His stepfather told Banfield that when Riley turned off Church onto Gay St to the last time he was seen on cop cam was less than 3 minutes. Further he says, 5 to 7 minutes of missing time is after that.So the video of him passing the police officer has him walking upright and not slurring his words, even though he spoke very few.
Is it possible that Riley knew where he was going? He'd been walking on Gay for a couple of minutes next to the Cumberland River? His direction of travel does not include a structure that is similar to the name of his hotel, the TempoYou would think that if he was really in trouble he could had asked for directions back to hotel as he was an out of towner.

Riley's parents and others have spoken out about Riley being kind, considerate, polite. Sir fits him. This is just one of the saddest tragedies thus far in 2024. This could have been our own sons or loved ones. He's an American College student on the cusp of graduating who will never be married nor experience the joy of children of his own.Obviously they were not there to track him down, and even referred to him as “Sir.”
Unless there was some nefarious plot to get him to that bridge to throw him in, you really can’t point the finger at anybody here. I mean, how many times a night do big cities, especially big tourist towns like Nashville, have other inebriated people kicked out of establishments and/or encounter police officers? And the vast, vast majority of them don’t end up drowning the same night.
Sad for his family, but this event is really an anomaly.
