Tennessee police released video footage Tuesday of the last known sighting of a Missouri frat student who vanished on Friday.
WSMV obtained a follow-up 911 call that suggests that the initial call to 911 was placed on Saturday afternoon, 16 hours after Riley Strain, 22, was last seen. At some point, Strain’s friends tried to report him missing at a police precinct and to Davidson County police.
In the 911 call, the caller explained Strain was last seen outside country star Luke Bryan’s bar in Nashville. Reports indicated that he was kicked out of the bar before his disappearance.

Nashville police released surveillance footage apparently showing Strain walking across the street shortly before his disappearance.
Strain, a University of Missouri student, was in Nashville for a fraternity conference at the time of his disappearance. His family claimed they last tracked his phone to a location less than a mile from the bar he was ousted from. Strain’s location was unavailable on Snapchat and his phone eventually went straight to voicemail.
Strain is described as being 6 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 160 pounds, and having blue eyes and blonde hair. He was last seen wearing a brown button-up shirt with a black chest pocket, blue jeans, brown boots, and a black Apple watch.
WSMV reported that police are searching the nearby Cumberland River and surrounding areas for Strain.
