I can’t tell you how many times as a young man I’ve been out partying and a friend finds a girl or sleeps somewhere else. Our first thoughts were never that grave. But if someone says they’re going to meet us back at a hotel and they don’t turn up, especially if they were so intoxicated they were 86ed, we would probably be calling the authorities immediately.

He fell in the river, it is very obvious. He was stumbling that way and the last ping was right next to the river. His card was found on the bank.

[@Nagrom_924]

I kinda agree. It’s obvious the police think he’s in the water as well. People want it to be more suspicious but it’s not. It’s very sad and tragic because he seems like a great kid, but most likely he was drunk and fell in accidently and was too disoriented to get himself out.

The cops dropped the ball. They are back peddling because the general public are working harder than them, such as finding the bank card. If this were my missing child, I would absolutely point the fiinger to any weak links in the investigation.

Look up news reports about violence on Broadway in Nashville. There are almost nightly occurences of some type of another. I refuse to go downtown at night because it is so dangerous anymore. I was almost robbed by a homeless person in broad daylight in that same area just a couple of weeks ago.

[@firefighterd1265]

@@buzzbuzzerson3592 So True, I work in a lot of different areas around Metro Nashville. It is way more dangerous than most people understand. All of the stabbings, fights, robberies, and other violence that happen nearly every night is not normal for Nashville. The drugs such as meth and fent are everywhere. The police won't do much either. I literally saw a guy tweakin' on someones porch, the homeowner called the police. The cops didn't even take the tweakers stash an let him go.

I agree with you. Could have been placed there afterwards.

[@RabidYankeeC-ky3hb]

If that were the case then I don’t think it’s strange. Not using a stolen card would be the safest thing to do. It can change the case to a homicide should they find activity. All they would need is the transaction time, and merchant/vendor. You’d leave a digital trail for them to find you.

"I believe bars should be required to pay for a taxi because either they allowed patrons to become excessively drunk in their establishment, or they permitted intoxicated individuals to enter in the first place. Consequently, the bar should bear responsibility if these individuals incur expenses. Implementing such a policy might incentivize bars to enforce stricter rules. Currently, many bars view excessive drinking as profitable until patrons become disruptive due to intoxication."

My prayers are with you, Riley and family. ❤

I would still go through that phone

[@LaurenKaminski]

Yeah I am thinking better then them at this!

[@kristin9953]

His last ping was right by the Sheriff’s office. They should have a ton of outdoor cameras by the office!

[@emilyheather328]

The sad part is his cell phone went cold around the water. I honestly think he fell down and hit his head then went into the water. If he were alive he would have been home by now. The sad reality is he is probably in the water 😢

[@bjmartin5225]

Yep

[@TheEyeOfTaurusAK]

NO NO NO…The reason why these 2 girls found his Credit Card is b/c they’re PASSIONATE about this case. These cops…this is just a job for them. Their “passion” for finding missing people has gone by the wayside for one reason or the other-be it that that they’re jaded and know 95% of missing persons cases aren’t solved and if they are, the person is likely dead. They have no fire lit under their asses to care that much about looking for clues. Like cmon now…they knew of Riley’s last whereabouts well before the public did. They didn’t send anyone to comb thru that area with a fine tooth comb? Why not? “We’re looking for a person, not clues.” WHY NOT? Why are u not looking for “clues” as to what might’ve happened to this individual!?!? THAT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. And the truth is…this is just an annoying day job for them that they have to do in order to pay the bills. Those 2 girls tho…they’re passionate AF about finding Riley…they WERE out looking for clues, so it’s no wonder they were the ones who found this crucial piece of information-and it IS crucial, b/c that potentially places him at that spot by the water, instead of people just speculating. The passion that some of us have out here could be the spark needed to find a missing person or to solve a case that police have grown tired of “dealing with.” I think it would be such a great thing for society if law enforcement took on some of these people if they want to volunteer their time to help find someone who’s missing…I feel like it would only do these cases good. And hey, it might re-light a fire under LE’s asses to not want to get shown up by an amateur KZbin detective too

Why was Riley running before he stumbled and fell?

[@PoM-MoM]

I looked on Google maps of Gay Street and 1st Ave North and the Nashville Downtown HOSTEL at that location at the current time says that it is currently temporarily closed.. Perhaps he went there but online says its closed ??

[@Mosconi526]

Turn volume up on mics next time please

[@pixieanna2058]

He hit his head hard when he fell. What if he has amnesia and is with the homeless people?!

[@amandanegrete1306]

Well, that would be a good thing. IDK anything about amnesia aside from it being extremely rare. If Riley is experiencing some kind of TBI, memory loss, is confused and with the homeless community? That could be a good thing bc it means he’s alive and has a good chance of being reunited with his loved ones.

[@Phoenix8Rising]

or sitting in a hospital bed? and can't remember his name or anything?🤔

[@brandyoctober5923]

I thought of this too

[@KnockOut242]

This is so sad 😢 my heart is breaking for his mom and dad standing there pretty much holding each other up 💔

[@pixieanna2058]

Praying for Riley to be found safe soon!!! My heart breaks for his mother.

[@Jennifer-ul2vz]

Thinking of the families and friends of this young man..Truly hope he's found, gets back to his life and people that love him.

[@ericassuvtravels]

I am so sorry for the lose these parents and family must go through.

[@Karl-076]

Go undercover in the homeless places,
