It’s so unfortunate for this gorgeous young man, who reminds me so much of my 15 yo son, but I’m so glad she’s found the strength to fight for truth. I’ve said since day 1, he was roofied and potentially mugged, if not his frat brothers involvement. Definitely 💯% foul play involved. I’ve been roofied and kidnapped. I also said that the feeling of being roofied your mind can function properly, while your body on the other hand loses control. This explains his conversation with the officer. I would be demanding the time his frat brothers left the bars, demanding footage from the night inside the bar, etc. I also said once he’s found they’ll call it accidental and refuse to investigate properly. I get it, they have other obligations, but if it was their child their outlook would be like his mother. Keep fighting for answers and justice! 🙏 ❤

Rum and coke (tall) LOL connoisseur here. I can tell you right now it don't taste like BBQ... ever. That poor kid got roofied, and I would wonder if it was someone * cough cough* he knew thinking it would be funny.

[@emac543]

Could it have been coconut rum?

[@kimcat7320]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@addisperez8205]

​@@emac543I've never tasted any rum or liquor that tastes like Bar - B - Que. Nothing I've drank ever tasted like that. I do think that someone in his group thought it would be funny to give Riley something to see his reaction because they had never seen him be much of a party person.

[@eri7-11]

If he was roofied it would have no taste or at worse it might be bitter or salty but never heard anyone say it tasted like bbq sauce. BBQ sauce is smoky, sweet and tangy. Dark rum might have a smoky flavor. Was dark rum stored in plastic for a long time, as this could give a salty flavor? Or his drink was spiked with something else. The ethylene glycol in anti-freeze is syrupy sweet BUT anti-freeze would have had some bitter components added as a safety precaution. Did he drink too much and get alcoholic ketoacidosis which could affect his taste receptors "chemosensory perception"? Sometimes frats drink ungodly amounts. Update: Some girl from Tennessee prolly nailed it, she said there is a "kurveball whiskey" that is super strong and tastes like BBQ sauce. He probably had to much and accidentally fell or was pushed in the water. My neighbor was a young man who was drunk and in a boat on a pond in the dark and it flipped and he drowned. His friend made it to shore and jept screaming for him to swim. He was too drunk to try and find his friend and end up drowning as well. Sad for the family, years later the drowned boy's father who was a brilliant professor ended up with dementia. It's been so sad for the mother and sisters. Sheet happens.

💯 what kind of friend is like hey you’ll make it back, see you soon. There are taxis and ride shares that SIT on that road so be easy enough for frat to just get him a ride. Same with the cop he spoke with later.

[@andyjulia]

All due respect to Riley and it’s no excuse but maybe he was annoying when drinking and the frat brothers obviously didn’t care enough about him. He said or did something to get removed from the bar. This is heartbreaking and could have been prevented if just one of those boys cared enough to be with him.

Sounds like he was served Kurveball Whiskey. In Nashville, it's common to order it with Dr. Pepper, but some prefer it with Coke.

I’m not a physicist/chemist or anything, but based on ingredients of Rum, coke, and sleeping medicine (which is frequently used for roofy drug and easy to get ahold of) I’m thinking this might explain bbq taste, but consider all ingredients in all roofing drugs. Talk to his college and a physicist/chemist at that

[@MaryMary-iw7wh]

Usually benzos have a salty taste or no taste at all ..this is how they are able to be hidden in the alcohol.If it is the first drink of the night then one may notice an off taste...but if several drinks in...nope...or if given a drink like the kurveball whiskey with Dr.Pepper...this would mask the saltiness. Remember Dr.Pepper has an old school cough syrup taste to it ....I'm patiently waiting on toxicology.

Something happened to him he was falling down drunk staggering all over. There must have been something in his drink. I think his friends know more than what they are telling

[@jeanninejones8350]

I was roofied 15 years ago in a bar. I was with my son and another friend. Some random guy tried sending me a drink, I declined. He then came to our table with his friends and a round of shots for everyone. Thank God my son was there, I don't remember anything after that. He caught me being led outside by the random guy and I have no memory of anything.

That poor mamma. A young man was killed in a car accident a few years ago and his mom hanged herself a year or so later. Just... they also were very close. So sad. Just so so sad.

Rohypnol is tasteless, so we can rule that out. Why is she just mentioning this now??

[@PeaceLoveDolls]

Maybe police did not want that out in case it messed up their investigation.

[@lisakayruetz7354]

@PeaceLoveDolls she said she just found it

[@shannonrusso3853]

Who just found it? I'm listening to it right now. But she responded to him so she saw it right away​@@lisakayruetz7354

Based on trauma and brains reaction, I would assume it was because of the sheer shock and grief of her mental state. Once she began to come down from that stage of trauma, her mind would stop dissociating as much and begin to remember things that it didn’t before. all assumptions of course

[@RAB19751]

It’s more than that. From experience. She had good reason

[@lauradotson355]

This is sadly not surprising to me! He would have spoken to his mama as close as they are! Tragic beyond copable!

Drugged and robbed is common.

Someone is accountable…find them. Rip 🙏

[@bellawinfield8577]

I’m so sorry for Riley and his family. Bars better start rethinking how they DE X their customers. They should call a taxi and the bouncer should put the person in the taxi and tell where the customer is going. If the customer is that messed up send them to a ER by taxi.

Dope doesn't taste like bar b q😅

[@naomicox6570]

Not funny 😢

[@nancymcgee4776]

@@naomicox6570 They're laughing at the ridiculous idea that people in this comment section swear he had to have been fed a bbq flavored roofie....there's no such thing! If your gonna drug someone, you want them to drink it. Why would anyone drink a bbq flavored drink when it's supposed to be rum and coke? Find your thinkin brain cell!

[@MovingAlong742]

@@nancymcgee4776 I agree with you. If you're gonna slip something into somebody's drink you don't want it to have any flavor at all. It's supposed to be undetectable.

[@Diyer2023]

They do have “smoked” whiskey, bourbon.. I wonder if that’s what he meant? BBQ as in “smoked”

[@paulasoutchek3747]

Bartender? Possibly. Friends should have never left him.

[@lisascountrycreations334]

Yeah…some friends.

[@Ninja-Mama]

I’ve heard none of Riley’s friends he was with that night have talked to his mother. ????

[@Green27-h6n]

Riley knew. He knew they were coming for him. I just don't think he counted on the homeless being a part of this? There is famous person involved? The lady in the water may be the one who tried to hrlp him? They are keeping secrets on this case. He wants the 3 people brought to justice. Riley was murdered. Take care everyone.😑🙏🕯🙏

[@cindymaggio6537]

who was coming for him

[@MovingAlong742]

Have you been reading tarot cards on this topic? If so, you should prob get a new hobby.

[@jamee_maree]

Wait… lady in the water? Someone coming for him? Famous? Are there links you can share about that part bc I haven’t heard about those and would love to go watch them
