There was a student at South Carolina who fell into the quarry when he was drunk. Falling into a river isn’t crazy
He is not the only piss drunk person to be on Broadway though. People don’t just fall into rivers. However, the theory about him resting against the ledge (exactly like the police are doing in that picture) and drunkenly falling in does make some sense. And the cop was supposedly nearby, an attacker would have a hard time being stealthy.
I dunno. I hope they find him. Seems like he’ll float up somewhere.

I am of the line of thinking that he drowned accidentally.
But as someone who lives close to downtown Nashville, I can confirm that location where his phone was last pinged has a high likelihood of there being a homeless population staying there.

Someone posted this screenshot from that police officers body cam footage in that Twitter thread. It looks like a broken window in the red truck. Not saying it has anything to do with it, but just another oddity in this case. Also seems to indicate recent criminal activity in that exact location.

The body cam footage was on because the policies were responding to a burglary. Hence the broken window. At least that’s what the news here reported

25 seconds after his interaction with the officer, as the officer turns back around, he is gone. Perhaps spooked by the officer he heads in to the wooded area by the river bank...all downhill from there...literally and figuratively.

We have found his debit card, so "the only evidence we have so for at all, an anecdotal, is scorched on here..." is wholly inaccurate you simpleton. The woman purportedly seeing a man wearing a shirt isn’t anything to note at this moment. It’s unproven and pure speculation. Was it precisely the exact same shirt? Same brand? Color? Size? Why wasn’t anything else said? Where’s footage of it?
Do you realize how likely it is for one to mistake that?

The last text he sent was to a girl that read, "Good lops."
This is also informative:
Maybe something was slipped into his drink? It's happened to me before (in Baton Rouge).

The last person to potentially see Mr Strain claimed that he caused a “commotion” at a Nashville homeless encampment on the night of 8 March where his bank card was found, adding that he was “very intoxicated.”
“We heard a commotion. We looked back up. He almost fell over. The last bush right there caught him,” an unidentified man who lives in the camp told WZTV.
“He was very, very, very intoxicated. I never seen anybody stumble that hard before,” the man added. “I yelled get up. They said, ‘He’s just drunk. He’s okay’.’’
However, Mr Strain’s stepfather, Chris Whiteid, cast doubt on theories that his stepson had been suffering from the effects of alcohol on the night he disappeared.
“I’ve done a fair amount of drinking in my life, and I still question whether it was alcohol or something else,” Mr Whiteid told NBC News, referring to how Mr Strain appeared to have lost control of his balance in CCTV footage.
Mr Whiteid also claimed that since his stepson’s disappearance, he has received messages from up to 10 people who claimed they were drugged while visiting bars in Nashville, according to NBC News.

I doubt that truck window broke itself. Property crime in Nashville, like a lot of places, is through the roof the last few years.
I wonder what kind of “disturbance” Strain got into in the homeless encampment?

I am leaning towards this. He was sober enough to be let in the bar, then was served 1 drink, and some water, and was wasted. Yes, his friends could have been passing him drinks/shots, and he could have drank a lot before, but just by the way he is acting in the camera footage, it seems like he was drugged. The cop body cam footage shows him having a normal interaction with the cop. If he was slipped some kind of lab chemical, then its possible he was going in and out of some kind of psychosis from the drug, and was able to have a sober-seeming exchange with the cop for a second. idk just spitballin' here.

The bank is very steep near the body cam location.
They found his check card in the woods near there.
The surface temp of the Cumberland was around 55 when he went missing. It wouldn’t take much for a drunk person to drown in the cold & current.

NEW: Cheatham County Sheriff Tim Binkley tells me “we did not find a body at Cheatham dam.” He says they are done for the day. But our affiliate WKRN reports they were still sifting through debris this afternoon in the search for Riley Strain.

this part is chilling...officer turns around and he's already vanished. he barely missed whatever happened. and whatever happened it happened there bc his phone stops pinging and he is no longer picked up on security cameras.

I’m leaning toward the roofie theory too. Being his size I assume he has a good alcohol tolerance and if he was with his friends all day how is he the only one stumbling drunk.

You’re just a drama queen. Situation has nothing to do with you or anyone here. Just looking to gossip

Really scary. Can't help but relate to this event being someone who is less than a decade removed from college and who was born/raised & lived in downtown Nashville for nearly 5 years upon college graduation. As someone who heavily binged drank socially from my college years thru my early/mid 20s living the downtown Nashville booze life, I quite literally have "been there" like Riley was that night. I was lucky as hell that I fortunately managed to never find legal or physical trouble, but man I easily could have a few times down there over the years.
I will say I don't remember anyone ever getting "drugged" or even thinking they were. If people are actually being drugged at bars now in DT Nashville, that's a new thing that wasn't there when I was doing the Nashville living thing just a few years ago. Perhaps I might have been oblivious to stuff like that, but I really doubt it tbh considering I never heard about this stuff down there until this past week. But it does get sloppy AF on Broadway and you can easily find yourself in some drunken trouble. Thousands of drunkards surrounding hundreds of sober officers/bouncers is a perfect recipe to potentially find yourself in either legal and/or physical trouble.
I will say though...Nashville has a serious problem imo with the overall bouncer/private security culture in the entertainment district. Nashville bouncers generally are not the brightest bulbs in the box. Like, just some hilariously stupid people who probably harbor insecurities over being bullied as kids or something. I witnessed with my own eyes SEVERAL instances over the years where private security at these bars decided to go full on thug criminal on people just because the bouncers became "pissed off" at someone being drunk at a bar in Nashville. Stuff like taking someone under a staircase or wherever they knew camera blind spots were to beat someone's arse just because before ejecting them happened often. Of course these bouncers are/were never charged with anything by MNPD. In the eyes of MNPD private security members on lower broadway are apparently incapable of being dishonest. They always got the benefit of the doubt over the drunkard they just criminally whooped. And now as a result of this culture that has emboldened bouncer thuggery, multiple people have literally unnecessarily died due to this Nashville culture of bouncer negligence and deviance. Had like 6 bouncers gang tackle someone until he fricking suffocated to death. No charges for anyone of course. Had another bouncer just last month decide to sucker punch someone in the back of the skull at Tin Roof near Vandy only for the poor 25 year old dude to hit his head directly on the pavement, which fricking killed him. Only aggravated assault chares have been dished out so far of course (bouncer was black, dude was white so gotta be careful in an election year I guess!)
While I personally got sick of that lifestyle by the time I was 25/26 and have not gone boozing downtown now since the pandemic era began, don't get me wrong, a night on the town in Nashville can be awesomely fun. However, there is some serious systemic issues overall with how things are ran down there. One can go from having a great night out to having things turn disastrously on a dime.
Bottom line: If you are getting blacked out in Nash, FFS make sure you have a good group of actual friends accompanying you along the way. Being drunkenly confused and alone wondering in downtown Nashville can get you a night in jail or far worse as we are seeing now with this tragedy that is unfolding.

Never leave your drink unattended. Take that fricker to the pisser with you if you have to.

This story is baffling to me.
How does a dude that big go missing that quick?
I think he had to fall in the water but where is his body?
Very sad.
