Hi, crime junkies. I'm your host Ashley Flowers and I'm Brett and the story I want to tell you today is a creepy one and one that I've been

obsessed with for years long before we had a podcast

This was one of those cases that I would put on my Google rotation along with like more Murray and Bryceless Pisa

I'd always wonder has there been an update in the disappearance of Brian Schaeffer?

In the spring of 2006 a young woman named Alexis should be getting ready to enjoy a hard-earned vacation

She's in her second year of medical school at Ohio State University studying to be an obstetrician and the courses are tough

But she is thriving under the challenge along with her long-term boyfriend Brian Schaeffer who's in medical school with her

Now the both of them had planned this spring break trip to Miami

But on the morning of April 3rd 2006. This was a Monday morning

Alexis is at the airport and she is anything but excited. She is anxious. She's scared getting panicky even

She had spoke to Brian on Friday night

But she hadn't been able to get a hold of him all weekend

So she had stopped by his apartment multiple times throughout the weekend Saturday Sunday each time finding nothing there

No, Brian. She tried calling over and over all day Saturday all day Sunday

But got no answer on his cell phone

So that Monday this was her last shot at hope that Brian was okay

Maybe he needed some time, but he would not miss this flight

Alexis waits for Brian all around her flights are taking off landing

It would be their turn soon, but Brian is nowhere in sight and listen

There are two types of people in the world those that want to roll up to the gate just in time for boarding and those like me

Yeah, and then the people like me who are there two hours ahead of time so I can have my two glasses of wine and not feel rushed at all

So even though he's not there right that second like again
