Riley Strain: A timeline of events

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Editor's Note: The original version of this story had the incorrect time for when the 911 call was made. It has been corrected.

Nashville's Urban Search And Rescue Team on Thursday continued to search along the riverbank for 22-year-old University Of Missouri student Riley Strain.

In a press conference this afternoon, Metro Nashville police said there was no indication of criminal activity.

“So we're utilizing absolutely every resource we can possibly think of at this point. There's no reason to believe that he's been a victim of a crime,” Metro Nashville Police Sgt. Bob Nielsen said. “And I can't possibly think of any other resource we can utilize that we haven't used or are using right now.”

Detectives are talking to people in the area, including anyone who lives in nearby homeless camps, to try to find strain.

Here’s a quick timeline of events:

Strain was kicked out of a bar called Luke’s Bridge 32 – at the intersection of Broadway and 3rd Avenue -- just before 10 p.m. Friday night.

He allegedly told his friends on the phone that he would head back to the Tempo Hotel, where they were staying. But instead, he walked in the opposite direction. He was spotted on security video from a local vape shop at 9:45 p.m. Near 2nd Avenue and Church Street. He appeared to be stumbling and holding his head.

Two minutes later, he was caught by another security camera at a crossing near Gay Street, which was the last time he is seen on video.

Finally at 9:53 p.m., Life360 – a location sharing application -- tracks him a few blocks north at the intersection of Gay Street and James Robertson Parkway, near the River.

When his friends realized he wasn't at the hotel, and couldn't find him, they called 911 at 1:46 p.m. on Saturday to file a missing person's report.
