this part is chilling...officer turns around and he's already vanished. he barely missed whatever happened. and whatever happened it happened there bc his phone stops pinging and he is no longer picked up on security cameras.

This is incorrect. His phone stops pinging under the next bridge down. It’s also just not very good quality video and he was wearing dark jeans and the back half of his shirt was black. I guarantee the officer saw him with his own two eyes. There have been people videotaping down there at night and it is much brighter than it appears in that video.

But roofying dudes randomly? Man, that was just not a concept anyone even thought about. And like I said earlier, I’m less than a decade removed from that chapter of life where I routinely boozed socially

The fact that his frat brothers have lawyered up so quickly leads me to thinking this could possibly be a hazing incident? One person said they actually drove by him and asked him if he was OK. He was on speaker phone and the person on the other line said "He's fine", and told him to keep walking straight. Strange.

There is something sketchy about the fraternity brothers behavior, but I doubt it’s a “hazing” thing as we understand that definition in the classical sense. Dude is/was a senior about to graduate. Not that I’m some grand guru of all things fraternity culture. But as someone who actually was in a big SEC school fraternity myself that knew/knows hundreds of other guys in fraternities all across the SEC, I’ve never once heard of fraternity hazing for anyone other than freshman/pledges.

A better guess imo would be that perhaps one and/or a group of his “friends” thought it’d be a funny prank to to slip him something when he wasn’t looking not fully understanding the horrific ramifications it could have led to ultimately. And now they are rightfully scared shitless of what the ramifications could be long term.

But even that theory to me sounds pretty wild. I just say that because I never was exposed to or heard of anyone actually roofying someone. Like I assumed that it went on occasionally I guess, but it got to the point where myself and my friends and I concluded that the “roofying” college culture must be more of a modern Internet urban legend. Nevermind how the concept of guys “roofying” guys just for shits and giggles was totally nonexistent. But I guess I was wrong perhaps knowing more about the accounts that has been coming out of downtown Nashville recently

However, obviously something isn’t squaring up with the actions his fellow fraternity members have taken recently.

100%. However some folks-including myself-don’t start to fully grasp that concept until our brains fully develop at 25/26. I get why guys in their early 20s are still blacking out if they are apart of the continuous environment of social binge drinking from late HS onwards thru college.

Nowadays I only drink at weddings, holidays/vacations, and tailgates in the fall. I wouldn’t change my past, but I definitely don’t miss the days of drinking to get drunk multiple nights a week from like age 18-24. Poisoning your body and feeling like shite the next day after just ain’t what life needs to be about

You scooped the media then

Wouldn’t be the first time

I’m sure they have much more video and details than they are releasing right now.

Yesterday, a kid was missing downtown for a couple of hours and hotel security and metro PD found him within 20 mins of arriving
/being called using their cameras and surrounding business security cameras.

They found him. No signs of trauma or foul play. Weird.

Channel Five Nashville / Riley Strain's Body Found

Yeah, so it looks like the #1 theory we all thought happened. Kid fell into the river drunk off his arse
