Body spotted in river amid search for missing student
A body was spotted floating in a river amid the search for missing student Riley Strain.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency reported at around 1pm on Sunday that a body was seen in the Cumberland River close to the Martin Luther King Bridge.
Search crews arrived on the scene.
However, the Nashville Fire Department (NFD) said that the body did not match the description of Strain – and was wearing a maroon-coloured shirt.
Strain’s family also said the body is not that of the missing student, WSMV reported.

Mr Strain, 22, was last seen at a bar in Nashville — as part of a trip with his fraternity — on 8 March.
Security asked him to leave, prompting a probe into whether he had been overserved. However, the bar owners on 15 March said that he had just been served one alcoholic drink and two waters before being escorted out.

The women were documenting their search efforts on TikTok when they made the discovery.
ICYMI: What happened to Riley Strain?
Riley Strain, 22, was last seen on Friday night as he left Luke’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink in Nashville’s Broadway area.
The senior’s stepfather said in an interview on Monday that the days since Riley’s disappearance had been “pure hell”.
His family has travelled to the city and been walking the streets looking for the young man who called his frat brothers after leaving the bar, saying he was going back to their hotel.
Riley’s friends tried to call him repeatedly after that on Friday night and on Saturday morning, but the calls kept going to voicemail.
Metropolitan Nashville Police Department released video footage on Tuesday, showing Riley wearing a two-tone shirt, crossing 1st Avenue North to Gay Street at around 9.45pm on Friday. That spot is just over half a mile from the bar.
Investigators are asking anyone who could help locate the 6’5” tall man with a thin build, blue eyes and light brown hair to come forward.
The department said on Monday that it had searched the downtown area where Riley was last seen, including the riverbank, but “to no avail”.
Missing Riley Strain’s final text message revealed
A family friend of Riley Strain has revealed the last known communication the student had that night.
Chris Dingman told NewsNation that the student sent a text message to a girl that he was seeing.
“She texted him to see how he was doing and if he was having fun,” he said.
“He sent kind of a scripted text back to her saying ‘Good lops.’”
It is unclear what the confused message means.
Mr Dingman said that neither he nor the recipient of the text knew what it meant and described it as “unclear slang”.
Recap: Two groups of homeless encampments reported seeing the missing student
After being kicked out, the student then wandered the streets, according to surveillance footage in the area.
His friends subsequently spent nine hours looking for him before filing a missing person report with the police. Mr Strain, from Springfield, Missouri, was in Nashville with his fraternity, Delta Chi, for their spring formal trip.
On Wednesday, friend Chris Dingman said he had learned from Mr Strain’s relatives that the missing student was seen by two groups of homeless people on the night he vanished.
“These are areas that the camera had stops. We don’t have any footage. Basically, the areas where his phone quit pinging. We now do have visual confirmation from two homeless camps that Riley was in that area,” Mr Dingman told local TV station, WSMV4.
Mr Dingman also spoke with a homeless person who saw Mr Strain wandering near the banks of the Cumberland River, which runs through the city close to downtown. However, the homeless resident could not recall where Mr Strain went, his friend said.
A doorman working at a different downtown bar also told WSMV4 that he had been approached by a homeless man who claimed to have seen Mr Strain stumble into some bushes, stand up, and then wander off in the dark.
There have been no other reported sightings of Mr Strain since.
