The family of Riley Strain, along with officials, held a press conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday to provide an update on the ongoing search for the missing college student. Strain, who was in Nashville for a fraternity trip, went missing on March 8 after being kicked out of Luke's 32 Bridge on Broadway.

Strain's disappearance has garnered national attention and efforts to locate him have continued relentlessly. The family announced that the United Cajun Navy, a group of private citizens with boats, has joined the search. They also encouraged individuals who wish to participate in the search to join the organized efforts, highlighting safety concerns.

Despite extensive search efforts on land and in the river, authorities have been unable to find any leads in the case. On Sunday, a significant breakthrough occurred when Strain's bank card was discovered on an embankment off Cumberland River, close to where his phone last pinged off a cellphone tower.

David Flagg, national director of operations for the United Cajun Navy, revealed that the group plans to employ an airboat and a hovercraft in the coming days to search for Strain along the Cumberland River bank. Flagg stressed the importance of organizing the search and ensuring the safety of those involved.

An additional video was released by the Metro Nashville Police Department on Monday, showing Strain interacting with an officer on the night of his disappearance. While early footage showed Strain stumbling and falling around downtown Nashville, authorities confirmed that he did not appear to be distressed during his encounter with the officer. They also emphasized that, despite rumors circulating on social media, there is currently no evidence of a crime committed in relation to Strain's disappearance.

In response to criticisms regarding the local authorities' response, Metro Nashville Police Sergeant Robert Nielsen reiterated the department's dedication to finding the 22-year-old student, affirming that they are doing everything within their power to locate him.

Despite the challenges and frustrations faced throughout the search, Strain's family expressed appreciation for the support they have received and reiterated their determination to bring Riley back home. They believe that finding him is still a very achievable goal.

In the midst of the search efforts, the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission has initiated an investigation to determine whether Strain was overserved alcohol on Broadway. Luke's 32 Bridge, where Strain was reportedly present before his disappearance, maintained that he was served only one drink and two glasses of water that evening.

As the search for Riley Strain continues, the collective efforts of authorities, the United Cajun Navy, and the public aim to bring renewed hope in locating the missing University of Missouri student.
