Nashville, TN (WOKI / WVLT / WSMV) The search for Riley Strain Wednesday at the Cheatham Dam yields no clues in the disappearance of the 22-year-old University of Missouri student.
Officials with the Cheatham County Sheriff’s Office say crews were burping — closing and opening — the dam as part of the search efforts but found nothing connected to Riley. They say no other search efforts are planned in the area at this time.
The Cumberland River runs through the dam which is about 42 miles downstream from Nashville and is operated by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers.
Strain has been missing since March 8, disappearing after getting kicked out of a Nashville bar while on a fraternity trip.
While a new search effort was underway at the dam Wednesday, search crews continued to search for the 22-year-old in the Cumberland River area in Nashville.
