Police discover bank card of student who went missing after being kicked out of Luke Bryan's bar

Missing college student Riley Strain's bank card has been located by police.

On Friday (March 8), 22-year-old Riley Strain visited country star Luke Bryan's bar on Broadway Street in Nashville with some friends.

However, police report the University of Missouri student was asked to leave the bar and despite agreeing to meet with his friends back at their hotel, he never showed up.

Strain was last seen at 9:52pm on March 8 walking along Gay Street after drinking with his fraternity brothers at Bryan's bar as part of a spring formal trip, Fox 17 Nashville reports.

The TC Restaurant Group, which manages Luke's 32 Bridge, said in a statement to Fox that Riley 'purchased and was served one alcoholic drink and two waters' during his time at the establishment.

The statement adds: "At 9:35 p.m., our security team made a decision based on our conduct standards to escort him from the venue through our Broadway exit at the front of our building. He was followed down the stairs with one member of his party. The individual with Riley did not exit and returned upstairs."

In a post to his Instagram, Bryan added: "TC Restaurant Group, operator, and owner of Luke's 32 Bridge is continuing to work closely with the Metro Nashville Police Department to provide security camera footage and any other potentially helpful information to aid in the search for Riley Strain.

"Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones for his safe return."

Police later spotted the student in CCTV footage from the night, showing him wearing a 'two-tone shirt' and seen 'crossing 1st Ave N to Gay St (right to left) at 9:47pm'.

The student's phone was last triangulated to the area around the Public Square Park and Cumberland River at around 10-10:30pm later that night.

The Nashville Office of Emergency Management deployed two boats on 13 March to 'aid with searches of the riverbank area'.

An air crew also scoured the air and Metro Nashville PD's Urban Search and Rescue team assembled the next day to 'search further along the brush line of the riverbank'.

Yesterday (March 17), police reported Riley's bank card had since been discovered.
