The body of a missing University of Missouri student was pulled from a Nashville river Friday, two weeks after his disappearance.
22-year-old Riley Strain was found in the Cumberland River eight miles from where he was last seen alive on March 8 after he was kicked out of a local bar.
His body was located by barge operators working to remove an object from the river, Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake said.
