NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Missing University of Missouri student Riley Strain has been found dead in a Tennessee river. Police say no foul play is suspected. Metro Nashville police officials confirmed on Friday that Strain’s body had been recovered from the Cumberland River about 8 miles west of downtown. Police previously said the 22-year-old Strain was last seen just before 10 p.m. on March 8 after drinking downtown. A massive search had been underway ever since, with just small clues available to help investigators trying to find him. Authorities say an autopsy will be conducted to determine a cause of death.
