ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Metro Nashville Police Department say they have recovered the body of missing 22-year-old Mizzou Student Riley Strain.
Metro Nashville Police Department say the body of Strain was recovered from the Cumberland River in West Nashville Friday morning, approximately eight miles from downtown.
Police say no foul play-related trauma was observed. An autopsy is pending.
Police previously said Strain, 22, was last seen just before 10 p.m. on March 8 after drinking downtown. A massive search was quickly launched, with just small clues available to help investigators trying to find him, including finding his bank card along a river bank and using surveillance footage to track his final moments.
University of Missouri officials said in a statement that Strain was traveling to Nashville to attend a private event with his fraternity Delta Chi.
Strain’s mother, Michelle Whiteid, and his stepfather, Chris Whiteid, have been in Nashville after learning about his disappearance.
“I just need to know where my son is,” Michelle Whiteid initially told outlets. “We talk every day, multiple times a day. This is the longest I’ve ever gone without talking to him. It’s devastating. I just want to find him and hug him.”
