He said he was going back to the hotel and I can see nobody else wanting to call it a night at 930pm, remember these are a bunch of college kids in a big city looking to party. I don't wanna put it bluntly but it sounds that intellectually he was a child in a man's body. I dont think he's ever had much if any experience with alcohol and the one drink probably got him drunk unless someone in his party or a few of them thought it would be funny if they spiked the drink with sumthing to get him really messed up.

absolutely agree, but one friend was leaving with him and got stuck paying the tab and when he finished, Riley was gone. That friend must be feeling so much guilt because it seemed like he was actually going to be looking after Riley.

That was NOT the behavior of one drink. Somebody's lying. What bar ejects somebody after one drink?

People need to start taking care of their friends when they are out drinking. In my town a girl went missing after bar hopping years ago and was never found. Another girl got in a vehicle drunk thinking it was a cab - it wasn't - they found her body in another town. If you are a true friend, you will make sure your friends get home safely after a night out drinking. I pray that God helps Riley's family find him and that he is found safe.

My son was 15 yrs.old and a 29 yr.old man bought 151 Rum for my son and his 15 yr.old friend and my son tried to walk home after drinking that bottle of Rum and was hit by a truck and they left him in the ditch on the side of a 2 lane highway, thank God a doctor saw his legs sticking up out of the ditch and stopped to give aid he had the imprint of the trucks grill across his chest and stomach . when I got to the hospital the doctor told me that he had been hit by a truck and he showed me his chest and stomach! This is something you never want too happen to your child!!! My son is 39 yrs.old now and pleased to say he does not drink alcohol after what happened to him. And he said:" Mom,I can't believe alcohol is legal!" What it does to people can be deadly consequences . this kid Could have been hit by a car and thrown in the river or a dumpster.

They weren't allowed to leave until they paid their bar tab, which is normal procedure. By the time they got outside, Riley was gone.

This reminds me of a young man who disappeared while visiting Michigan State University for a football game weekend. After some drinking, he set out to go back to the dorm he was staying at. He disappeared and many were convinced he had met foul play. He didn’t know the area either and there was a river running thru the campus. They eventually found him in that river. He had been drinking, alone and did not know the area well and fell in the river. This case sounds so similar, unfortunately. My heart breaks for his family.

Then the cousin who is his best friend said this is way out of character and he doesn’t drink like this. 😢 and watching all the videos of this poor kid I knew he looked drugged and then injured from that bad fall hitting that concrete/pole. Unfortunately bad choices were made like his friend that walked out with him but then turned around and went back inside. One of His fraternity brothers could have put something in his drink thinking it would be funny to watch him make a fool of himself but it went terribly wrong.. who knows what happened except it was really bad.

This news article leaves several blanks to be filled in. 1) this bar only served him one drink, so he was elsewhere drinking since he was already drunk at Luke's. 2) Luke's security escorted him out because of conduct problems. No interest in knowing what conduct problems we are talking about. Suppose he exchanged words with someone in the bar and that person was following him after he got thrown out. 3) as the news guy says standing next to the river this is the last place where he was & the phone pinged, and it's as if he disappeared. That's because he fell in the river and the currents had 16 hours to move his body further along before his friends contacted police.

I'm curious everyone keeps saying he's drugged by someone well how did that happen I would like to know how he could've been drugged by someone and who is it and where and what I doubt that and One drink served doesn't seem believable maybe that's all they have on their record as being served to him ...that just makes no sense... this has been a complete nightmare and all a comedy of errors so to speak everyone has gotten this wrong from the moment they threw him out of that bar until the last phone ping I don't know why they will not get in the water and put divers in there they have not done that yet and why they waited 16 hours to call the police is beyond me and no one left with him from the bar the whole thing is a disaster it was just a total miscalculation on everyone's part including him

Those frat guys could've been bar-hopping in downtown Nashville all afternoon and evening. The bars down there are literally side by side for a couple of blocks. Luke Bryan's bar was the LAST one they went to, and it's no wonder they wouldn't serve him anymore in the shape he was in. You go to a bar at two in the afternoon, play a couple games of pool, drink a pitcher, then head over to the next one. Rinse and repeat for 7 hours, all within a 2 block range and no driving.

Maybe they were bar-hopping so in that case he probably had plenty of drinks before they went to Luke's

Reminds me of when I was in college. A bunch of us from the same dorm went to see Elvis Costello in concert on campus. It was General Admission so, being the idiots that we were, we parked ourselves at the front of the line, a day and a half early to make sure we'd be right up front. Everyone in the group drank except for me. I actually brought my calculus book and syllabus with me so I could kill time blasting ahead on my homework assignments. Thank God I didn't drink because on the night of the concert one of my girlfriends went to use a bathroom but by then she was wasted. I followed her from a distance because I genuinely worried. Sure enough, from a distance, I noticed that she drunkenly stumbled into the Men's Room, not the Ladies' Room. I knocked on the Men's Room door but nobody answered. So I yanked the door open quickly. My wasted friend was passed out, cold, on the floor, surrounded by a group of guys who were grinning like they were just served a delicious treat. Scum. I marched through the crowd of them and dragged my girlfriend the heck out of there. Our other friends and I got her back to the dorm safely. We ditched most of the Elvis Costello concert to make sure our girl was okay. We stayed with her and she sobered up with us. After that I never went to another concert on campus. I stuck with homework. I only wish Riley had loyal friends who cared about his welfare, like our friend Kim had. So sad.

With "friends" like his, he didn't need any enemies. So sad.
