It's a pity to think this young man appears to not have had real friends among the fraternity. How dare they let him go solo.
That is my main angst! They just weren't taught how to care for companion/friends. Just plain sad!!
They were drinking too. Nobody knows their level of intoxication that evening. Their hotel was only a few blocks away. There was a police officer that he walked past and never asked for help? And don’t start ragging on the police. If he had asked for help back to his hotel…they would have helped him. The blame game here is very disturbing. When it’s released, the toxicology report should indicate more. I’m pretty sure his friends were tanked too. You can’t expect much from drunk people. That’s why I don’t go to bars or hang out with drinkers. It’s not a good crowd to be around. He should have gone bowling or to the movies instead.
I think that says a lot about Riley if no one wanted to follow him out of the bar
@@spacewolfjrhuh?? I’m sure they didn’t want to leave the fun bar in Nashville!!! Maybe his friends didn’t see him get kicked out-maybe he left them to go to the bathroom and got kicked out then….quit blaming everyone.
@@BOLOforJESUStheTRIBULTIONear in the video they said a friend followed him down the stairs of the bar but didn't leave with him
The whole situation deserves a thorough investigation.
Trolling bars in NYC and NJ we NEVER left our comrades alone. All for one and one for all.
The 3 Musketeers ?
As a jersey girl, that’s true. However, I took a ride from
A bar whose passenger wanted to murder me. That was 35 years ago and I fought for my life to get out of that car.
@@Bzzzzzzzz535 I live by seaside. reminds me of this one guy that joined along looking to party one night, he kept going "Garbage truck purple shoes lace up" after we smoked a quarter ounce of weed amongst our group, then he started banging his head on the wall threatening us and bobbing back and force full force slapping us and passer by's. scary stuff.. never really came close to getting murdered tho (That im aware of)
This just reminds me of the college student a couple years ago who's friend dropped her off after a drunk night out and it was 17 degrees . She ended up passed out on the porch and almost froze to death. She lost all her fingers and toes and nearly her life
There WAS foul play. So damn obvious.
ABSOLUTELY 💯 IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FROM THE START
Personally, I think this was an accident -- I feel bad for the family who want some closure but there's not always a person to blame. Sometimes people get too drunk and make bad decisions.
I think the theory that he went down to the river to urinate and fell in makes the most sense and to why he didn’t have his belt on. After I heard this theory-I don’t think there is foul play.
@@BOLOforJESUStheTRIBULTIONear maybe he decided to swim/jump in and took his pants off first (to protect his cell phone / wallet) -- lots of people are looking at this with the mind of a sober person but when you're drunk you do dumb things and can get depressed
The kid was probably barfing or peeing in the river and he fell in. I understand the parents don't want to accept it but it's honestly that simple
Foul play at
Inside the bar
This comment 👍
Possible
Of course! That’s who is slipping the roofies!
@@lisahollingsworth6315 might of been the his buddies also as a prank who knows..but someone is responsible!
That's what I was thinking also💔😔
If one of my friends gets tossed for being trashed, im leaving with them!
💯🎯
I thought they weren’t allowed to leave with them. I heard someone was gonna go with him but the bar stopped them.
Were they truly his friends?
@@RazorRevenge I heard that too but that makes zero sense. They can’t stop someone from leaving because they were kicking another person out.
Yup. We always had a pact that nobody leaves alone.
Not a single frat brother made a statement, did an interview or stayed even one extra day in Nasville to support the parents or help withe search. They just left and went back to school and got on with their lives. Despicible.
Gotta wonder if there’s a frat bro related to a cop….why were they not question straight away.
Could be lawyers advised them to not talk to anyone at this point
That speaks volumes.
So much for good friends
The Fraternity will not let anyone speak without their attorneys.
Usually crimes within are kept under radar.
I just cry whenever I see another story on this young man. He is such s great looking young man.
He has such a open sweet face. I have one son (only child), I would die if something would happen to him. I just feel so bad for his parents.
Teach your son to stay sober and trust no one
I Feel The same.
@@t0manderson571 most parents don’t push their kids to drink. We all know what drinking does but a lot of college kids like to drink. It’s not necessarily the parent’s fault.
I agree…I have one son, my only child and I too would die if something happened to him. He’s only 5 now but I dread the day when he’s old enough to start going out drinking with friends.
@@t0manderson571I think you need to teach your kids to pick better friends who don’t let you stumble off totally trashed. So I wouldn’t say don’t drink, but don’t drink with the wrong people.
These kids, whether they feel guilt or not, need to man up and talk to the parents. It’s the right thing to do. They know a lot about what happened that night before Riley left Luke bar. But they know that somebody from the group should’ve gone with him, that’s why they are not talking to the parents. But they just need to do it anyway, no matter how they feel about this situation. The parents deserve this from them.
Why do you think they haven’t talked to the parents? They love those young men…
Here’s the thing….adults are responsible for themselves. Once you reach 18 years of age….the world is no longer your babysitter. His friends are under no obligation to babysit anyone, especially when they’ve been drinking too. This is why young people should stay away from alcohol. When you are drunk…..you can not function normal.
And maybe some after, since some people said that he was on speaker phone with the frat bros for some part of the walk.
For some reason nobody will not look into all the similarities between this case and the 43 other murders linked to the Smiley Faced Killers.
Yes I agree. The mother already said she doesn't blame them for anything so why are they so resistant to sharing what they know?
The bartender and bouncer and the cop on the street should all be investigated immediately. Please investigate those people.
Absolutely
I agree, something is very fishy with all of it. I think someone maybe from the bar followed him, there’s no mention of what he actually did at the bar, to be kicked out. He may not have been roofied but drugged by someone, with some other type of drug. The cops did a piss poor job.
For what? They tossed a drunk out of a bar. It's not like this is unusual.
There should definitely be an open trial everyone involved needs to get up on the witness stand and be sworn in and give a statement
@@marthahalsey-on4bn there’d only be a trial if it’s found he was murdered, & if they find who did it, the police don’t seem to think there’s foul play. We may not agree with them, that it’s a closed case, many things are to fishy.
Prayers for Riley's parents to find answers. They deserve to know what happened to their son.
Prayers for strength, healing, and peace.
Nashville really should clean up the area around the river and install more cameras and fencing.
The fight is on for justice. That’s the stage of healing the family is at now. I wonder why a reward hasn’t been raised?
Nashville has always been a sewer.....
Dirty in every repsect.
The whole thing is weird 😢 alot more took place
Let's get the truth.
For some reason nobody will not look into all the similarities between this case and the 43 other murders linked to the Smiley Faced Killers.
Another Fraternity failure! 😢
A "laugh" became deadly..
I feel that Riley unknowingly ingested food or drink that was laced w/ a "party drug". After reviewing the camera footage multiple times it appears to me that it was not alcohol alone that impaired him to such a severe degree. Nashville is a tourist town, famous for its fun night life. Tennessee businessmen & government employees really want this story to go away. If I were the family, I'd arrange to have a private toxicology anaysis done by a consumate professional that works in a different state. That boy was drugged!
100%
Yes feel strongly he was so sad this goes on a lot now days
I'm betting you're very close to the truth. People need to know that its not the strangers in the bar who are putting "knock out" drugs in peoples drinks its the BARTENDERS! The history of the bartenders needs to be checked.
I think you're underestimating the effects of a high blood alcohol level.
Why is it He was kicked out
Of the Bar?
He was with a Group of Friends
Why is he the only one kicked out?
Apparently he and he alone was acting inappropriately.
This is a great question that more people should be asking. According to the bar he was severed 1 drink and 2 waters before being asked to leave due to some interaction that’s not really known. The red flag for me here is where was he before Luke’s bar if this young man was drugged I can say with the utmost confidence that he was not drugged at Luke’s bar, it had to have been roughly 20 minutes beforehand. Being drugged does not bring on immediate effects, it has to process into your system meaning it’s not immediate. There is even a chance nothing was put in his drink specifically but he could have touched something that had the drug on it and it took longer to be absorbed and the effects didn’t hit him until he arrived at Luke’s and I believe he knew something was wrong because he ordered 2 waters along with his drink which means he was trying to flush out the feelings he was experiencing. Once those drugs processed through his system the effects are quick so I can certainly understand why Luke’s bar cut him off and asked him to leave they assumed he was over served and didn’t want to escalate the situation. I hope his family got video evidence from earlier in the night to see how his actions changed though out the evening as this will help to pinpoint where he was truly drugged
Great question should be asked by more people investing
There was no water in his lungs so how did he drown?
Post immersion syndrome
For some reason nobody will not look into all the similarities between this case and the 43 other murders linked to the Smiley Faced Killers.
There often isn’t any water in the lungs at autopsy. In drownings, the lungs usually feel heavy and foam in the airway and bronchial tubes.
utter nonsense @@Cheesecakeyo
@@stevekanyon5765 I am diving deep looking into it. Reading a lot of books.
Also believe he was drugged.
The time Riley was missing that week there was another body found in the river a couple days before Riley was found the same river
It's Tragic..Hope and Pray they find closure..
Stop lying and saying “police found him” THE FAMILY FOUND HIM!
You’re very sensitive and emotional.
Neither found him. It was a river work crew.
@@spookytkid not Riley the guy they wanted to talk to for so long
@@sammyday3341 it’s not about being emotional ur comment was pointless , it’s about stop giving credit to cops who aren’t doing what they should be doing
@@user-pg8gj5gs9uI agree with you 100%
If I would have been there when he was stumbling, I would have not left him alone. How can people let that young man go in his condition…it’s heartbreaking. Riley, if I was there, I would have helped you…RIP ❤️🩹😞
Jealousy, his friends thought he was too perfect so since he wouldn’t try drugs one of them decided to add something to his drink
That's just incredibly stupid and slanderous. Be ashamed.
No, it is Truth.
That's my theory too
You should wait for the toxicology report first before you start blaming people. What happened to Riley should be a huge incentive for you to stay away from alcohol. It will be the smartest thing you could ever do for yourself……don’t drink. Be the responsible one.
That sounds plausible. It would certainly account for the fact that none of his frat brothers offered to see him back to the hotel. I'm sure they are feeling quite a bit of guilt right now.
People get roofied in downtown Nashville all the time. I truly believe foul play was involved. I am glad the family has decided to get a second autopsy done. Prayers they get some answers.
Not sure about Nashville but being a bartender in Atlanta for many years. The bar can be held liable for the horrible thing that happened to him. Throwing him out into the street severely intoxicated! Even if they only served him one drink. Have said prayers for his family especially his Mother and his friends should be ashamed
That bar needs to be investigated there has been many coming forward saying they being drugged there…the whole area is creepy…
I was drugged in a southeast Nashville bar about 10 years ago.
I agree and cameras the owner is rich so take his money they took his life
@@RealOne-gg8hn hope his parents sue the hell outta that bar!can’t believe Luke Bryan associates with that place…
Heartfelt prayers are with Riley Strain family. I pray your prayers are answered and Justice will be served. 🙏
❤️🩹 Riley’s mother broke my heart ❤️🩹It was so so sad 😞
Riley’s step dad also said they haven’t spoke to any of Riley’s friends who were there that night and he would like to. He said he hasn’t spoken to them at all. That’s interesting imo Why wouldn’t the friends be telling them everything they kno. That’s sus to me. The fraternity brothers shld be helping his parents.
Because their lawyers told them not to say anything
Cause there may be more info coming out and lawsuits against those boys if/when they find something other than alcohol in Riley's blood.
They are probably ashamed of their selfs I know I would be if I befriended one of my brothers or sisters and knowing I couldve have done something to prevent the out come
Because College fraternities are notorious for pulling pranks of every Dimension possible
A man with his clothes missing found nakedand dead, but police don't believe foul play is involved 😢 sounds like Police don't want to actually do their job😮so sad
Id have talked to the frat brothers in the beginning.
I right there with you!
Exactly!! Why was this not initially done?;
Think about it. The family and the family friend on TV have suspicions, which is fine and why you hired a PI, yet you have been unable to interview his friends after all this time who evidently have not volunteered to talk with you, yet you are not angry or suspicious of them but seem to direct those emotions toward the police? I would be angry as hell and would have been at their door to find out what the hell was going on between my son and that group that night and why they did not see him back to the hotel. That was the first thing that happened that resulted in the events leading up to the death of your son. The second thing that happened was your son, for whatever reason, decided not to ask that friendly officer for directions back to his hotel even though he was drunk trying to read a GPS in the dark that led him in the wrong direction. And there's always discrepancies in these cases regarding what witnesses saw. Remember the nice woman who was sure the homeless man she saw was wearing Riley's black and white shirt, leading to the conclusion by those who think he was murdered that a homeless person attacked or killed him? Not true. That was the shirt still on his body. I'm still baffled about these friends and why the parents have not had contact with them. And we need to stop absolving his friends for not contacting his parents because they feel guilty. BS. If they felt guilty, they would have been out there searching for him when he was missing like so many others were doing including out-of-towners.
You know, you can’t go to a person’s home and harass them if they don’t want to talk to you or if they have already talked to you. Can’t keep going to their house no matter what your feelings are. You could be arrested for trespassing, etc…. The problem with taking to the parents is that they are upset and think someone has all the answers when they don’t. Then the harassment campaign starts when the parents don’t believe you. It’s always better to retain a lawyer and speak to the parents through your lawyer. No way would I let my friends parents harass or railroad me just because I was there but know nothing of what happened because I was drunk too. Always get a lawyer because they need someone, anyone to blame this on.
The frat bros are lawyered up and been told not to talk, for sure. They won't say a word to anyone but the police and only with their lawyers present.
Your title was deceptive. You said nothing about Police Found the Man they were Look for.
They were referring to the homeless man which they did mention. Title is not deceptive.
Oh wow that saves me the trouble of watching... Thanx
I believe the homeless man...
UA-cam titles always mislead.
Yes they did
There's a troubling rumor in recent years of a newer trend wherein people are getting injected with needles of some type of "roofie"-ing substances, but it's never been a commonly detectable long-lasting substance that was used, and so there haven't been any verifiable toxicology results for patients who go to the hospital reporting it. There have been a few incidents with people feeling a sharp sting when they're out at a club or something, becoming disoriented or passing out, and later after close examination at the hospital, they are able to locate an injection site on the person, despite having no way to know what the drug was. Unfortunately, I think whatever the substance is would be unlikely to be uncovered during whatever battery of tests happen in a typical toxicology report as well. This is of course a very unusual thing, especially in the US (most cases have been in the UK & Europe so far), but in the reports I've seen, there didn't seem to be any particular motive as to why the assailant was injecting people. For instance, a girl went to the club with her friends and she started to lose consciousness on the stairwell, at which point her friends- knowing that she had only had 1 drink and couldn't possibly be that drunk already- called an ambulance. Why inject someone if they are not even alone and you don't plan to rob or assault them? However, it's way easier to jab someone with a needle in passing in a crowded venue and get away with it, I guess, than it would be to go around trying to spike people's drinks. Pretty terrifying stuff, because you can't possibly watch your back at all times and most people are unlikely to be thinking about that when they're out partying. I'm not saying that's what happened here, but it is one, albeit pretty obscure, possibility. I think it's more likely that one of Riley's frat buddies could have offered him a valium or something, if anything aside from alcohol turns out to be involved. You cannot be too careful with pills these days, because any from an unverified source could contain some amount of fentanyl.
I wonder who else Riley might have been associating with at that bar. Seems like he was a very friendly, personable guy, and I heard in one of the reports that he wasn't thrown out of bar for "conduct", but rather some kind of misunderstanding happened because "he was trying to help someone". I have no idea what that means because no other details were provided about the context of his activities at the bar. I'm glad I'm not alone in wanting to know EXACTLY what happened to Riley. Not only is this a super tragic ordeal for his friends and family, but he just has that "nice" look- I can tell he was probably a pretty sweet person, and he reminds me a lot of a boy I had a crush in back when I was fifth grade. It really eats at you to see the world lose someone who had their entire life ahead of them. I am old enough that I could almost be Riley's mom, and these stories shatter your heart. If anyone was involved in some nefarious way, I really want to see that person(s) brought to justice, for my own peace of mind, even as a complete stranger who lives 5 states away. It is just so disgusting and horrific to target someone in their most vulnerable moments.
We send our prayers go out to Riley family and friends. We are praying for healing for Riley family. God Bless 🙏🙏
The sad truth: Riley was insanely drunk and that was his untimely demise; his friends should have stepped up to help him.
But was he roofed as well?
That doesn’t explain anything at all.
Police dropped the ball
@CensoredByUA-cam-xr9bbagree
God bless him and his family
Prayers for the family & loved ones of Riley.
Nashville dropped the ball on this case
For some reason nobody will not look into all the similarities between this case and the 43 other murders linked to the Smiley Faced Killers.
Somebody in the homeless camp are wearing Riley‘s boots!
His pants didn’t fall off in the water .
No water in the lungs- no drown
I’ve heard through the grapevine of talk . There is a couple that lives outside that county . ( partnership in crime with others ) The couple goes out to bars . Watch and look for their victims that have knowledge of money 💴 cash in wallet watching for the bar tenders waiters collecting money or credit cards.. that are drunk.. they get kicked out. The couple gives a Description of the person getting kicked out or they take a picture and then their other tag teaming crime follows him watches him or her the victim and then they put them in another car drive them off take what they need and it’s it’s considered a robbery and they dispose of them. I guess this has been going on for a long time, so maybe the police need to start looking at random couples kind of hanging out just at the bar is kind of you know watching in the bars and then watching outside the bars and see how then you probably could find their little Group of a scoundrels that I’ve been doing this to many many people
Well said. Smart.
I had the same idea. They need to get footage inside that bar and see who got Riley kicked out of the bar.Thats where it started.
I wouldn’t put it past me of the bartender or the bouncers in on this evil group that robs people
Yes everything come to light... read on some Facebook comments they do similar things to women in ..women end up getting TARGETED AND KICKED OUT OF BAR. THen TRAFFICKED. I KNOW TEXA AND NASHVILLE HAVE A DRUG AND TRAFFICKING CONNECTION...SAD WORLD
@@beckyc.2401please read my comment ..there is a group of people at bars that start fights so a person gets kicked out , then gets targeted for human trafficking. I heard this happens in Texas which I know from friends has a trafficking network that runs through Tennessee. UA-cam better not delete my comment
Such a handsome young man. It is a shame his life was cut short. He had a lot of potential for the future. Prayers for his family. His mother said that he was her best friend!💔😢🙏
I’m sure it is guilt on his friends hearts.
I hope they seek therapy.
Friends involved drugged him
Agreed!
Agree
I believe there is definitely foul play involved. I wouldn't give up either if I was a family member. LE just wants to close the case.
I heard that people in the area had been roofied and robbed inside the clubs. Hard to find that statistic though.
Yes many have come forward on tic tock with there stories..
this is so suspicious. I was roofied 40yrs ago. I was with my mom having a drink. After 2 Piña Colada, I became really loud (like I couldn't hear.) I went to the bathroom & never came out. My Mom came in & got me & she said I was passed out in the stall. Called an ambulance & the ER Dr. told her I was just drunk. Which she knew was not true. She drove home & I went to sleep & woke up 4 hours later, not remembering any of it. It was an awful feeling. 3 guys were trying to get me to go to the Bahamas with them..... So don't say this doesn't happen. Had the ER Dr. taken a blood sample, it would have showed in 24 hours. Cover your glasses folks
I think the bouncers were in on it,they roofied,and called someone to follow him and robb him but it went wrong.
IMO he was set-up. I would not be surprised if the frat buddies got him in that altered state, let him go walking solo and a little later went looking for him only to take advantage of him. In actuality they probably never wanted him in their frat, for reason undisclosed, and gave him a head start out that bar.
Why are the avoiding the family?
If you have nothing to hide. Something is definitely off...... someone has to have seen something or heard something. Look at those cameras again and check vehicles
I think his one or all of his fraternity brothers, maybe as a joke, maybe he made one of them mad or Riley was no fun and wanted to get rid of him for the night. Possibly jealously, I thought he was seeing someone.
Fraternities do some messed up things to each other.
While in college, my son joined a fraternity. He said you NEVER leave a frat brother alone like this young man was.
I know that everyone keeps talking about Riley being drugged. I really doubt that. These guys were probably drinking at the hotel room before they went out. Was probably doing shots at the bar that he didn't purchase. they said he Bought 1 drink and 2 waters. They don't say what he consumed.When it comes to hsi frat brothers, guy leave each other like that all of the time. I can't tell you how many times my brother has told me his friends literally left him at a club in another state. So from that time forward he drove himself and wouldn't drink. it's just what guys do. I do however think that there was foul play involved. He probably chose the Tempo bldg instead of the Tempo hotel in his phone and was following the map directions there, which is why he went the wrong way. The Tempo bldg was just around the bend from where he saw the cop, which is why he didn't ask for directions. He thought he was almost there. But something happened (robbed maybe) and ended up in the water. This happened in the criminal justice complex, just a few yards from at least 1 cop, and there were several others looking around for someone breaking car windows. There were several cop cars driving back and forth. The cops missed the altercation or didn't hear it. They are embarrassed that this kid was murdered so close to police activity, in front of police cameras, so they tried to sweep it under the rug as quickly as possible. All of the bldgs in that area are all criminal justice bldgs and should have tons of cameras on them. I know they had to have caught something.
For some reason nobody will not look into all the similarities between this case and the 43 other murders linked to the Smiley Faced Killers.
@@stevekanyon5765 very similar to Smiley Face....have been saying it since reports of him missing.
He very well could have been drugged it's not unheard of here in Nashville. They were a 2 other bars before the last one.
I’m so so sad his Frat Buddies did NOT walk Riley back to the hotel. Really? They could not spend 10 minutes of their time to walk him to the hotel room and 10 minutes back to their “party”?
How absolutely disgusting NOT to take care of your Frat Buddy
Looking forward for more updates
I’m heartbroken for his momma. Beautiful boy just starting his life. So sad
While in college my brother was slipped something at a bar to be robbed and left in the middle of a field. His memory is missing hours of time. Scary stuff!
Why wasn’t the homeless camp searched?
The Idaho two year missing person just solved is also the answer to this case. 40 year old man homeless who he befriended is the suspect.
He employed his murderer
Cops have the detention centers camara footage and refuses to release them. That’s his last whereabouts not before the bridge
Nancy Grace knows how things go down. Thankful she is Loud.❤
There's no way the river is pulling off his cowboy boots, socks & jeans... but not boxers?
Foul play all day.
He had his socks on
So agree should talk to them in the begining . Why did they not reach out to the family i sure would got my kids to if they were in this situation . Hopefully this gives kids a light .
Riley.😢 Rest In the Arms of Jesus
Death by suffocation by a homeless man who yelled out to his friends by the river that he was with a man who was drunk and told them not to worry. He found Riley in the bushes where he had stumbled and took advantage of the situation.
I do think that is most likely. Some guy filmed the guys' tent on YT and he does searches. He said the vagrant yelled at him and although he carries, was a bit 'put off' by the guy. He was going to go back and talk to some people while filming. No one should do that unless armed, of course
I don't trust LE in this situation. I'll wait for more FACTS.
Sorry i agree with Nancy Grace.
That was my problem why didn’t they follow him and try to look for him
3 homeless people took rylee jeans and boots. They beat him up and threw him in the river in bad shape
Most likely.
There was no injuries on him from the autopsy-no foul play!!
Homeless people rarely commit crimes. He may have passed out and they took his clothes and died of hypothermia or whatever he drank. Go to Portland Oregon where there are hundreds of homeless. They rarely commit crimes
@@PatriciaSuhr-jx2zh And then the sweet homeless people threw him in the river?????? Homeless people are usually drug addicts - especially those living in these encampments. Yes, Riley was stumbling drunk but he met his fate in that homeless encampment.
Yep that's what I think also..
A true friend wouldn't or I should say shouldn't leave their Friend / Buddy alone walking drunk after being kicked out of A Bar. These Fraternal Brothers / Group I feel did " dropped the ball " they should of never let Riley Strain leave totally on his own. And completely in left him when they could of called a Cab or taken Riley back to where he was staying. Where is the " true love & care & concern & looking out for their Friend " at ? That's my Observation from a far off. Second is this. I got a question about these Fraternal Brothers . Don't they do Pranks with One another ? And some can be serious & wild & bad ? Maybe something happened to Riley through them. I believe this Fraternity is involved in some way or another. I truly feel in my heart & in my spiritual being these Fraternal Brothers really messed up. And.was not there at all for Riley Strain. Nor helped him. And are involved in one way or another. I pray that the truths come out . And through the Toxicology Report brings the truths too. And I pray that whoever is involved in anyway will have great conviction & God won't let them rest . Till they tell the truth.
They were Frat brothers, not really friends.
Look for the boots! They were not pulled off by the river. Somebody has them.
Frat bros …yes!! Have a chat with them for sure . that was my first thought right out the gate.
you think the family is going to somehow unearth something from the frat brothers that the cops failed to find out? seems pretty doubtful
I just can’t fathom why his friends left him on his own I could never. My Heart aches for his Family God Bless🙏🙏
This is so sad!
Well they sure didn't take care of him or check on him either!!
Boys should take a lie detector test.
Please understand I'm a big fan of this channel and I think you do an amazing job. There's a lot of hard work behind what you bring to the table and it doesn't go unnoticed. Taste of Country is an asset to the YT community and I'm not going anywhere. Nor do I think anyone else should either. Which makes the one criticism I have make me feel like kind of a jerk. But I need to say it. Something needs to be said about the conspiracy theory you mentioned:
I've been drugged 3 times in my life. I've often recounted it as 2 because for some reason my neighbor always mentally slips out of the category for me. I'll get to that. For context I am currently a 50 year old female; everything below except the neighbor happened in my thirties.
The first time from what we can tell from the videos and receipts from another bar a couple miles away, the man who drugged me was 40ish tourist with a South London-ish accent. After cordially saying goodnight to me and my friends (all others were male), he left the bar immediately after drugging me, got in a cab, went to his hotel bar, and left on his flight in the morning. Before I even woke up (thankfully in my own bed).
The second time we don't know who did it but I was hit immediately after I left my first shift at a bar. I'd had zero alcohol; just a shift drink poured right in front of me by the female bartender, after all the customers had left. The last thing I remember was my hand on the door as I said goodnight to everyone. They found me trying to swim the gravel parking lot. All my money from work was intact, my clothes were intact, I *felt* intact and there were cameras outside that shown no one ever past by me, on foot or otherwise. Again, thankfully, I woke up in my bed.
After that it (sort of) never happened again to me -- but while I was working (bartender) I caught 3 other men trying to drug girls. Two of them were college kids (both offenders and victims) and the other was an older man we were in the process of kicking out of the bar. He was the only one who gave a reason: he was pissed at her for getting him kicked out. I'd heard of several other attempts at other bars throughout the years and a few were male. Robbery had always been the motive.
When I was 41 my female neighbor, about ten years older than me and ironically from Tennessee, slipped Ativan into the only drink I had at her house -- one she insisted I drank and took a curious amount of time mixing. I missed the entire next day and a sizable opportunity. Another, better neighbor found me passed out in Mary's front yard and brought me home. I'm not even sure it was Ativan -- I'm only guessing because it's one of several prescriptions she had on her kitchen counter.
What were the motives? Some are obvious, some aren't. I...believe...the first guy just got off on being able to slip in, mess someone up as an ego stroke, and slip right back out. Or maybe it was practice. Who knows? The second, I don't even know who did it (no inside cameras) let alone why. As for Mary the only thing I can put together is that she's a hardcore alcoholic who (her words on other occasions) just wanted me to "loosen up."
As far as men go, a staggering number of victims never report it -- although there are usually only 2 reasons given for drugging a male: Robbery, or that other one. Men are taught from a very young age not to whine, to handle their own business, that emasculation is something to keep hidden, that you're weak if you can't hold your alcohol and someone robs you, etc. The statistics are even further damaged by the millions of male children left to fend for themselves on the street that never report the criminal acts against them. So when giving stats make sure you factor that in because statistics are only true for the people who participate in them. That said, there is STILL a wide gulf between the ratio of male and female victimization.
As far as toxicology goes, in a still-breathing specimen you have less than 24 hours before most things like Royhpnol are gone from the system -- which is why it makes things so hard to prove for victims who may have already metabolized the drug. Worse still, the blood alcohol of a body found in water rises severely (why I don't fully understand -- google it) while other drugs, depending on facts I don't pretend to know, seem to disappear altogether. Drowning (dry or otherwise) does a lot to damage organs, blood and other soft tissues, which is why an ME will usually go into the bone marrow of larger undisturbed bones. Which bones also currently eludes me.😅 Sorry about that.
My point is, just because we may not understand the motive doesn't mean there isn't one. I will concede that there are motives to every last little thing we as human beings do -- whether they are hidden from others or even from ourselves. We have to allow for doubt when it comes to things that we may never know -- not push them aside as conspiratorial. Unless the speaker is wearing a tinfoil hat, that is. Please try to be more sensitive to others when calling something you don't understand a "conspiracy." It's like telling thousands of people what they suffered is invalid because there's no motive. More so, it doesn't help us get any closer to what happened to Riley with a closed mind. I'm not claiming it's some "Happy Face Killers" thing because I definitely don't believe that. But something happened to him and we shouldn't count anything out until we know for sure.
If anything in here offended you I'm truly sorry because that's not my intention at all. I'm just trying to keep the conversation going, with as few rash (or offensive) decisions along the way.
All along Ive been saying he was drugged 1 drink. And 2 glasses water
Just because you are not looking at someone doesn’t mean they are innocent! Now that you have given plenty of time for his so called friends to get their story straight you need to bring them in and question them! Seems to me that they have a lot to hide, and that the authority’s know little about how to conduct an investigation! The parents are simply blind struck by the death of their child!
Why were the police still looking for someone after they said they closed their investigation?
Heartbreaking 💔
Prayers 🕊️💔🕊️✝️🛐🌎🙏🙏 Love ya Mom and Dad this was so hurtful to watch and im holding to my babies daily with much love ❤❤❤ take care of yourself ❤️😢❤
You mean the family has not talked to his frat brothers yet? What? Those boys should have already went to see them! Man up! Where are THEIR parents? If my son had been one of them, I would have taken him to see them out od respect, myself!
I hope the guys soul is at peace condolences still 🙏
A lot of the answers to Riley's demise that night may have started at the hotel with his fraternity brothers and continue throughout the evening including whatever went wrong at Luke's 32 Bar
The only comfort is reading the comments. So happy to read love and compassion.
Yep I think the brothers had something to do with this
Praying for the parents rip Riley ur amazing boy 🙏
I believe the frat brothers had something to do with this if not it could have been the cop and that's why there are no other videos seeing him pass
My step son I raised for 26 yrs hated me when he started doing drugs at a young age of 14..sadly his father my now X would never be the bad guy and I was the one that held him accountable until I couldn't because he was an adult...but at his cousins wedding where we had not talked in a year he came up to me with a glass of wine ...umm Im not stupid..dumped it im sure it had been tainted sadly
Ask the frat boys what happened
@@user-vv5vd2fd1j I'm with you 100 percent!!
What about the child on the spectrum that went missing at the same time. Where are the press conferences for him!
There's been plenty of searched for Sebastián.
Everywhere, his dad comes onto chat and talks
my opinion, foul play, a gay man took his pants phone wallet boots...i think something more might of happened to him. He had to be given something, then he died and his body put in river
friends are scared to be arrested. im sure they know much more about that night.🙏❣️🙏
Yes foul play
I have thought and said from the beginning, that for one why was Riley the only one so messed up and wasted and was the only one out of his so called friends group that gets kicked out and was more wasted? The group of guys he was with knows more and someone had to have gotten him in the state that he was in at the bar! Doesn't make sense. So sad!! God bless his parents and RIP Riley.
It's too bad that Riley talked to a cop & a couple to bad they didn't help him, a little kindness might have saved his life as they new he was stumbling around.
Hey...you have a great announcer voice!!
As someone who lived 30 miles north of Nashville, I can tell you that Nashville, as well as most other Cities, can be a scary place depending where you go and when, I lost my beautiful 42 years old daughter in early 2018 in Nashville, due to a man that shot her execution style in her head, My life changed forever that day, My heart goes out to this family, So sad that this wonderful son with such potential is gone, I am praying for his family to get the answers and what closure they can, 😢
The best theory I have heard is he went down to the river to urinate and undid his belt and stumbled in the river-that makes perfect sense. The autopsy showed no foul play involved.
If so how come there was no water in his lungs
Family has not seen/received the autopsy report, takes 6-9 weeks sometimes 3 MONTHS yet u got special access to autopsy?
@@menagifto4584 the toxicology takes that long but -they can examine the body in a day……to rule out no physical foul play. Do you have a link to the 2nd autopsy??
Similarities to what happened in Moscow, Idaho.
