Police Release Body Cam Footage Showing Chance Encounter on an Active Call with Student Who Would Soon Go Missing

Share

The Metro Nashville Police Department has reported that one of its officers encountered missing University of Missouri student Riley Strain on the night he disappeared.

Police released body cam footage of a brief exchange that the 22-year-old had with an officer in downtown Nashville on March 8, KMBC-TV reported.

The video shows MNPD officer Reginald Young speaking with Strain as the officer was responding to a burglary call in the area.

“How are you doing, sir?” Young asked Strain as the now-missing student walked down a street.

“I’m good. How are you?” Strain replied.


Strain was also recorded not long afterward in security footage that showed him walking down the same street at 9:52 p.m., according to KMBC.

Strain disappeared after a night out with friends.

The Mizzou student was in Nashville for a fraternity conference. He was last seen being kicked out of a bar near the Cumberland River. His friends reported him missing the following day, March 9.

Strain’s debit card was found along the Cumberland River on Sunday.

KMBC reported that his family was also able to “pinpoint his phone’s last known location to a spot less than one mile away from the bar where he was last seen.”

“He’s a great kid,” Strain’s mother Michelle Whiteid said, according to KMBC. “We miss him, and we want him back so bad. If anyone sees anything, please just call the police.”

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning
