The bouncers escorted him out the door while his friends were settling the tab and when they walked out Riley was nowhere in sight. The police are looking for a homeless man who has 9 active warrants and is known for taking money, credit cards & phones from intoxicated people he comes upon in the downtown area. NINE active warrants! That part is the problem. There’s a woman who was handing out water & snacks to people in the area, and she said she saw a guy riding a bicycle wearing a shirt exactly like the one Riley was last seen in. In one of the surveillance videos you can see Riley walking along & a guy on a bicycle rides by. Then he walks out of view. Surely they are looking for bicycle guy.

In this case one of his buddies should have stepped up. Then again we don't know this kid or the scenario... who knows he could pull stuff like this all the time and the friends were like screw it we aren't dealing with him again... You just dunno. People leaves bars every single day alone and drunl. Let's be real, people do it every day. There is no reason to be 'scared'. If you are a man and you have to worry about walking down the street alone you really need to find a way to move out of that area or you should have never gone to that area. Let's get back to common sense and simple street smarts. People have to start taking their communities back too in many cases. Again this kid was wrecked and things happen. We are responsible for our choices, this kid went too far... If you see the video of him walking...or trying to he is just wrecked. I don't even know how he got that far.

@@darla218 No, I bet it did. In no camera footage was he accosted or even approached by anybody. He was suppose to turn left toward the hotel, but walked straight and then turned right instead. His phone last pinged right next to the lake too, near a sharp dropoff with lots of trees that falls into the lake. Sadly, he was pretty drunk and his friends said the bar prevented them from leaving with him, for those who asked why his friends didn't go with him. Apparently that's a policy because other guys, seeing a vulnerable drunk guy, will claim to be his "friends" and will walk out with him, trying to accost him, steal his money, beat him up, etc. I don't know why he didn't but he didn't use his Google Maps on his phone or just simply ask the many people walking around where his hotel was...but he didn't. He came with a group of several 100 students, as I recall. I think he fell down the embankment and if they don't find him in the trees, he fell in the water and drowned, poor guy, IMHO. If he had been beaten up or mugged by homeless guys, the other homeless guys would have ratted them out for $20. I think they will find him in the water, unfortunately.

They searched and searched for him, including the water but there were no signs of him for days. Everyone was looking, especially in the direction that a camera showed him walking. He was eventually found at the bottom of a steep drop and unfortunately he did not survive the fall.

@@purpleturtle7477 traffickers have no interest in a 6ft 6 man.

[@blackdogfive]

i had something horrible happen to me when i was a teenager, i do not blame my friend who i was with, i blame the monsters who hurt me also eventually i was able to realize you are your own liquor control board, but in youth you are not thinking this. Please let this young man be found . Bless the family , friends and 1st. responders working so hard.

[@lindahinzman8236]

He fell into the water and was washed away. Simple as that.

[@saythankyou111]

Sadly probably the case…..RIP 🌹🕊🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

[@Catchingfireflies19]

At this point its looking more like this young man is in the river...sad as it might be 😢

[@DAISYROSE22]

Not unless someone picked him up and saw an opportunity...

[@theresakessler1556]

PRAYING 🙏

[@Taureanfitness]

How is a kid that's almost 7 feet tall Just disappear?

[@avawilliams4227]

RIP young man

[@anj3595]

I know one thing, every church in Nashville should come out in force to pray to find this young man. There is no way someone disappears unless there is something sinister going on. Yes, he was staggering from something, maybe not just alcohol. Sobering up allows for mental clarity that gives one a realization help is needed. He is not able to reach out for some reason. After this amount of time, it is unlikely he is well, realistically. Common sense says that this will not end well and I pray he will be found. He is in my prayers and thoughts daily.

[@janelle3372]

That river is pretty deep and if the temperatures inside are cold, the body won’t float until decomposition starts. He is under water 💯 unfortunately. Call AWP!!

[@debb5791]

Is there any truth a homeless person was seen wearing his shirt and have homeless camps been searched??

[@teaburg]

I've never heard light brown being described as pristine white before. So it wasn't his shirt.

[@June-tb4vi]

What??

[@ThisWestVirginiaLife]

The lady that saw the homeless man in this shirt as well as at least one other woman that was also with the people passing out food to the homeless on Sunday verified it was the same shirt. He rode a bicycle she said

[@TG-fq6vy]

⁠@@teaburg that’s not true. It was part Tan. They have said that all along.

[@anttikarhu22]

No.

[@jeffshockley6063]

More than likely, not trying to be negative but honestly it’s 7 days later. If the watch doesn’t give a lead…. Where is the body!!

[@towmanac7056]

Body will swell up and that watch will burst off I bet it's not even on his body

[@kimemerson4608]

In the water up stream

[@terrymintle7230]

If someone gets separated from their friends after a night of drinking , please dont assume they'll find their way back to the hotel.

[@landanwoodard7569]

The current has been strong in the river and peaked the next morning at 10 am. They need to search the river down current for miles. Also the water is cold so that preserves the body and prevents it from surfacing from gases gived off during the decomposition process

[@whathappenedtomyYThandle]

Why isn't there a reward for information? Even a crimestoppers usually have a few thousand to offer. Or the bar.

[@VeeAmericanEagle]

Last time I heard it was $3k reward by an anonymous

[@whathappenedtomyYThandle]

@@VeeAmericanEagle Haven't seen it thanks. Should be on the billboards and other notices if there is.

[@karenallhoff5086]

Boycott this bar!!!!!!!! If something happened to him, they are directly responsible. It should be a law if a bar over serves (which cannot happen if the bar isn't doing it, duh), they should be responsible for getting the patron back to their destination be it home or hotel or lose their license. If bar and restaurant staff were held personally liable, we would see a hell of a lot less cases like this and drunk drivers. Prayers for Riley 💔

[@Kim-yy8kl]

Agree

[@staceyfreeman2286]

Could he have been drugged inside the bar?? He came out looking around like he was confused. He's one of 3 young men in their 20's missing right now. He even ran into a pole at some point of him walking. I believe you should look into the bartenders at the bar. Check their cameras to see who got close enough that could have also put something into his drink. I'm praying for him and his family. 🙏🙏

[@angelcole2597]

What type of brotherhood would allow him to leave alone... Not even publically have a search party...he may be hazing for satanic praising at this point....

[@justinhutchins6753]

There have been videos of him walking downtown and officers should be seeing him

[@mindbodylaura]

how long does it take to get a "phone report". I find that really strange that it would take any length of time.

[@Sweetlips65]

Has anyone heard if they have dogs tracking his scent? If not, please do so maybe this will help. 🙏🙏 Riley comes home safely 🙏🙏

[@BPS10-Ga]

Those cops don't care and they're lazy.

[@lalascrafts-phyllis9315]

I don’t understand his friends and why they let him leave in the condition he was in..so sad…

[@ThrifterPickerShipper]

Obviously, he was drugged as he only had one alcoholic drink and two waters.

[@Foxylady1611]

What did they find out in the homeless camp....???

[@user-yn7on7ou8n]

His frat brothers should have been looking for him, as as they left the bar. He was staggering as he was walking down the sidewalk.

[@thebadgerette69]

At least one of his buddies should have left with him. Eff the bouncers who would not let them leave until their tab was paid!

[@melissabrown6429]

When do bartenders stop your friends from leaving with you? When do friends not leave with you? Was he drugged?

[@NashvilleRachel]

How far down stream was searched ?? I was part of a search a few years ago of a young man drinking that went missing. He was discovered down river apprx 8 miles

[@foxylady7523]

It ashame nobody called the law for his well being when he crossed that cross walk, those lady should have stop him and call the law, Smh, so many cold hearted people; walking devils. Prayers for all the observers, the bar bouncer, and his friends that one should have left with him. Smh! Some kind of friends. Prayers.

[@MiaDallasite]

Way too similar to what's been happening in Austin.

[@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.

[@headtrauma911]

I know it sounds crazy but at this point we need to think outside the box also....

[@Lisa-xm4bw]

First off, we don’t even know if he made it back to the hotel. I would definitely 💯 pull surveillance from the hotel also.

[@headtrauma911]

@Lisa-xm4bw They never said he made it back to the hotel, i don't think he made it back to the hotel after the bar at all. He hit his head, caused a concussion and got lost in a town he is not from.

[@RoharaMuca]

I was saying the same thing the way he was stumbling over reminds of Kenneka stumbling in the hallway.
