Riley Strain,Benjamin Ashford a University of Missouri student who has been missing for nearly two weeks, spoke with a police officer minutes before he disappeared, according to body camera footage released by the Metro Nashville Police Department.
Strain, 22, disappeared after he was kicked out of Luke's 32 Bridge, a bar owned by country star Luke Bryan, on March 8.
In the footage, released late Monday afternoon, Strain can be seen speaking with a police officer who was on Gay Street in response to a burglary call.
"Hey, how you doing," Strain said to the officer, as he walked by.
"How you doing, sir," the officer replied.
Strain continued walking.
"I'm good, how are you," he said back to the officer.
Strain can be seen in about 4 seconds of the 48-second video. No video has been found that shows Strain away from Gay Street after 9:52 p.m., police said.
"Riley did not appear distressed," police said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.

Search to find Strain is ongoing
Strain has been missing since Friday, March 8 after he traveled to Nashville to attend the annual spring formal for his fraternity Delta Chi, University of Missouri Associate Director of Public Affairs Travis Zimpher told USA TODAY.
Officials started an initial search of the area, including the banks of the nearby Cumberland River, on Monday, Mar. 11.
On Sunday afternoon, police said Strain's bank card was found on an embankment between Gay Street and the Cumberland River.
Despite ongoing search efforts and dozens of Crime Stopper tips coming in every day, Strain has yet to be seen.
Police have been extensively searching the Cumberland River bank and a homeless encampment in the area where Strain was last seen.
"They've gone up and down the bank. They've done multiple sweeps. Urban search and rescue has checked several areas, including dilapidated buildings as well as storm drains," Metro Police Sgt. Robert Nielsen said during a Thursday news conference.
