Thanks.James Robertson, the second bridge.

I agree. I even felt that a foul play scenario offered more hope for his survival. But as you say it is more or less obvious what happened.As much as I wanted to believe there was an alternate explanation for Riley's disappearance, there is just too much that points at him just falling into a river that was 7' higher than when his debit card was found. Likely he stepped over the railing to urinate or vomit again, became disoriented, fell and lost his CC just before he went into the Cumberland. I hope the river returns his body to the family soon.

I’m from the NYC area and I have to agree.And: MOO: if life deals me a hand where I have the misfortune of going missing. I pray I go missing in Nashville, where strangers with rubber gloves put themselves in biological harm’s way to search debris for me, and where LE shows drone footage of searching for me on dams 40 miles away, and where thousands of locals are scrolling their photos for traces of me, and where passersby actively remember worrying about me at 6’7”. Salute to Nashville. I’m in New York City most days and I promise you, that isn’t here.
Honestly, I’ve never seen something like this. His family and the community are so truly invested in finding him, and LE seems to be doing great releasing enough info for people to come forward with good tips and sightings.And: MOO: if life deals me a hand where I have the misfortune of going missing.

Yep. Both Apple and Google have a LE platform where you can request all the data available to see if any of it is useful, given you have the proper authorization to do so.I wonder who Riley was talking with on the phone when he stopped to talk with the couple? I know he had replied to a texted message from a new girl he had just started seeing saying "Good lops" which in my opinion is supposed to be "Good lots" but it sounds like this was an actual call. We know his Facetime call with his Mom had taken place earlier in the evening. Maybe this was the call to one of his friends to let them know he would meet them back at the hotel? Even though they don't have his phone, could they still see what he was doing on it? Things he may have Googled, places he may have mapped, texted messages, calls, apps he was using etc...?
So it was a homeless man who fell down the embankment and landed in brush and rocks just above the river's edge. Folks from the Cajun Navy were already in a boat on the river and heard a call for help and went to his rescue. They said he fell about 30 feet down a steep, vertical embankment.Man rescued from river embankment during search for Riley Strain
The family said that they think Riley was talking with his fraternity brother(s).I wonder who Riley was talking with on the phone when he stopped to talk with the couple?

So LE and his family likely have all of this information already then.Yep. Both Apple and Google have a LE platform where you can request all the data available to see if any of it is useful, given you have the proper authorization to do so.
I would think so, as I've seen that data retrieved fairly quickly in other cases on here. The Apple information for sure, as they knew that he still had battery power when his phone stopped transmitting. It doesn't look like they have any new location information, which Google could potentially have helped with if he was logged into his account.So LE and his family likely have all of this information already then.
Oh. Riley looks so much like him. It’s hard to see his parents’ faces.
I can only imagine how heartbreaking that is, and how it must feel like a betrayal to Riley to admit it. The sad truth is if he were alive, he’d have shown up by now.Riley Strain’s Stepfather Says Family Are Holding Difficult ‘Conversations’ About Fate of Missing Student: ‘Everybody’s Thinking It’
“I’ve never gone this long without talking to him,” [his mother] said. “He just always wants to make sure that his mama is okay, no matter what. He’s such a great kid.”
