The search enters into day 6 for the missing college student, Riley Strain, who was last seen on surveillance footage in Nashville, Tennessee.

 

University of Missouri student, Riley Strain, 22, was in Nashville, Tennessee for a fraternity formal with his Delta Chi fraternity brothers Friday night when he got kicked out of Luke Bryan's bar on Broadway.

Strain's fraternity brothers were separated from Riley when he was kicked out of the bar and he disappeared into the crowd of downtown Nashville before they could find him.

Metro Police reported that Strain left Luke Bryan’s bar, Luke’s 32 Bridge, around 9:40 p.m. where the bar shared surveillance video of Strain with investigators.

The Ole Red bar across Broadway also provided video of Strain crossing the street onto Third Avenue and further walking up the block.

Surveillance video from the Escape Game room off Third Avenue shows Strain walking in front of the business along with other security video showing Strain running and crashing into a pole off a Church Street parking lot.

On surveillance footage Strain can be seen stumbling up First Avenue heading towards Gay Street, near the river where appears to be holding his head likely from the fall.

Strain’s family who has come to Nashville to assist in looking for Riley reports that his phone last pinged near Public Square Park, at 9:58 p.m. where they tracked his cellphone location to Gay Street and James Robertson Parkway, which is very close to the cell tower where his phone last pinged.

Strain is described as 6-feet, 5-inches tall and 160 pounds, with blue eyes and blonde hair last seen wearing the 2-tone shirt seen in the released picture of him.

The search for Riley Strain continues to intensify this week as the Nashville Office of Emergency Management launched two boats and used sonar equipment late Wednesday in an attempt to locate Strain along the Cumberland River.

The Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission announced it will look into the circumstances leading up to Riley Strain's disappearance and whether Strain was overserved alcohol at Nashville bars the night he went missing.
