The Strange Disappearance Of Brian Shaffer

On April 1, 2006, 27-year-old medical student Brian Randall Shaffer disappeared from a bar in Columbus, Ohio. He has not been seen since.

On Friday, March 31st, 2006 Brian Shaffer finished his lectures before the Spring Break. He met with his father, Randy, and the pair had dinner at an Outback Steakhouse in Columbus, Ohio. After dinner, Brian met with a friend, William “Clint” Florence, and the pair commenced an evening of drinking. They started at the Ugly Tuna Saloona, an OSU campus bar located on North High Street (note, the location of the bar has since moved). After leaving the Ugly Tuna, Brian and Clint went bar hopping.

At around midnight, the pair met one of Clint’s friends, Meredith, who drove them back to the Ugly Tuna Saloona. The three of them were caught on CCTV, travelling up the escalator to the bar at approximately 1.15 am, on the 1st of April.

At some point after 1.15 am, but before 1.57 am, Brian and Clint were seen outside the bar talking to two girls. Brian, despite having a girlfriend, was said to be flirting with one of the girls, even taking her phone number. At 1.57 am, Brian was seen again on CCTV at the top…
