Riley Strain Update

[@beckymitchell6240]

It really breaks my heart that none of his friends went with him!!!!

[@Messpinoza80]

Shame on them!

[@williamcowell1889]

Why is it their fault? Maybe he got too drunk and took something? Maybe drink responsibly. He’s a sr in college not a freshmen.

First of all the pub ,bar they were in told Reily he had to leave . His friends one two of them wanted to go with him they told them they couldnt leave with Reily . The pub should got him cab ,uber by law knowing he was that drunk Reily had one drink there they said this . Some one could of put some thing in his drink . Theres another girl missing if im correct few months before this . People should stop plaming his peers . Its the bar that kicked him out . Not getting him way to get home when they were new there in hotel . His friend wanted to go with him but the qyestion is not right them stopping his friend to go with poor sweet heart . Hes a good boy . I think they said its like club after club in this area they went to one before this bar dont know other then this . People have to stop blaming his peers . They were very concerned up set . He looks so much like one of my grandsons my daughter who past away March ,20/2019. She had 4 beautiful children her oldest is in college this year . So proud of all of them . Thats why this case im watching every minute of the day . I have feeling god bless him and his family ,friend i feel tomorrow day of my daughter i hope pray hes with us . I couldnt stop crying his mom i cried watching her reminding me of her . A day i have to be with her and watching up dates here praying hes found alive .God bless every one . Ppl need stop sending messages that are not caring ,kind give hope love . Life is so precious help each other ,be kinder .😭🙏🙏

heartbreaking. Shame on every person who failed to make sure Riley made it back to his hotel safely. Riley was likely roofied, which is another problem Nashville needs to address.

[@kimlittleton4943]

That is what I was thinking. I recently watched a video focusing on men getting spiked in Austin, TX, and it mentioned this was happening in many big cities.

[@SayItAintSo4real]

I agree. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

[@beckymitchell6240]

Yep… that’s exactly what I thought when I saw how inebriated he was. I hope they find him so his family will have some answers. I can’t even imagine what they’re going through.

[@tula1433]

Tons of men in every city especially nashville writing about getting spiked and robbed. The footage of him running he was running from two men in front of a white truck. Why won’t the media show that part!? I saw it on TT on the page Doingtimewithlindsey

[@SayItAintSo4real]

@tula1433 wow! That's scary.

[@Pish4004]

Still praying for the safe return of this young man. 🙏

[@jenn_gulf_coast4644]

He was drugged. The bar claims 1 drink & 2 waters. As a bartender, I can tell you 1 drink doesn’t make you stumble & get kicked out of a bar. You’ve got to be really out of control to get kicked out of a bar. Someone drugged him.

[@julialane6645]

Common for people to be drugged in Bars in Nashville on Broadway & Downtown & Tourist are not aware.

[@Lisa-xm4bw]

He could’ve had more than 1 drink 🍹. Maybe the group were taking turns buying rounds. Pre game drinking maybe, we just don’t know. This certainly doesn’t look 👀 good though.

[@JamesBrown-dv4ve]

A week is too long

[@braddavid902]

@@Lisa-xm4bwyeah he may have drank before going to the bar

[@kimlittleton4943]

I have seen the shorts of videos of him walking on the sidewalk. I believe he was spiked as well. So sad. I had no idea this was happening so often. I have two sons in their 20's. This definitely needs to be talked about more and educate people. I have been out of the bar scene for years. It is a shame. I read about some college students who created a dip stick to test your drinks. This world is so upside down with the cruelty going on.

not being able to find him after a week is odd.

Yes. Very strange considering. That person on the bike in one video seemed to be watching him closely. 😢

[@Dmp937]

Yes please keep it alive. MY heart goes out to his family and friends.

[@johnbrowneyes7534]

Would have taken him 12 mins to walk back to the hotel. He clearly was confused and walked nowhere near the hotel.

[@Todd-lf4xb]

He may have possibly hit his head and has brain injury and memory loss and got a ride from someone out of town?

[@towmanac7056]

Wow best theory other than in the river yet ..scary

[@sumudsterling]

I’m sober. This was me. This could have been me. No. One. Deserves. This. We live in a “democracy” that teaches us alcohol (which is poison) is something fun to do. Not one person helped Riley even crossing his path. Yet hundreds line up after the fact to help find him. We gotta to better for ourselves and for our communities. We gotta reflect on this moment. We keep us safe, we keep our communities safe. Be kinder to humanity. I hope Riley comes home safe. ❤

[@ladyfreedomsrawnarratives]

None of this makes sense. Things are not adding up. Very Bizarre. Praying for answers.

[@towmanac7056]

Smiley face killers very similar

[@JW-28]

It is adding up. He was very drunk and stumbling around right by a river. I guarantee he is in the water. I hope not but that is very probable.

[@ladyfreedomsrawnarratives]

@@JW-28 I agree, I think he is down river for sure. What doesn’t add up is the events at the bar and his friend letting him go off alone. None of them have come forward, none of them have been interviewed by news, and none of them have made a statement or plea to find him. If that was my friend, I would be searching, I would be asking for help, and I wouldn’t stop until they were found. Something just isn’t right there.

He was drunk off his ass, it does not matter if you are from there or not.

[@TrueCrimeSluethin]

@@ke6264 I think he was drugged. On TikTok it shows when Riley was running there was a white truck chasing him. But the media won't show that. It's not uncommon and we hear of groups spiking peoples drinks to rob them.

[@katiesioux7757]

@@ke6264 it does, I was a bartender in a huge tourist spot and I worked at the world's largest biker bar for years, during bike rally and I never just left a customer hanging like that. We had no less than twenty thousand people a day come through our bar and you just gotta be better than they were. I had a customer walk out and die on the street, I'll never forget how I felt thinking that we did something wrong. Turns out he knew he was dying and my bar was on his bucket list and he got up from his friends and walked out and died. As a bartender, it's your bar and you gotta pay attention to your guests , no matter how quick the interaction. I've also been drugged and luckily was saved before the monsters got me... Bartending should be more than just drink slinging.

It's a real sad story, but hardly rare. Guys need to come up with their own buddy system. People saying he was drugged. I find that hard to believe, usually the motive for that is sexual assault. But anything is possible since we know nothing.

[@Lisa-xm4bw]

I keep hearing a lot about men being drugged, then robbed of all their assets. When the male comes to, he doesn’t even remember what happened. Usually, it’s a female who does this. I’m leaning towards Riley had a bad accident. Hopefully 🙏 he can be recovered. I’m not sure if Riley was drugged. We have absolutely no idea 🤷‍♀️ how much this guy had to drink 🍹.

[@XwhyZee527]

I hear you, it does happen. But the numbers are higher for women being drugged. Sadly, I believe he fell into the water. It happened twice last year in Brooklyn IIRC. @@Lisa-xm4bw

They ask that 100% of the time. It's stupid but a standard q

[@terrisoutherngirl5960]

I agree she asked some of the stupidest question what would you say to him

[@thejerseylady1]

A guy on tic tok walked Riley's route ending at where the homeless camps were and they are completely cleared out nobody there nothing left except trash. As far as the shirt I think that is a bum steer because the shirt the lady saw was white and black and Riley's shirt is tan and black according to Riley's friends. The lady was just trying to help but she didn't no the real color of Riley shirt

[@spencer8630]

I would be much more kind and I would ask what Riley likes to do for fun, what kind of activities he does in college or high school. Possibly I would ask if he has a girlfriend. I would ask what the police believe regarding him running instead of just walking. That, looks as if he was definitely being chased. NO one runs when they are drunk or feeling funny from being roofied. Just my take, but I think some losers who "run" the downtown area, chased him to a secluded area to get his wallet and iPhone and apple watch. All of his devices were inactive by 10 pm... So they weren't submerged in water, bc they would still work for another 30 minutes minimum. They were stolen and powered off so they could not be caught easily. So darn sad... If they had just walked him out the way he came in, he would not have been turned around. It almost seems like this was all planned out by some sinister individuals.

[@hawaiibound62]

Someone mentioned, if u are intoxicated, its very possible it will make you pee alot. He was spotted on video, close to the river there. Some of us wondered if he tried to go to the river to relieve himself and could have fallen in. Also, in one videos of his sightings, it appears he hit his head. As he grabbed it afterward, its possible he could have been drunk and received a TBI. Ive suffered a TBI and u wont realize u need to eat or drink. I had to be reminded. U can lose your sense of direction and get them backwards. Its truly a scary experience to be dealing with a head injury. So if Riley suffered both in one night, im concerned for him. But he may not be able to get words out correctly or at all with a TBI. So i dont know if he would be capable of asking for help. I wish you all the best, im praying for you all that he is found safe. 🙏🏻

[@johnbrowneyes7534]

No doubt he would have had to relieve himself. He may have walked into the trees/river area and lost his balance. It’s too bad he couldn’t have just walked into another bar/restaurant and asked for directions/help. I get he was very intoxicated and young, and probably didn’t have the stamina. I wonder why he was running.

[@braddavid902]

I’d be shocked if he’s alive. It’s been too long
