Seeking answers in Riley Strain's disappearance

[@MissysDomain]

It looks like he might be suffering a possible head injury, too. In one video he falls into what looks to be a concrete slab. On the other he is grabbing/holding his head. So very tragic 😥

[@light_and_sound]

Or drugged.

[@ericgordon6926]

After he hit his head on that pole his demeanor completely changed…very concerning!

[@sarita5572]

It's heartbreaking to not see one person stop to help this young man who was obviously struggling. Not one good soul who passed by this kid asked if he needed any assistance, which he obviously did. What a sad world. And it really frightens me for my kids.

[@teastrainer3604]

I live in Los Angeles and sights like this are so common that nobody would stop their car. A better question is, why didn't one of his friends take him home?

[@BillCoppar]

Because people probably were afraid, I'm a big man myself, I've tried to help people who looked like they needed help and I've been lashed out at, I even had a man spit at me, so maybe those people felt the same way

[@hyacinth4368]

He was visiting from Missouri, so his home wasn't in Nashville. No one stopped to interact with him because people are afraid that if they do, they will be attacked or killed.

[@jerrycampbell2445]

Nashville has become a dangerous place. On the rare occasions I do go downtown I've found it best to keep to myself.

[@YounginBallin]

It’s people stumbling drunk like this all the time in Nashville. Must not be from here. Secondly, who is going to get out of their car and become a potential victim ?

[@Litebrite2944]

This is terribly heartbreaking No Love in these streets How could anyone be so heartless Jesus take the wheel and bring him home to his family

[@ZayneKingsby]

That poor mom and dad are crying out. They need help.

[@connemaraheather5040]

Heartbreaking to watch this. 💔🙏

[@anneglass8084]

Where were his ‘brothers,’ since he was attending an event with his fraternity? They just left him blackout drunk on the sidewalk. What great friends

[@debraburr4469]

If that were my son I would be beside myself..I'd be asking for help too!

[@Lisa_5591]

If he had been drinking at that bar before they kicked him put, they have some responsibility in this.

[@light_and_sound]

These poor parents!

[@charleneinman3625]

Not being mean but they can’t put the blame on other ppl.That young man should have known his own limit.I know drinks can creep up on you especially if you’re not a regular drinker.I just think the parents saying “ why didn5 no one help him? “ is a lot of guilt to put on his frat brothers! I pray he’s found safe .My heart aches for these family members .All in all Riley was a grown man that should have been responsible for himself!

[@brich6875]

@Lovelaughter790He was in a fraternity so I’m sure he is used to drinking.

[@hyacinth4368]

I agree with you. The young man made very poor choices. No one else's fault. Bar employees weren't babysitters, neither were frat boys, or random passers-by. I'm very sorry about what has probably happened to him, and I pray for his distraught parents.

[@jane156]

He could have been drugged. Whatever, blame does not heal any situation. It is just a distraction. My heart aches for this family and so many more.

[@ninastout3522]

I hate to say it but some people just stay away from somebody who appears drunk not wanting to be near them. I dont know if its fear or what. Its ashame for this young man of course.

[@peaceonearthnow]

When I see people that look like they are under some sort influence I usually cross the street or walk really fast and not make eye contact. A 6’1 guy can do a lot of damage if it turns violent, it’s sad but it is how many of us survive in the big cities.

[@billyje4726]

At least call the police and they can decide what to do...

[@Hellmiauz]

​@@billyje4726unless. He's black. Then you could be sending a death sentence.

[@billyje4726]

@@Hellmiauz I know what you mean. Then call the ambulance at least.

[@ms.k7449]

Parents r blaming others than their son actions

[@Hellmiauz]

It's gotta be on someone else surely is not on him.

[@sammyday3341]

The devil’s elixir claims another victim.

[@davestark2015]

I hate to say it , but he is in The water.

[@toniebranch5871]

I really think Germantown should be searched! Its more accurate when its said his pinned location was .64 miles southwest of 19 oldham street.

[@MrBetc]

This video is so heartbreaking to watch, why was he alone? Why was he served until he was too drunk to even walk? Prayers to his family.💔

[@pcb462]

This appears to be a simple frat boy got too drunk and was near water. 😢 It’s sad but I’d be shocked if it was something else.

[@regeniawilliams2965]

If he got into it with someone at the bar they need to be investigating them,they could have followed him some where.

[@alyssamastromarino5814]

It looks like there is a bunch of construction going on in that video, I wonder if he fell into a hole or something and is stuck. Praying for him and his family

[@JShady7620]

The problem is sometimes when you try to talk to someone who is this drunk they act out and may even assault you that’s why people are trained to mind their own business these days.

[@ashleyshayia8087]

He walked pass so many people I bet those same people feel REALLY bad for not at least asking if he was ok …..SHAME ON THEM SAME PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU ARE APART OF THE PROBLEM .‼️💔

[@Oliviabtruecrime]

These parents are heartbreaking! 💔 This is horrible! Very hard to believe that no one stopped to help him! His own friends didn’t even go with him! I don’t buy them saying that they weren’t allowed to leave!

[@headtrauma911]

Check freezers!!! This reminds me of when Keneka Jenkins a few years back walked around a hotel in Chicago and locked herself in a hotel freezer that wasnt being used.....

[@lrod8721]

Fraternity & booze, when will they learn they’re a deadly combination

[@roguelegend4945]

he was running because he was being chased'...

[@Michelle-bo1md]

Didn't look like that

[@DisandDat-ht5os]

Praying for this kid, people think Nash-Vegas is all fun but living here we've seen so bad stuff. Literally on the same newscast tonight they profiled a man they're searching for connected to robbing overserved patrons stumbling around Broadway. People here can NOT get split up EVER, and the bar needs to answer as to why they just throw an OVERSERVED man out on the street

[@Michelle-bo1md]

What are you saying?

[@omw9965]

So sad, I pray he may be found at least alive. What has this generation come to, back in the days, people would stop and offer help, this new generation is not the same. I really hope he is found quickly no matter what the case. Check your back yards, the tunnels, under bridges, wooded areas, sheds, alleyways, even dumpsters, walk with your dogs and go for a stroll near where he was last seen. Community help is much needed.

[@evelynwells-rk1ed]

His drinks were spiked, Smiley Face Killer!

[@justinrevel8705]

He was running from someone when he fell. TikTok shows him in a scuffle further up the block but the news isn’t showing that

[@MissPreCiousCat]

Someone shared this on a different video and I'm sharing it on others because behind where he is running from, you see a few people scrambling, one in a hoodie ducks behind a car. There were 2-3 people scrambling right in that background. Make the video bigger to see it.

[@cherylhaskell9830]

Sority friends should have stayed together. Seems as if Riley was alone and isolated

[@BillCoppar]

I hope they find him

[@Hellmiauz]

Why do we need fraternities again? Oh yeah we don't.

[@Lisa_5591]

Why didn't thr bartender make sure he had a ride????

[@sexysenior8934]

Because he was good enough to continue to sell him Alcohol,But not make sure their patrons get home safe...😔..It's disgusting..I feel so awful for him and his parents..And those sad 🤬 frat "brothers" ..😤😡😡😡

[@Michelle-bo1md]

This is not on the bartender.

[@lrod8721]

Why didn’t his frat brothers get him back to the hotel?

[@Hellmiauz]

Cos it isn't Disney world. Not their jobs.

[@jen77860]

🙏🙏

[@mcm3a812]

No one helped but why didn’t the bar call him a ride? Why did the bar keep his friends from leaving? Lots of questions here.

[@lesliecurtis9099]

Please lord bring him home safe 🙏

[@user-bo2xc8qc9m]

It could be a possibilty he was hit by someone who was drunk & taken elsewhere. This is Nashville everyones drinking. Sad but a possibilty.

[@Michelle-bo1md]

He was at several bars

[@tinaskaggs4231]

No one helped Riley, not even his friends.

[@rudymata]

Where the fuck is he

[@lovinLaVonna]

Sadly this is a DIFFERENT WORLD that we live in. Thank Obiden for people being afraid to stop and to intervene with anyone. It used to be an everyday occurrence but now it's once in a blue moon that somebody actually tries to help someone else. God bless and I hope you find him well

[@billyje4726]

People are not helpful anymore! No empathy and courage! They rather laugh at someone and film it, than help or call ambulance or police!! Shame on everyone that doesnt help a person who is struggling!! Shame on you, who drugged him, shame on ppl who saw him and did nothing!! 👈👈😡😡
