ST. LOUIS — More than three weeks have passed since Riley Strain, 22, a student from the University of Missouri, was found dead in the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tennessee. His family continues to seek answers about the circumstances surrounding his death on the night of March 8.
Strain’s parents and stepparents recently spoke with Brian Entin of News Nation, expressing their ongoing quest for clarity and closure. The state of Tennessee is currently investigating the incident, which includes reviewing surveillance footage from the four bars Strain visited the night he disappeared.
Despite police labeling the death as accidental, the family is skeptical, given the circumstances and the absence of water in Strain’s lungs or visible injuries on his body. In an interview with NewsNation, Strain’s stepfather expressed doubt that Strain could have accidentally fallen into the river, suggesting instead that someone might have been involved. The family has requested a second autopsy, hoping for clarity.
