I’m from Nashville born and raised and you don’t come to Nashville and get blacked out drunk and let one of your friends leave by themselves. Nashville is a huge city and it is not safe. I blame his fraternity brothers for letting him leave alone and the bar for over serving him and kicking him out without getting him to his destination properly in my opinion!
Absolutely!!!
You got it! 💯
Not just Nashville but anywhere. Shame on every single one of those boys and their parents for not teaching them what the words ‘friend’ or ‘brother’ truly mean.
The footage of him running into that poll or sign and then holding his head made me feel like along with intoxicated did he get serious head injury which can make you nauseous, dizzy, brain bleed. Being near water it is most likely where he fell in. It’s so sad when anyone is put out of a bar and their friends assume they’re fine or they get separated- so many times this same situation happens- so sad!
Blame? Why not Blame adults who drink in public.
It makes me wonder if someone drugged him the way he is stumbling.
It’s because he’s drunk lol that’s why he’s stumbling.
@@AC-te9dr He also fell and hit his head pretty bad
@@AC-te9dredibles
@@AC-te9dr he looks really out of it. That looks more than drunk, but I guess I am old. I never stumbled that bad and I got pretty drunk.
@@AC-te9dr how do you get that drunk in an hour? He had videocalled with his mom an hour before he went missing.
His poor family. My heart breaks for his mother. Praying for Riley.
we had ppl who captured and drugged a teenage girl for weeks in the area i lived in
Especially that's her only child,so sad..
It really gives me pause that it happened at the same place (Luke Bryan’s) where my family member experienced something similar this past summer. An EMT at the time told her that it’s been happening frequently there. Same story. Someone gets more “intoxicated” & kicked out of the establishment. Loses their friends. Wakes up somewhere they’re not supposed to be. In my relatives case she was taken to the hospital where she found out she had been drugged. It’s definitely scary.
Sending prayers of strength to Riley’s family & loved ones. I pray he’s found soon. 🤍🙏🏻💔
Please, tell the Police
wow ! sad for your family member but glad she survived!!! Similar thing has been happening in area of Austin's nightlife area.
Share your story with the Nashville PD.
after watching this im starting to believe he was slipped a drug in his drink which completely disoriented him, and was targeted for a crime. This is believed by some to be happening to people in Austin, Tx along the Lady Bird River area, a few blocks from 6th street where all the bars are. So many people have mysteriously died in that area that a documentary was made about each person, and in the end they hypothetically linked the victims to a crime ring based out-of-state. ua-cam.com/video/_CKDjt_I2aU/v-deo.html A survivor believes he was slipped a drug in a particular bar, and if a friend hadn't intervened he would have been another victim. His experience helped answer some questions to what could be happening, bottom line is drugs being slipped into drinks at bars, the perpertrators wait for the victims to leave, then lead them to the river, then attack them. It's all very bizarre
@@Rachel_2112Judging from what I’m hearing and reading, Nashville LE really doesn’t care. 😞
I dont trust fraternity brothers at all
Exactly! Real friends wouldn't have let him leave alone like that!!
@@jenniferpeterman5233the bar security wouldn’t allow friends to leave
💯
they were definitely more like acquaintances or “fake friends”
@@Charmander009 Sorry I don't buy that. Since when does a bar hold people hostage? We can come and go as we please in a bar. This isn't prison.
Nashville native here... This situation is so terrible!! He absolutely went the worst direction possible leaving the bar!! This city is not safe anymore!! God bless Riley💛
Prayers for this young man to be found safe and unharmed. 😔💔🙏🏽
Riley has such a wonderful family. I hope he is found safe and sound 😥
Please have them check the homeless camp!!!
I sent to news station in Nashville
@@AliciaLou1
Thanks so much 💔🙏🙏🙏
She was on the Pascal Show today…
I’m not trying to be mean at all, but do you really think checking a homeless shelter, or camp matters? he’s a young man he wouldn’t be drunk for days. He’s either dead or he’s dead.
@@mikemurray8562
If he’s got a concussion and the homeless took him in to help him…
he may have no memory right now and they may not know people are searching for him…
On the Pascal show Sabrina Martin said she was feeding the homeless on Sunday and she’s sure one of the homeless men with a bicycle was wearing his shirt …
brand new shirt with other filthy clothes…
She commented to her friend and said it was a distinct black pocket same exact design…
It was a person who was always there that lives up in the top part of the homeless camp with another man with a cart and a large woman …
She called tip line but only got recording…
Please watch it on the Pascal show… he just cut it out of the main show and put that section on UA-cam …
@@mikemurray8562 yes if any belongings of his is there then they have more to go on, maybe someone will speak…. Maybe they find a phone or article that can hekp
Dude. This story is breaking my heart! His mother’s tears are too much. 💔😢
Where's the mother here? The lady in the video is his cousin.
@@DNSMLT From other videos.
Friends don’t let friends who are extremely impaired walk home alone. Things are not adding up.
They were all wasted. Two of them got thrown out because they were so drunk.
I saw the video of him stumbling after he had fallen and hit his head. In that video it shows Riley stumbling down the street and what looks like he's constantly touching his head or face as if he was injured. Seeing videos of him stumbling down the street breaks my heart so deeply. He's all alone and looks confused. I think there's that high probability that he was drugged. I pray that he is found soon. My heart goes out to Riley and his family.
Any pings on his cell phone?
If his drink was laced with drugs then why weren't his friends escorting him back to the hotel?
@@anniekirts6621the last ping was about 30- 45 minutes after he was kicked out of the bar. It was near the bridge where Cumberland River is. I haven’t heard yet if his Apple Watch has given any information.
You can see in the video before he falls and hits his head, he is running… I just wonder what he is running from
In all the footage I see he is heading slowly towards the waterfront...
Looks like he hit his head pretty hard on that cement thing when he fell.
The bars in Nashville really need to try and make sure patrons they are kicking out have a safe way to leave instead of throwing them out on the street..even if thats having the police assist. That area is really close to a huge river obviously and im sick of seeing so many ppl drown. Ive seen it multiple times now. Its sickening to see the attitude of ppl that were there..the heartless "frat brothers"..
Or how patrons have some self control and don’t get drunk enough that they have to be thrown out.
Actually, the frat brother wanted to go with them, but the bar security would not let him leave charges for illegal, detainment and kidnapping. Need to come.
@@tony4534
And when someone slips something in your drink?
Srop!
@@Charmander009
Big lie!
You actually believe that bar security refused to allow people to accompany this very young, extremely wasted young man in an unfamiliar, metropolitan area. The story that the friends were detained in the bar is PULL BULLSHIT. It is baffling that you actually believe that narrative.
There's no way that kid drank 1 beer and a bottle of water on that night.
He horribly injured himself when he ran and fell headfirst into the cement sign… and then couldn’t walk but only stagger…!!!💔💔
🙏🙏🙏
Exactly he hit that sign base very hard, most likely a concussion,he could be anywhere
Has the family searched and followed where he went!!??!???
He got slowly closer to the waterfront... I would start there. But hey.... I'm not a detective, I just play one on TV.
@@maryjogreen1706
Yes since day one!
Searched all over and posted signs got videos and done interviews…
@@princessmariposa828 Or a much worse head injury than a concussion !
Someone said there was homeless guy wearing a shirt identical to Rileys , it's a pretty unique shirt. I think he was ok until he fell. I think he got a concussion.
I wonder if they robbed him, killed him, and dumped him in the river. Yikes.
@@ST-rj8iu at least he didn’t throw away the shirt
@@Charmander009 What a F'd up response. If this was your child you wouldn't make that comment. You're a POS.
He was not OK. when he left the bar, he went in the opposite direction of the hotel. He was very drunk and obviously disoriented.
The head injury that he incurred could have been devastating and life-threatening !
Show the bar footage and the moment the bouncer kicked him out! What you hiding?...
It seems like it would be such a simple thing for cities that size to install cameras at river bridges and river access points.
We praying he comes home soon ❤
I am sorry but shame on the people passing by him on video. I cant bear to see anyone in a vulnerable position...I would have stopped and tried to help him. My sorrow for his family and hopes of a positive outcome.
You’re very different than a lot of people. Most people don’t gaf about anyone but themselves
That video is heartbreaking
You’d be stopping every 5 minutes or so in Nashville if you stop for every drunk.
Are you stupid? You can literally see people drunk stumbling through Nashville on a nightly basis. You going to go volunteer to help them all get home?
People who see someone in this condition should ask them if they are alright or at least call an ambulance for them. It’s obvious this young man was drugged. He was kicked out around 10pm that’s so early to be that intoxicated. His fraternity brothers drugged him. Hazing! Poor young man roaming around a city he is not familiar with in that condition. His fraternity brothers know a lot more than what they are saying. The truth will eventually come out.
Do they haze people right before they graduate though?
No man the locals.
He is 6’6 so I can see why people could be intimidated, you never know if the person could be violent or have a weapon, I do understand why strangers would ignore it. I heard somewhere that by the time the fraternity checked in into the hotel the guys were already pretty wasted, I’m sure they started the party before leaving the hotel. I hope the family finds all the answers and they can bring him home.
@@shondrawhite9317 along the lines of hazing. He may have been singled out by them. Maybe it was suppose to be a joke, but look what happened. Riley was in worse condition than any of his fraternity brothers. They took 16 hours to call the police. Why didn’t they go looking for him when he wasn’t back at the hotel. The 911 call sounds like the friend was afraid to answer the questions and he mentioned the “water” which I just think was weird. Will Riley’s body wash up along that water in a few days? If so they better investigate his fraternity brothers. Praying poor Riley is ok, but if he was he would have surfaced by now 🙏
@@peaceonearthnow exactly, but at least call him an ambulance and give them his description and location.
Prayers for Riley and his family 😢. I'm praying for a safe return home. 🙏 ❤
So sad. Someone probably put something in drinks. Sorry this happened and hope a miracle happens...he returns home to those who love him.
I too hope that law enforcement
keeps their focus on the homeless communities. The staff at the bar should be held accountable for not making sure that he wasn't put in an Uber or taxi, after they possibly over served him and the threw him out on street at night! 😡
He over served himself.
Or his friends
The bar security would not let the friends leave with him illegal detainment kidnapping
He’s an adult the staff cannot babysit him. His friends were not as drunk as him, they know him best so why did they stand by while he got inebriated & wandered off.
@@tony4534 There are actual laws holding bartenders responsible for serving alcohol to intoxicated people.
I can’t stop thinking about this case. Just awful 💔
Can you stop thinking and help with the search.
@@monk4everCan you meditate on what's making you lash out at others?
@@undefinedd1147he send nothing wrong tho 😂 bunch of fake sympathy go look for him
That was rude!! His cousin was talking and you completely cut her off!
…. The cousin IMMEDIATELY made it about herself. “They’re trying to keep me out of it” Reporter gets an A+++
And you think that's acceptable she did that because of that?! Not professional at all....
I was actually thinking the same thing!
Another college guy gone missing, after leaving a bar, while showing signs of being intoxicated/drugged, and near water. I hope this isn't another case where he's found in the water.
Most likely fell into the river
Yeah, I don't understand why this case is getting so much attention. Unless there's something they're not revealing publicly it appears it's extremely likely that he drowned.
@@lamsmiley1944 some word going around a homeless guy had his shirt on 🤔
Maybe he took his shirt off...Doesn't mean a homless person did something to him.
@@someguy9778 not saying a homeless hurt him. But if they can find out if that's his shirt. Where it was found. Might give clue to where he might be
@@lamsmiley1944ummm he’s a white man..duh..white missing people syndrome..
BARS. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS THIS IS THE OUTCOME. YOUNG PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM IT ALL..❤
Alcohol should be banned , it's dangerous and make people do wreckless things, it also is bad for your body , it's addictive as well.
@@realitywins-do5hj Banned? 😒 yeah good luck with that... nobody, not you, not anybody has the right to tell others what they can and cannot do, whether they are good choices or bad choices, as long as they are not hurting anybody else.
Communism is not okay
All drugs too@@realitywins-do5hj
I can’t agree enough! AMEN
Facts ❤
This case is so sad. Just a kid having fun in college. Prayers for family and his safe return 💜💜💜Riley 💜💜💜
I just do not understand why they would allow Riley Strain to leave alone and in his condition. Fraternity brothers are just that - brothers. Why was he allowed to leave a bar intoxicated? Why is it that none of his fraternity brothers ensure his safe transport from bar to hotel? This is just unbelievable!
Is there a reward for information? That could potentially be helpful in getting a passersby or unsheltered individual to share information.
Half the people who give tips are false tips anyway. Why invite more false tips? The person who drugged him is not going to come forward
Yeah.... something is seriously messed up here. Praying for Riley.
God Bless and return Riley to his family.
I’m telling u he mighta got mugged
You know what's so scary because one part of you wants to help the person but the other part of you doesn't know the person and don't know if they're on something or if they're packing something if they have a weapon like you never know. Which this guy looks like a good guy. But still it's hard like especially if you're a female and you're by yourself and you see a guy you know, falling and all this. It's hard to help sometimes. I've helped a lot of people and I've gotten my vehicle stolen written off from people who have tried to help. It's just this world is just so scary. I really really hope they find this man
I agree with what you've said. Plus, he was thrown out of the bar...probably for bad behavior.
@@Hiway.to.Heaven well he was drunk and they overserved him which is also on the bar's fault for over serving. But either way this was not handled correctly and again, like I said, people have to have their guard up all the time and it's hard to be like. Oh, is this a good person? That's a bad person? Should I help them without getting hurt? But thank you
If the bar had called Rideshare or police instead of kicking him out when he was clearly very intoxicated in the middle of the night, or the friends had followed him.
I PRAY FOR HIS SAFE RETURN🙏🙏🙏
If he hadn’t gotten so drunk that he needed to be kicked out.
Did I miss that part of the video? I didn't hear he was kicked out.
@@ctl6233 they kicked him out like uncle Phil kicking out jazzy Jeff
@@tony4534you don’t know if he may have been drugged to no fault of his own. Stop assuming.
@@ctl6233 Not on this report, but it was reported on multiple reporting as "kicked out" and "asked to leave" by the staff.
He is slowly getting closer to the waterfront too... is no one else noticing? Extremely drunk frat bro.... river.... kerplunk?
I believe he was drugged. Where was his so called friends? Sometimes men will envy tall guys. Check who he was with.
Nobody wants to be 6’7” can’t fit in a bed can’t fit in the car
What about the guy wearing his shirt?!
Yes that's a very unique shirt
He got himself a nice shirt. It kind of likes spreads equality because it’s a black and white shirt.
What guy
I doubt that was true. Did they take a picture of that? No? There’s so many liars wanting to seem relevant in things like this. So they lie for attention
I wonder if a drug was slipped into his drink?
My prayers are with Riley and his beautiful ❤️ family .praying he makes it back home have faith in the lord.amen.
Where are all his Frat guys now? NOT BROTHERS!!!! Brothers don’t treat brothers like this!!!!!
Thank you Ashleigh
it seems like he got rufied. that's messed up. maybe it was a "hazing"
This has broken my heart to pieces...to hear his momma talk on other news broadcasts makes me cry. My adult kids are a few years older and it scares me so much for them to see not one person stop to help this young man who was struggling and alone. 😢 Praying big time for this young man! 🙏 ❤
I'm praying they find
I think he likely got a concussion when he hit his head. Passed out. Someone probably stole his phone.
It doesn't look like he had a phone on him he still had the Apple watch on and it don't look like he had a wallet or nothing on him
I think he was drugged in the bar hope they find him 🛐🛐🛐
He slowly got closer to the waterfront... from the map.
@@kyloren3693Haven't they already checked the water? I thought i saw that. Not that they couldn't have missed something.
Sadly, so do I. And I am not one to automatically jump to wild conclusions. This reminds me of that area of Houston where people are drugged in bars then robbed once they are tossed out
Pray for Palestine also
@@meghoughton562 the currents carry objects away, if he fell there he wouldnt be found very easily
I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that when you watch the video when Riely first leaves Luke's Bar and he's running down 3rd street I believe it is and he fell.....he was running perfectly for an extremely impaired person.....I'm wondering if he had hit his head when he fell....that fall took him a minute to get up from. He almost looked like that hit had knocked him out briefly at first too, maybe it may have caused the staggered movement from that point on in the rest of his videos ?? Idk. Just by the way he was staggering and tripping over his own feet after that fall just walking, but just prior he had no problem running when he first left the bar.... Does that make sense? I'm thinking he could have been tipsy when he got kicked out, but I'm wondering if that fall created a head injury of some kind that caused some coordination issues making him look like he was completely impaired. This is just my opinion.....I just can't stop thinking about how perfectly he was running at first for someone that's supposed to be that messed up, he couldn't even walk after that point, but started off running and looking pretty stable on his feet at that point too. I just can't stop thinking about that. IMO....
Maybe the parking garge behind him. Check that well.
His phone pings closer and closer to the waterfront... I'm guessing whatever happened, happened at the waterfront.
So sad and avoidable. 😢
100%%%%%% AVOIDABLE!!!!
This is just like the disappearances in Austin TEXAS!
What I’ve been thinking for days. I live in Austin
Who and when? I'm not familiar with this disappearance. 😢
@@stephanie_smith Google Austin town lake deaths. Bodies been found in lake for over a year. I have lost count but 4-5 I’m pretty sure
It looks like he has been drugged - they need to talk to the fraternity brothers
I wonder if his friends thought it would be “funny” to drug him, and then he disappeared.
Why did they make him leave the bar?
Im scared someone took advantage of him, robbed him. I sure hope not but its not looking good. 🙏🙏🙏 for him and his family.
Sabrina Martin went to feed the homeless and one was wearing his shirt
This is a huge detail 👌
I messaged ppl what u said
Omg this is crazy 😢 I really hope he’s ok
Do we know if Sabrina got a hold of anyone?
@@denagetz9894 I just talked to news station sent screen shots of all this bcz there’s no time!!!
He’s a young man who went missing in the middle of the morning. He is dead. I’m sorry guys and I’m not trying to be rude.
Pretty much unless some miracle he's found alive
@@BLMoore and people are saying check homeless shelters, but I don’t think that would help because why would a 22-year-old just stay at a homeless shelter when the whole world is looking for him? It’s not like he’s a kid and just got lost.
@@mikemurray8562 right and he would have had his ID
@@mikemurray8562 right and he would have had his wallet
The guy in this video pulling the wagon is the guy that was possibly seen in wearing his shirt!
seeing him the first time in the video made the hair on the back of neck stand up.
@@iammedusa2600 mine too
A lady that feeds the homeless said that the guy seen in a shirt like his was on a bike. There is a video of someone on a bike going onto the sidewalk and in Riley s direction.
My God almighty bring Riley home safe and sound 🙏🏻
Looks drugged to me and then after that bad fall he looks injured.
Prayers to the family! ❤
If he fell and hit his head, maybe he is wandering around with amnesia. I hope they find him alive.
Last phone ping was by the river. Hes in the river. 😢
Were sending our prayers too this poor family soso sad❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
If they are talking to the homeless people in the camps, they typically know the area. They should ask the homeless camps about places that should be searched.
Prayers
So many people saw him fall hang on the wall. NOBODY helped him. Breaks my heart.
Looks like he did more than drinking.
Edibles
So much for southern hospitality. Nashville looks like NYC right now.
Nashville has been turned into party city. It's a really expensive dump these days.
I have been praying for Riley to be found safe, i think maybe someone put some kind of drug in his drink, and why would the bar people or his friends let him go by himself, is so heartbreaking i hope he is found safe. 🙏
His poor Mom and family. I wonder if someone drugged him😢
The reporter was rude interviewing the lady who was talking within the first 20 seconds she interrupted her.
She does that a lot in her interviews. Weird
God I pray for Riley and his family I hope he is found safe!!! God forbid if his body is found and he has drugs in his system his family needs to sue the bar. His friends should have been able to leave with him. The bar did not care about Riley’s safety
His poor parents.
The rails near the water appear to be very low. With his height and tipsy walk, it wouldn't take much for him to topple over the railing into the water.
2 different homeless camps seen him. Homeless people can be very violent. It's clear he was robbed and hidden. No human walking just disappears by mistake no matter the size. He didn't fall in a damn river and not already wash up somewhere being that tall and frail. Someone may place him in now but he dang sure didn't die there.
He could have a serious brain injury from running into that sign and not even know where he's at. I had a similar experience/injury and was stuck wandering the streets of salt lake for months.
so heartbreaking.
I’m hearing that the fraternity brother wanted to go with him, but the bar stopped him from leaving because he didn’t pay his bill yet my question is is that legal can a bar detain someone against their will?
There were allegedly 50 fraternity brothers on this trip. Undoubtedly there were more than just 2 at this bar. ONE OF THEM COULD HAVE GONE WITH RILEY TO ACCOMPANY HIM TO SAFETY. WHILST SOMEONE ELSE SETTLED THE BAR TAB.
@@ramblinmic6324EXACTLY!!!!!!
You actually believe that? Seems like they wanted to stay at the bar and party.
Camera's in the bar should tell something ,he was targeted or a prank gone wrong but someone is responsible.
If he took a ride from someone it's not gonna turn out well.
The family friend saying “was” is heart breaking. He knows the likely outcome. 😢😢😢
There is a big roofie problem at Nashville bars. Seems like he was drugged. Never leave your friends. Stick together especially when out drinking. Lots of bad things can happen
When somebody gets that drunk, anything can happen. Where were his friends and why was he alone?
The girl in the cowboy hat with her friend… we need to talk to her!!!!!!! Did he talk to them at the corner? What did he say??? Those two ladies might be able to help!!!
He looks lost, yet nobody approached him to ask if he is ok. With the river so close.....
He's in the water
This happens so often.
Broadway had cameras everywhere, have they been checked?
Try to drill into your teenagers…never get inebriated to the point you’re not in control of yourself and can be responsible for yourself but your friends who might need help. College students are still children essentially; they just don’t have any adult backup.
The bar that he got kicked out of the employees need serious training now they have to live with this for the rest of their life's if it ends up that he is no longer alive
I am from the area they need to check under those bridges with in the homeless camps. He could have some type of head injury or other injury. He could be under one of those bridges. Should go check under bridge by jonny cash museum.
I will go myself tomorrow and check the area I know all the bridges.
They probably got him, you can’t stumble the streets in the city and last long. Hope they find him
I pray they find him safe
GHB could've be put in his drink. That drug was found in men who disappeared and later found drowned
I still do not get any of this. His fraternity brothers? So many unanswered questions. I pray it was not fentanyl. So many people have died from that.
Its so concerning how people think every incident is a conspiracy or a crime. Often its very straightforward.
