Arms around his family.

Good that the river finally released him, sorrow as reality sinks in.

He was one of the good ones.

Riley Strain search: Why aren’t police releasing new video?

New video that has not been released to the public offers additional views of missing Mizzou student Riley Strain walking around in Nashville.

www.newsnationnow.com

When asked why they are not sharing the video publicly, police said that it’s very poor quality and doesn’t prove anything other than that Strain was around the bridges where his phone pinged for the last time.

Strain family friend Chris Dingman shared additional details from the video, saying it was captured by a surveillance camera high above the Woodland Street Bridge and the timestamp on it is 9:57 p.m., which makes it the last of several videos to document Strain’s movements.

Dingman says it shows Strain walking under the Woodland Street Bridge and then stopping at a lamppost for about six to seven seconds, where he seems to be doing something on his phone.

Strain then continues northward toward a second bridge, the James Robertson Parkway Bridge. And the last time he’s seen on camera is when he passes a yellow sign just before he reaches that bridge.

Quoting myself to add photo of the yellow sign mentioned in the above article.

The title of the reporter’s tweet seems to hint that it’s him. Plus the family preparing for a press conference.

But even if it’s not Riley, somebody’s loved one has been found.

I just want to take some of his Mom’s pain for her. Just so sad. RIP Riley

Riley Strain family to hold press conference in downtown Nashville

They tweeted an old article pommy, they got me too. I thought it would be weird for them to hold a press conference when the body hasn’t even been identified yet.

Yeah, I noticed the article was dated 3/19, but the tweet was from this morning, so I left it...but I think I'll delete now.

Nashville police are responding to a body found in the Cumberland River. It's NOT confirmed if it is related to the missing #RileyStrain . The red marker is where officials are this morning and the yellow circle is where #Strain went missing.

How can social media hinder the search?I It's not we are calling in with our opinions and theories. We are just on her speculating. Somebody must be watching this site, but they shouldn't be going to LE with all our banter.

I'm pretty sure they are not talking about WS. We aren't social media. Plus we actually have terms of service here; we don't arbitrarily accuse everyone and sundry of murder or abduction, do character assassinations on various individuals close to the investigation. It's all the gonzo individuals who are trying to make a name for themselves on X, TikTok and YT who he's probably referring to. It's the wild west out there. Sending people on wild goose chases, interfering with legitimate search groups and generally muddying the waters with wild theories and accusations which only adds to the stress and worry of the parents. Their son is probably deceased and people are treating this as the next Pokemon challenge.
