On Monday, authorities released police bodycam footage that is purported to be Riley Strain greeting a Nashville Police officer on the night he went missing. According to the officer, he did not appear distressed.
The officer was in the area on a vehicle burglary call and was in the vicinity for another 45 minutes.

It has been 10 days since University of Missouri college student Riley Strain went missing.
The 22-year-old went missing after visiting a bar with friends in Nashville.
According to reports, Riley was "having fun" on the night of his disappearance and "wasn't extremely intoxicated."
He is said to have told his fraternity brothers of his plans to return to their hotel. However, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that surveillance footage shows that he never arrived.
Further information revealed that Strain had actually been kicked out of the bar and video showed the college student crossing a street at 9:47 pm last Friday.
A few days after he went missing, two witnesses told authorities that he had been spotted at two nearby homeless camps on the night he vanished.
"We looked back up. He almost fell over the edge right there. The last bush right there caught him," the man, who asked to not be identified, told Fox17 in an interview.
"He was very, very intoxicated ... I've never seen anybody stumble that hard before."
"I was talking to family members currently in downtown Nashville searching, and we have found another homeless person that had acknowledged that Riley had been in that area," friend Chris Dingman told NewsNation's Ashleigh Banfield Wednesday. "This now makes two people that have done confirmation."
On Sunday, Nashville Police released a statement on X (formerly Twitter) that said Strain's credit cards had been discovered near an embankment by the Cumberland River near Riverfront Park.
