Police Locate the Body of Missing College Student Riley Strain
The body of college student Riley Strain, who went missing on March 8, has been pulled from the Cumberland River near Nashville.
The University of Missouri student’s body was recovered about eight miles from downtown Nashville, where video had last placed him before he was reported missing after a night on the town with his fraternity.
Police Chief John Drake said the body was found at about 7:30 a.m. Friday, according to The Tennesseean.
Strain was wearing the shirt in which he was seen on videos taken the day he disappeared.
“This is not the outcome that anyone hoped for — especially his parents and everyone who loved him,” Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell wrote in a post on X.
