Investigation turns up no evidence Riley Strain was overserved before he went missing

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Tennessee authorities have concluded that there's no evidence that Riley Strain, a University of Missouri student who went missing after a night of drinking in Nashville, was overserved alcohol the night he disappeared.

Strain's body was found about two weeks after his early March disappearance in the Cumberland River. He went missing after drinking during a trip with his fraternity, Delta Chi, on March 8. Police spoke a week later with Strain's friends who were with him that night.

A toxicology report later showed Strain had alcohol, nicotine and other substances in his system. His death was ruled a drowning with alcohol intoxication as a contributing factor.

One friend told officers that Strain and his friends had visited numerous bars and drank at each one before heading to Luke Bryan's 32 Bar at the end of the night, according to a report from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Strain was kicked out of that bar for being too drunk.

The friend told investigators that Strain had switched to only water by the time they reached Luke Bryan's bar for a second time that night. He was not served during this trip to the bar, the report says.

Strain's fraternity brothers told him they would meet him at the hotel when he was kicked out of the bar, according to the report. But Strain never made it there.

The report concludes that none of the four bars Strain visited that night had broken the law by overserving him.
