The family of missing student Riley Strain says it has been shown unreleased surveillance video that captured him walking fast or “jogging” in the opposite direction of his hotel.

Chris Whiteid, Strain’s stepfather, and Chris Dingman, a friend acting as the family spokesman, revealed that Metro Nashville Police on Sunday showed them the last known video of the University of Missouri student from the night of his disappearance.

“We got to see him walking,” Whiteid told NewsNation in an interview that aired Thursday. “We got to see him kind of at a fast-pace walk, almost a jog. And it just shortened the last known window of sightings anyways.”

Whiteid said police played the video for the family on Sunday, after Riley’s debit card was found near the Cumberland River by a pair of TikTok sleuths.

“It was the last known video of Riley. Basically from where the body camera footage was with the officer to just right before the James Robertson Bridge,” the stepfather said.

Whiteid was referring to previously released bodycam footage showing an officer encountering Strain and asking him how he’s doing while responding to a burglary on Gay Street in Nashville on March 8.

Whiteid said the surveillance video was taken from a distance, but the 22-year-old appeared to be walking at an “extremely fast pace or jogging.”

What to know about the mysterious disappearance and death of Riley Strain

• College student Riley Strain, 22, went missing after being kicked out of Luke’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink in Nashville on March 8, 2024. Strain told his University of Missouri fraternity brothers that he was going back to his hotel room, but never arrived or contacted his friends.
• Surveillance footage shows him walking toward the hotel before making a wrong turn. His cellphone last pinged about a mile from the bar. A video saw Strain jogging away from his hotel before his disappearance.
• According to the Luke Bryan-owned bar, Strain only purchased one alcoholic drink and two waters the night he went missing. The 22-year-old’s parents have claimed he was “overserved.”
• The student’s bank card was found days later on an embankment of the Cumberland River by two TikTokkers searching the area.
• A local homeless man allegedly saw a “very, very intoxicated” Strain almost fall over the edge of a trail into the river. Strain was also spotted by a police officer near the river, according to body camera footage.
• Strain’s body was found in the river on Saturday by workers clearing the river of debris. According to a preliminary autopsy, Strain’s death was “accidental.”

“We all know how hard it is to balance … if you had been drinking, let alone try to jog,” he added.

Strain vanished after he was booted from country star Luke Bryan’s honky-tonk bar, Luke’s 32 Bridge, for being too drunk.

The 6-foot-7 finance major had been visiting Nashville with his Delta Chi fraternity brothers for an annual event.

After getting ejected from the bar, Strain told his friends he would meet them back at their hotel, but he ended up staggering in the opposite direction.
