Police searching for Riley Strain, a missing University of Missouri student, are concentrating their efforts at the Cheatham Lock and Dam near Ashland City, where operations have been temporarily halted as authorities searched for the 22-year-old.
He sent the last text message from his phone before it was deleted, which read “good lops”. A family acquaintance discovered that the phone was not dying, debunking the assumption that the message meant “low on power, sorry.”

The 22-year-old was partying with his fraternity brothers in Nashville on March 8th when he was booted out of a pub. He was spotted going through downtown Nashville, near the river.
He hasn’t been seen nor heard from since.
Mr Strain’s family friend, Chris Dingman, has recently claimed that he sent a farewell text message to a female he was seeing shortly after leaving the bar. The message “good lops” sparked debate about its significance.
While some social media users speculated that “lops” could stand for “low on power,” Mr Dingman dismissed that hypothesis, telling NewsNation that data shows his cellphone did not run out of power that night.
