University of Missouri student Riley Strain is still missing after he disappeared on the night of March 8th in downtown Nashville. Strain was last seen on surveillance footage walking in the direction of the Cumberland River after being kicked out of Luke Bryan's bar.

Strain's step father Chris Whiteid says they're still hoping to bring him home.


"Our goal is still to bring Riley home," said Whiteid, adding "we feel like that's a very pliable [sic] goal."

Asked about Strain's fraternity brothers who he was on the trip with, his mother Michelle Whiteid tearfully described how they're feeling.

"They're heartbroken also, he's they're best friend. We love these boys like our own and it's just as hard on them as it is on us."

Also announced at the press conference was the disaster relief group, United Cajun Navy, be joining the effort to locate Strain at the request of his family.
