The family of missing Missouri student Riley Strain participated in a press conference Tuesday afternoon after asking the United Cajun Navy to help them organize search parties. The press conference was held at Public Square Park in downtown Nashville at 1 p.m. Strain’s mother was in tears as his stepfather, Chris Whiteid, expressed his gratitude for everything that’s been done so far to help find Strain. “We appreciate more than you’ll ever know the outpouring that we’ve received from the community, from the press, and everyone else involved,” Whiteid said. “Our goal is still to bring Riley home. We feel that is still a very pliable goal.” Strain and his fraternity brothers from Mizzou come to Nashville for a fraternity event. They were reportedly staying at the Tempo Hotel downtown. Strain went to Luke’s 32 Bridge on Broadway Friday night, where records show he purchased and was served one alcoholic drink and two waters. Strain’s mother, Michelle Whiteid, said she FaceTimed with him just a few hours before he went missing. At 9:35 p.m.: Strain was kicked out of the bar. In a statement, the TC Restaurant Group, which owns and operates the bar, said its security team “made a decision based on our conduct standards to escort him from the venue through our Broadway exit at the front of our building.” He was followed down the stairs with one of his friends, according to the bar. However, his friend reportedly did not exit and returned upstairs. Around 9:45 p.m.: Surveillance video from Downtown Smoke & Vape Shop on Church Street caught Riley stumbling and falling in a parking lot at 3rd Avenue and Church Street. At 9:47 p.m.: Surveillance video caught Strain crossing 1st Avenue North to Gay Street. #rileystrain #rileystrainnashville #nashville #rileystrainmissing #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #crimetok #murdermystery #murder #breakingnews #news #complex #latestnews #trending #trendingreels #netflix #documentary #documentaries #fyp #tiktok #fypage #viralvideo #viraltiktok #missingmom #viral #viralvideo #virall #trendingvideo #scary #scarytok #missing #missinggirl #tennessee #franklin #truecrimetiktok #truecrimeanytime #truecrimestory #truecrimetiktoks #investigate #investigation #fypシ #fypシ゚viral #fypp #storytime #autumn #fall #xybcafypforyou #paranormal #paranormalactivity #paranormaltiktok #truestory #storytime #story #conspirancytheory #conspiracy #fyp #fypシ #fypage #creepypasta #creepy #creepyfacts #creepytok #scarystories #scary #scarytiktoks #scarystory #greenscreenvideo #trending #viral #nancygrace #chroniclesofolivia
