Surveillance cameras captured him entering the Ugly Tuna Saloona but never showed him leaving.

His friends searched for him that night but eventually went home without answers. From that moment on, Brian Shaffer was never seen or heard from again.
An intense investigation followed, with massive searches, national attention, and a reward that eventually reached $100,000. But in the years since, no confirmed sightings, no financial activity, and no answers have ever surfaced.
Criminally Obsessed’s Anne Emerson talked to former detective John Hurst about Brian’s disappearance, what we know 20 years later, and why people who have information on Brian's disappearance might hesitate to come forward.

How did Brian Shaffer a 27 year-old man at the time just simply disappear? It's a question Columbus Police detectives and thousands from central Ohio have been asking for more than 18 years. Brian Shaffer, was a medical student at The Ohio State University. As legend has it; he walked into a campus bar and was never seen walking out. Brian vanished after going out with friends on the evening of March 31st, 2006 to celebrate the beginning of spring break. According to friends during the early morning hours of April 1st, Brian was separated from them, and they assumed he had gone home. Shaffer has not been seen or heard from since. Columbus police have several theories about what happened; some suspicion has been directed at a friend. While foul play is suspected, it has also been speculated that Brian might be living somewhere under a new identity. Today we bring to you an interview with Columbus Police Sergent John Hurst who was the lead investigator in the Shaffer case. Conducting the interview is the Captain and investigative journalist Maggie Freleng.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about a case that perplexes many true crime sleuths to this day: the suspicious disappearance of Brian Shaffer. On April 1, 2006, Brian was with friends at the Ugly Tuna Saloon in Columbus, Ohio. Brian was seen on cameras inside the bar shortly before 2 a.m. talking to two women, but then walked away. After the bar closed, his friends couldn’t find him. He wasn’t answering his phone, and they didn’t know what to do. In a chilling twist, Brian was never seen on camera footage leaving the bar… or seen ever again. This case was previously covered on my YouTube Channel, 10 to Life.
