locked in something that he can't get out of, or was intentionally harmed or taken. I thought he might have walked the wrong way from the hotel because he was angry or hurt by what happened, not just because he was too drunk or confused, that's why I think maybe he could've went into something or somewhere to sleep it off like maybe a storage unit, a boiler room in a facility, a trailer, anything someone might lock from the outside. I remember passing out in some room when I was a teenager (maybe a boiler room) that was in the laundry room of an apartment complex just cause it was warm and I couldn't get home (I put something in the door so it wouldn't close all the way or I could've been locked in there for days or more). Anyway, praying they find him.

This is so horrific. The video of him he looks like he was very drunk. Stumbling all over! Regardless, I pray he comes home safe.

Like no joke every running accident including when I got hit by a car running a red light was assumed to be a drinking accident. Calling me a stupid drunk college kid for assuming the car would stop at the red light or for getting tangled in some trash on the sidewalk or breaking my ankle on a small bottle. In this case, we see the kid fall and potentially hit his head. Was he drunk or was it the hit to the head? Idk and that does affect things as people act differently when drunk vs hurt. He doesn’t seem wasted to me as while I don’t drink I’ve seen my friends get wasted enough and I can tell when someone is still doing alright (At least better than an actual medical professional).

So sad, and unfortunate, like you said.

There's a clip of a police officer speaking to him and he looked okay at that time.

Why are they only talking about half of what the witnesses said happened? I get that it’s all second and third hand info, but taking about the parts that you don’t want in there isn’t going to help. I really don’t think protecting the frat brothers helps either, especially with the new development where the witnesses said Riley was talking on speaker to at least two people when the woman asked him if he planned on driving when he told her no, he also said he can’t even walk straight and proceeded straight as he was being told by the people he was on speaker phone with. They were telling him to keep going straight according to the witness. She also said as they were getting in to their car, they witnessed Riley throw up, which corroborates other witnesses statements. So why leave that all out and say that Riley only said no ma’am??! As a parent I understand looking at these boys as kids, my daughter is 21 graduating college like Riley in 2 months.

It seems like from How he was stumbling and how when he was running and fell. He was down for a minute atleast it looked like. Did he hit his head? No way he was that drunk off of one drink. I was drugged at a bar in my 20’s took one shot and blacked out. It’s possible someone put something in drink. And then he had no idea what was going on. I have no memory of the night it happened to me. It seems like he could of slipped into the water, there is a current there. He could of got stuck on the current and under the water.

Police are not going to open up and tell a family every single detail they have about an open case, because of the chance of it eventually turning into a criminal trial for kidnapping or murder. If things do end up in a criminal trial, the defense will be looking at past news reports for anything they can use to have jurors disqualified or evidence thrown out, based on the information that was made public knowledge at some point before the trial. I knew someone who was murdered in Nashville, and the murderer eventually accepted a plea bargain for 45 years in prison with no option for parole, in part because the widow was asked to not openly talk about what information the police gave her, and she and her family refused to give reporters anything more than a short written statement asking for privacy and thanking everyone for their prayers and concern, and thanking the police and the concerned citizen that called the police to report having seen someone that matched the murderer's description, which led to the arrest being made. The Nashville reporters put the widow through hell, because they made it clear that they thought "no" meant "come back tomorrow to see if I have changed my mind about doing that interview".

I think he meant Riley was being nice in just leaving the bar quickly and letting his frat brothers continue, and not making a fuss by asking one of them to leave. Also if you make a left out of the hotel it is straight to the hotel, a 4 minute walk, so “go straight” is correct. Look at google maps Luke’s 32 Brudge to Temple hotel. It’s one left then straight.

He more than likely he was served more than one drink at the bar! Just because his credit card did not have more than one drink on it, does not mean others did not buy drinks and share them, as often people will buy rounds of drinks to share.

It's a shame to continue with "PR" interviews with absolutely nothing to report😞! If this is beyond the range of their expertise, please request the proper assistance from a competent agency/department🙏.

Did he really not have any GPS enabled on his phone? His phone might have picked up the WIFI of houses or bars in the area to track his route

So he was trying to do something nice for someone, yet no one can say what that good gesture was, but the good gesture got him kicked out? Yeah make that make sense

So people saw Riley and spoke to him but no one thought hey let's give this guy a ride home. The couple said "you are not driving are you?" So this couple could clearly see Riley was intoxicated. Why didn't the police officer or other people give him a ride home? 🤔

@charliadams someone gave him a ride home

How convient, traffixing holding ring at Tempo next to Sheriff office, how many of us would trust a sheriff, AND so many go missing! Why did they not release that last video, he made it to the 2nd bridge(Tempo building right next to Sheriff office)

It that is true, wouldn’t the bar also ask whomever Riley was helping to leave?

Not necessarily. For example, if the person he was trying to help was a woman in her twenties, and the bar staff suspected he was causing trouble by making unwanted advances on her, they would likely ask him to leave, then maybe ask her if she needed any help in avoiding him when she eventually decided to leave. But it seems that nobody has explained exactly what the circumstances were that led to him being asked to leave.

Maybe when he saw the cop it was after he threw up so was feeling better. But then the guy with his shirt said he saw Riley fall hard into a bush and was going to see if he was ok but there was someone else over there that said he's ok..just really drunk. Guy said he heard commotion. What? Was this a fight due to Riley being robbed & beaten?

Ok, I’m not electronically savvy, but if Riley’s phone ran out of battery on its own, does that mean that it’s not in the water? I would think that if it got wet it wouldn’t have had a signal at all. Anyone out there know about this stuff?

@@michahjones6517 Signals don't get through water very well. Put a transmitter into a waterproof container and drop it into water, and you will lose the signal. How deep the water has to be to block the signal apparently varies with the frequency, but that river is deep enough that the frequency wouldn't matter.

Let’s not “assume,” let it be investigated, bc there’s a major difference between being spiked and drunk.

Bars have staff that keep things under control, because people that have been drinking can get very rowdy with little warning. If they think things are in danger of getting out of hand, they will tell the people that they think are causing the problem to leave. Refusing to leave or arguing with them about it only reinforces their opinion that you are the one causing trouble, and they can then file trespassing charges against you, if they choose to, for not complying with their request to leave. Might not be fair, but it doesn't have to be, because the bar has to deal with liability insurance and multiple government agencies regulating them, and they would rather have a few customers angry and saying they will never come there again, than be forced to close by their insurance being cancelled or their license being revoked.

Why didn't those people help him? We all have to look out for one another these days. Wish they had called him an Uber. I just hoped he was not trafficked. Heartbreaking for all the people being harmed these days.

So he was trying to help somebody, but there was a miscommunication and he was asked to leave. I'm sure if that had happened his fraternity brothers would've mentioned it and recorded it on their cell phones and perhaps the bar could show the surveillance of this incident of Riley helping somebody and the timeline of the miscommunication unfolding from that night. Riley Strain was looking back while running from someone so did the person who he had a miscommunication with leave the bar and follow him out after he was escorted out? Maybe if the person he was trying to help stepped up and said what happened and gave a description of who the other person might be then they could check the surveillance to see if that person matching the description had left near the time he was escorted out to see if he was being followed and chased to see if the miscommunication had escalated and led to something more.

It was reported last week that the bar had already turned their security video over to the investigators, along with providing them anything else that was asked for. The only public statement I have seen from the bar, is that he violated the bar's rules on conduct and was asked to leave, with (if my memory isn't off) a staff member escorting him to the front door and one of the other members of his fraternity following along as far as the door, before that fraternity member went back to the rest of the group inside the bar.

Why havent they questioned the police officer that was last to talk and see him.something is not being said

Why is a family friend giving statement? Is he the family's spokesperson?

Other members of his fraternity were in the bar with him. He apparently wasn't alone until he was asked to leave the bar and the other fraternity members stayed in the bar. According to earlier reports in Nashville news, police were not informed that anything was wrong, until the middle of the next day when the other members of his fraternity reported him missing, after they couldn't find him at their hotel.

Why was he running that time?

The bar can say anything they want, but the bar and Riley's friends could have prevented this tragedy.

He purchased only one drink. He may have had some drinks purchased by others.

He walked right to that river. What are the odds of getting lost and walking down toward those banks. He answered the couples questions he spoke with the cop which means he was some what coherent. So how cld he not tell he has walked far away from ppl even walking near him and far away from downtown. From Missouri or not it's as if the river was his destination. He went straight there. No zigzags no walking in circles he walks straight to that river. This is so sad.

Too many young adults go missing! Frightening. And it's in every state.😢

He was just 22 & found on the 22nd..

What don’t they question the friends. They m kw exact,y what they all drank or took prior to starting the bar hopping‼️‼️‼️‼️

Sad that police have not been forthcoming to the family when they find information. It also seems as though the fraternity boys and any leads they could provide are being shielded from the family and media. Don't think this will end well.

Hss anyone looked into the big pipes connected to the bridge? This is where OEM is parked. Please someone look inside the huge pipes.

where are those friends. i think they should be questioned and go to jail. why leave your friends

Pretty obvious what happened to him. 1. He walks to the bridge rail to puke over it. 2. While puking, he drops his phone in the river. 3. He removes his shirt and sets it on the rail so he can go in the water to retrieve his phone. 4. The river sweeps him away, and he drowns. 5. Homeless man finds his shirt in the railing where he left it, unaware that Riley had drowned recently.

Unfortunately, the young man's body was found in the river RIP Riley 🙏

It was reported last week that his phone quit providing a signal on the night he disappeared, and that the last location it showed was around Gay Street, near the Woodland Street bridge and James Robertson Pkwy bridge. The last video showing where he was, that has been released, showed him walking north on Gay Street, maybe a couple hundred yards south of where his phone quit providing a signal. A hammer or a fist-sized rock is all that is needed to disable any tracking device you think might be in a phone. Tossing it in a deep river can also cut off the signal, even if the phone is waterproof, and Gay Street runs along the bank of a river that is deep enough to get a lot of heavy barge traffic.

It was reported that they called the police to report him missing around the middle of the next day, after they woke up and couldn't find him at the hotel. Some people have complained about how much time it took for the police to start doing anything, but the group he was with apparently didn't attempt to notify police for some time, and there was at least one local news report indicating that they initially called the department that runs the jail and were told by that department who to contact to report a missing person.

You cant be that messed up on your own in public. You just cant. The chance of an accident or becoming someones prey are exponentially higher. As a woman, I've never chanced that. It could be he got drugged & didn't realize because of it the condition he was in.

Yep. They are brushing everything under the rug here. If he was a woman that was at a bar with a group of men, had one drink, stumbling around in the streets, bank card on river bed, shirt found on a homeless person and body found in river, they would be looking for a suspect right now.

They went to 2 bars before Lukes... Mirandas and Garths Bars.

My heart breaks. I believe Occams razor will point to an incident at the river, whether accidental or not.

Very odd that the police are hard to get through to and are not keeping the public up to date on this. We are depending on you and a few other podcasts to let us know

Get. Dogs. Bugler. Cop. Area. Now. Riley. Sent. Get. Dogs. Now. There.
