The family of Riley Strain, a 22-year-old University of Missouri senior who disappeared after a night out in Downtown Nashville, has ordered a second autopsy after learning of his death. The initial autopsy report raised questions as Riley was found in the river missing his pants and boots, with only his boxer shorts and socks remaining from the waist down. Renowned expert Dr. Bill Bass, known for his work on body decomposition, expressed that it would be difficult for clothing to come off in a river by itself, suggesting that someone may have removed Riley’s pants and boots. Riley’s stepdad, Chris Whiteid, declined to comment on the second autopsy, stating the family is focusing on Riley’s funeral. However, he did tease that they have “big things to share” next week. Toxicology results from the autopsy are still pending.
Riley’s bank card was found in the Cumberland River embankment, leading to the discovery of his body 14 days after he went missing. The timeline of events leading up to his disappearance includes surveillance footage from Luke Bryan’s bar, where he was last seen, and a statement from the bar claiming they only served him one drink. The case remains open, with questions surrounding the circumstances of Riley’s death. As the investigation continues, the family seeks answers and closure in the tragic loss of their son.
