Search continues for missing Missouri student Riley Strain

Police in Nashville, Tennessee, are searching for a missing Missouri student who was kicked out of a bar on Friday night. Riley Strain’s parents say that he was kicked out of that bar Friday night, but he was in Nashville for a conference with his fraternity brothers from Delta Chi at Mizzou. During that time, he stated that he had been kicked out of the bar and informed his friends that he was on his way back to his hotel.

Now, today, the University of Missouri says that the events Riley was attending were not affiliated with the university. Mizzou is now offering counseling resources on campus, and university officials have been in touch with the family and police in Nashville.

Now, the university says that Strain was in Nashville with his fraternity brothers, but it was not an event affiliated with the university. Strain’s mom wants everyone to know that he’s hard to miss because he’s 6 feet 5 inches tall, he has blonde hair and blue eyes, and he’s 22 years old. Anyone with information here at the university is being asked to contact the police, who are then working with Nashville police to solve this case.

Police released Riley Strain’s bodycam video

On Monday, March 18, the Nashville Police released Riley Strain’s bodycam video, which shows that Riley briefly spoke with a police officer during the night.

Around 9:50 p.m., Strain walked by alone. The officer asked how he was doing, and Strain responded, “I’m good. How are you?”

Police said on Monday, “No video has been discovered that shows Riley away from Gay St. after the 9:52 p.m. timeframe.”

Riley Strain Bank Card Found Near Nashville River

The Metro Nashville Police Department released that Riley Strain bank card was found near Gay Street and the Cumberland River. This location is the same area Strain’s phone was last pinged to, and it was also where surveillance captured Strain walking the night he disappeared. The card was found by a group of searchers after the discovery. Strain’s family has confirmed they had that card, and there had been no activity on the card. The family says they’re hoping the new lead uncovers more about his disappearance soon. The Nashville police are investigating the area where the card was found. The family says this new lead can determine if Strain’s case will continue to be investigated as a missing person case or as a crime in Springfield.
