Thanks for staying on this story!! This is terrifying and I still believe that the young man (Riley) in Nashville that drowned had this happen. We need more police reports & pressure to find out what’s going on! I think she’s wrong not thinking female bartenders wouldn’t be involved. They may be getting paid to do this!!!
It's a warning, no bar is safe. Never let your glass "out of your site." Only be with people you trust. The invention that needs to be created is a straw that you can dip into your drink that shows if your drink has been dosed; the straw changes colors.
This happened to me in Nashville also. Horrifying. I thank God my husband recognized something wasn’t right and got us back to our rental safely.
I firmly believe this is what happened to Riley Strain. I used to want to go the Nashville to visit but NOT NOW. It's too insane. And now a lot of the Hollywierds are moving there so it's off my bucket list.
Nashville used to be a nice place to spend the weekend walking around with your family. We are locals and rarely go there. It became an open cantina. Everything stinks like rotten alcohol and there are crazy people everywhere. It’s a nasty place.
okay, i appreciate this segment. by allowing them to speak freely and tell the story, i also hear many things that remind me of the riley strain story! i always wondered why he (riley) took out walking, and this has answered that question for me. had she drank her drink in it’s entirety and not been in her right mind, they argued and got separated, he could have ended up the same as riley. good for her for keeping her eyes on him. this couple’s story is very eye opening in light of all the men who are in the same demographic coming up dead, a lot of which are drownings.
I was born & raised here in Nashville,& I absolutely hate what it's become. It's so disgusting. Also, our mayor sucks & I hope he's arrested by the Feds soon since he's being investigated.
They should talk with a counselor about it too. This could be damaging to their relationship. They need to talk about the words that were said, even if it “wasn’t him”.
Down town Nashville has been like this for a hot minute...it's turned trashy af
I had this happen back in the 70s at a party. I had two sips on my drink, and I remember saying, “I have to sit down.” That’s the last thing I remember until I woke up in the morning , and the party 🎉 was over. The night was a total blank. My friends told me they caught some guy trying to rape me and kicked him out. I am sure he is the one who drugged me. It is the creepiest thing I’ve ever experienced.
