Summary

In April 2006, 27-year-old medical student Brian Shaffer walked into a popular college bar in Columbus, Ohio and never walked out. Despite security footage showing him entering the Ugly Tuna Saloona, no camera ever caught him leaving. With no sign of struggle, no use of his bank accounts, and no trace of him anywhere, Brian’s disappearance has baffled investigators for nearly two decades. In this episode, we dig into the eerie timeline, explore the suspicious behavior of those closest to him, and unpack the theories—both logical and bizarre—that still swirl around this case. Did Brian vanish on purpose? Was foul play involved? Or did something unthinkable happen in those final moments? This is one of the most perplexing missing persons cases in modern history...and it’s never been solved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
