What if one of the most famous missing person cases in America…was never actually a “vanishing” at all?
In March of 2006, 27-year-old Ohio State medical student Brian Shaffer walked into the Ugly Tuna Saloona in Columbus, Ohio with friends to celebrate the start of Spring Break. Hours later, surveillance cameras captured nearly everyone leaving the bar…
Except Brian.
More than 20 years later, no one has ever been charged, Brian has never been found, and investigators still can’t explain how a man seemingly disappeared from a crowded bar district without a trace.
In this episode of Twisted Crimes, Chris and Heather break down the full timeline of Brian’s final known night, from the arguments, the strange phone activity, and the mystery women seen with him…to the surveillance footage, the construction area exits, and the theories that continue to divide investigators and true crime fans to this day.
Did Brian voluntarily walk away from his life?
Did he secretly leave the bar through the construction zone?
Or did something happen after he left the camera’s view?
This is one of the strangest disappearance cases ever captured on surveillance video.
