The body of Riley Strain, a 22-year-old University of Missouri student, was tragically found in the Cumberland River, as confirmed by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. Strain, who vanished on March 8 while on a fraternity trip to downtown Nashville, was recovered on a Friday morning after two weeks of intensive searching. Incidentally, the location where Strain was found is approximately eight miles away from the downtown area.

The loss of the young student, who had been missing since his unexplained disappearance from a Nashville bar, has been a profound shock. This grim finding brings an unfortunate resolution to the search efforts instigated immediately after he was reported missing. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death continues. The Nashville police, along with his fraternity and the University of Missouri community, had been tirelessly involved in the search, and are deeply affected by the tragic outcome.
