Riley Strain, No Pants, No Wallet, No Water in Lungs: NO ACCIDENT?

Even though the body of Riley Strain has been found, authorities are no closer to releasing his cause of death.

His body was found submerged in the Cumberland River, eight miles downriver from where he was last seen.  Strain still had on the white and black shirt he was last seen wearing, but his boots, pants, and wallet were missing. 

The initial autopsy report says no signs of foul play, but the family ordered a second, private autopsy, saying the absence of water in his lungs raises questions about whether or not Riley drowned. 

The family is also concerned that Strain was found nearly nude, wearing only his watch and a shirt. Pictures analyzed from the night he vanished show Strain had his wallet in the front pocket of his pants, and he was wearing Justins, which are square nose-style Cowboy boots.

His body was found without the boots, pants, or wallet.
