The search for answers con­tin­ues in the mys­te­ri­ous dis­ap­pear­ance of Riley Strain, a 20-year-old stu­dent at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Wis­con­sin-Riv­er Falls. Strain van­ished dur­ing a spring break trip to Nashville and was lat­er found deceased in the Cum­ber­land River.

Adding a new lay­er to the case, Riley’s mom, Michelle Whiteid, shared a chill­ing text exchange she had with her son just before he went missing. 

Whiteid revealed that Riley texted her about a rum and coke he ordered at a bar, say­ing it tast­ed “weird.” She advised him not to drink it, but Riley’s reply sent shiv­ers down her spine: “Tastes like bar­be­cue… but not good.”

Author­i­ties haven’t linked Strain’s death to the strange drink, but this new detail rais­es major ques­tions. What hap­pened to Riley that night? Did some­thing sin­is­ter hap­pen at the bar? The inves­ti­ga­tion con­tin­ues as Riley’s fam­i­ly des­per­ate­ly seeks closure.
