Authorities in Tennessee are searching for Riley Strain, a 22-year-old college student who disappeared after leaving a bar in downtown Nashville. Strain, a student at the University of Missouri, was visiting Nashville when he was ejected from Luke’s 32 Bridge, a popular establishment owned by country singer Luke Bryan. Despite efforts by friends, family, and police, Strain’s whereabouts remain unknown, prompting a plea for information from the public.
After leaving the bar, Strain had a brief encounter with a police officer, which was captured in bodycam footage released by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. The video showed Strain exchanging greetings with Officer Reginald Young before disappearing from view. Search efforts, including helicopter surveillance and ground searches, have been conducted in the area where Strain was last seen. His bank card was found near the Cumberland River, adding another layer of mystery to his disappearance.
As the search continues, both the University of Missouri and Nashville authorities are working closely with Strain’s family to gather any information that might lead to his safe return. The Tennessee Alcohol and Beverage Commission has also launched an investigation into the incident, raising questions about the responsibility of businesses in handling intoxicated patrons. Strain’s loved ones expressed concern and hope for his safe return, highlighting the urgency of the situation and the need for cooperation in finding him.
