Police and volunteers have searched via land, air and boat for any sign of Strain and the Metro Nashville Police Department has put out multiple videos showing Strain walking downtown. In some of them, he stumbles and appears intoxicated.
Strain allegedly told his friends on the phone that he was heading back to the Tempo Hotel, where they were staying. Instead, he walked in the opposite direction.
