It does help.
Actually, Riley did indeed try to purchase another drink but was refused so he had to purchase water instead.
Right, videos that have not been released to the public or eyewitness statements. Although I tend to take eyewitness statements with a heavy side of salt, jmo
CYA.
I ETA'd the restaurant menu too.
The source of that information is ultimately from his Fraternity Brothers who not only declined to escort him back to his hotel, but also told a false tale that though they desperately wanted to leave with RS (yeah-right), psychotic bar employees insisted they pay their tabs first- all in an age when tabs are secured in advance with a credit card and auto charged.
The drone footage and photos that have come out since this article leave me feeling as though Loney as ZERO credibility. I can’t imagine why this person would say it’d be nearly impossible to fall into the water. Is she talking about the same water we are?Not trying to convince anyone, but this article that was quoted in Thread 1 really make me think & look for more photos.
"The area where Strain was last seen was in a brushy area with cliffs that would make it nearly impossible for the missing student to have fallen into the river, Loney said..."

I'm totally confused myself. Somehow we've gone from a homeless person was spotted wearing a similar shirt that may be Riley's, to it was Riley's shirt, to it was Riley's shirt and it was covered in vomit, to police don't care about the shirt, to the police are covering it up.
This is just me, but I think when Riley is found, the shirt will be found.
He talked to his mom from around 7:30-8pm.
According to his stepdad, the group was at their 2nd bar at that point. The stepdad said RS didn't sound drunk. Then they apparently went to bar #3. RS had one drink & 2 waters and was booted from that bar by 9:30. So I don't know that he looked drunk at that bar, but he'd had more than one drink by then. Plus whatever they had at the hotel before going out.

MOO
I guess he and his mom were really close, and it sounds like this is just something that he did. If he was teased for it, it doesn't sound like he cared. I know that's not something I ever would have done, as my parents would have been horrified. "Hey mom, watch this!"
My point exactly..

I've been wanting the same thing re: facts but unfortunately there is just a lot of misinformation. I think mostly because nothing is consolidated and we are getting reports from the family on mostly facebook, sporadic reports from searchers on X, and very little from the police (which could be strategic who knows). As far as I understand it, the shirt is based on a very early eyewitness report from a woman who noticed a very clean collar of a shirt on an unhoused person while she was bringing food to the the encampment down there. There is not evidence for or against this report, but unfortunately, the woman could not produce any photos or videos to back up her claims.
So I’m assuming that with this talk, his parents have stopped talking about his still graduating in May. So sad for them.
From my Nashville experience memory, we couldn't can't enter bridges right at the river (like along Gay St). We've crossed the Korean Memorial Bridge and the pedestrian bridge. Those bridges were high up above the river to allow for river traffic. We had to enter the KM bridge a block or two "inland" from the river. I think the pedestrian bridge also had stairs closer to the river so you wouldn't go so far inland to access the bridge. My point is, RS probably couldn't access a bridge directly off Gay Street.
