That's the problem with tourist towns, whole lotta shady all around.

I guess many people have never looked for something outside. I've been in many situations where a group of us were looking for something outside. Several people passed the object and looked right at it before one person saw it. There's absolutely nothing suspicious about people passing over the bank card without having noticed it.

Prob had his bank card in his pocket, he was drunk, injured, and most probably wandered off into the water.

He was trying to type "good lolz" and it came out "good lops". Can't believe no one called the police or tried to help him at least a little when they saw him falling down in the street like that. He's just a young kid- not even very intimidating looking despite his height. His face was probably bleeding after that fall, and who knows how serious the head injury might have been.

The layout of the bar makes it very easy for anyone to have access to your drink if you set it on the table because the table is behind you if you face the stage. Thank God he had buddies with him to get him back to hotel safely. He called his supervisor to let him know what happened because they do perform random drug tests and he didn't want to lose his job.

Someone came back and dumped the card after it was searched.

@@chartmann43 Of course not, and @TheSingingGardener made no indication of that. The point is, Riley was likely not drugged in the bar because he arrived drunk. I know enough teens to know that is the S.O.P. on vacation: buy booze locally and drink it at the hotel first to save money, then go out buzzed.

Its easy to "sober up" when around police. I know because my dad was an alcoholic and I watched him do a DUI checkpoint fully drunk. He literally passed the test they do making people walk one foot in front of the other in a line to judge if they're inebriated.

@madeinart13 Exactly. You don't go from falling down drunk, slurring, stumbling to walking and talking just fine in 20 mins. A body does not process alcohol that quickly, and in regards to another comment above, I highly doubt at 22 he was a professional drunk able to pull that off. I'd seen one comment mention a mental health episode, which is possible. But that makes me think more of some kind of drug was used, a short acting one or something like LSD where you could be hallucinating one minute and calmed down the next. I'm not too familiar with the types of drugs used to put in people's drinks, but it seems those generally cause people to pass out. The whole story is rather bizarre and made out to be more so with bits of information given out(understandably) and so many questions. Did he carry a wallet? If so, why was the card not in the wallet when it was found? That would likely point to a robbery scenario, or pick pocket. Were the guys bar hopping? If not, why was this kid that falling down drunk after 1 drink-yeah possible but to that extent, don't think so. Were they doing drugs before/during their night out?

I'm sorry but I might just be old school but as a female we all knew to stick together.. If one had to go we would all go.. and we all got one round of drinks and made sure we saw the drinks being mixed as well as never to put our drinks down.. Lastly fraternities and sororities are just 'friends you buy' to find a group to fit in and identify with in college... I went to college and got my work done the people I went to party were friends but like family... It's not possible that his friends let him go like that, people on the streets and the community watched him struggle, and even a COP!! no one could have helped this poor guy!

Unfortunately, things like this happen all the time. There have been several incidents over the last few years here in Portland, Maine where young guys have left bars intoxicated and were later found in the water. The truth is probably much less sensational than this and you all suggest. More than likely, he probably stumbled over the bank, hit his head, went into the water, drowned, and floated down the river. He probably has since sunk and will float up in a little while.

Not knowing the area, he may have gone down to the river not knowing how steep it was and possibly fell in.

Im really sad about this child, betrayed by so many that could have prevented whatever has happened to Riley. I have no words that can describe what i think of all who were present at the time this child stumbled into the night and disappeared. 😢😢.Tho its not a bigger tragedy than any other , ut just dtrikrs me as do so preventable.😢😢

I’ve never really understood why this is so. Maybe it has to do with their particular story that makes some missing people get more attention than other’s. 🤷‍♀️

I believe this happens so much that the police don’t want to get involved. They would not make him a missing person because on the videos there was no foul play. Let’s look at the videos inside the bar. The public that feels so bad for this boy and his family have done way more than the police. There is something wrong with that.

What about his"so-called" buddies, instead of making sure he was ok, they were too interested in going back and having a "good"time to be bothered with following up on their friend. They didn't even check on him or notice him missing til the next afternoon, probably when they were getting ready to check out of the hotel (just my guess). So they carry a lot of responsibility for what has happened as far as I am concerned.

I'm from Nashville. I know the area. There are steep embankments alongside the river on that side of Gay Street. I suspect Riley thought he could take a shortcut and rolled down the embankment in the dark, losing his bankcard along the way that was likely in his back pocket. Then the currents swept him away. Very sad.

How odd is it to magically find the atm card that way...Was it odd that they just happened to be filming when they magically found it? Was it used after he left.. was his phone used after he left?

Maybe he meant: Good. Lost. Like he was trying to say he was lost.
