NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TCD) -- Police are continuing to search for a 22-year-old University of Missouri student who disappeared Friday night after getting kicked out of a bar in downtown Nashville.

The Metro Nashville Police Department released video footage that showed Riley Strain crossing 1st Avenue North to Gay Street at 9:47 p.m. He was not seen after that. Police searched the area around, including the banks of the Cumberland River "to no avail."
