Tennessee authorities are searching for a student from Missouri who vanished while on a trip to Nashville. The kid was going to be in Nashville.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department reports that friends of Riley Strain, who is 22 years old, were the last people to see him on Friday night at a pub located on Broadway.
According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the member of the Delta Chi fraternity who is a student at the University of Missouri had come to Tennessee with the club in order to participate in their annual spring formal.
As reported by the Post Dispatch, FOX station WZTV, and NBC affiliate WSMV-TV, friends said that they had seen him for the last time at around ten o’clock local time, after his expulsion from Luke’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink, which is Luke Bryan’s restaurant and bar.
The Post Dispatch claimed that Strain’s stepfather, Christopher Whiteid, said that Strain had phoned his fraternity brothers after leaving the pub and informed them that he was going to return to their hotel. Whiteid made this observation.
On the other hand, pals were unable to locate Strain via Snapchat, and phone calls went straight to voicemail, as reported by WZTV and WSMV-TV, which is an affiliate of NBC.
Based on the information provided by the Post Dispatch, a fraternity member reported Strain missing on Saturday and informed police about his efforts to get in touch with his comrade.
According to Strain’s family, the last position of his cellphone was between Gay Street and James Robertson Parkway, which is less than a mile away from the pub, as reported by WKRN-TV, which is an ABC station.
Since then, the police have made an effort to ping Strain’s phone, but they have been unable, according to WZTV and WSMV-TV. The local hospitals and prisons have also been searched for Strain by the police, but they have not been successful.
According to Whiteid, who was quoted in the Post Dispatch, surveillance video revealed that Strain may have made an error in direction when returning to the motel.
In an interview with WKRN-TV, Strain’s mother, Michelle Whiteid, referred to her son as “a great kid.” According to what she shared with the station, “We miss him and we want him back so badly.”
In addition, the mother said to WKRN-TV that she maintains consistent communication with her son, but that she has not had any communication from Strain since she called him a few hours before he vanished.
In her explanation, Michelle said, “He is constantly texting me, calling me, and FaceTiming me.” “He never fails to keep in contact with me. It is easy to communicate with him.
In a statement that was made on Monday, officials from the University of Missouri said that they had been “in touch with the family and authorities in Nashville who are working to find Strain.”
According to Angela King Taylor, who is serving as the interim vice chancellor for Student Affairs, “the safety of our community is our highest priority on this campus.” During this time of continued search, we are keeping Riley’s family in our thoughts. All of the assistance that we are able to provide will be made available to them, and we strongly urge anybody who is in need of assistance to get in touch with our counseling services.
It has been reported by the MNPD that Strain has a height of 6 feet and 5 inches, a slim frame, blue eyes, and light brown hair. He was last seen wearing a black and brown button-up shirt with a black chest pocket, blue pants, brown boots, and a black Apple watch, according to the police. All of his belongings were black.
