How did Brian Shaffer disappear from a crowded bar, surrounded by surveillance cameras and friends, never to be seen again? This week on Solvable Mysteries we revisit the compelling and mysterious cold case of Brian Shaffer, a medical student from OSU whose disappearance has mystified and intrigued the nation and which hasn't been solved yet -- but could it?
During this True Crime podcast episode we review the facts and rumors swirling around the missing persons cold case of Brian Shaffer, a medical student from Ohio State University who disappeared one night while bar-hopping with friends after experiencing high levels of stress around cramming for midterms, and the recent death of his mother from cancer. What is fascinating about this case is that there is video footage of Brian Shaffer right before he vanished, and the circumstances around his disappearance are eerie given the seeming lack of motive and the strange phenomena of Brian vanishing from a crowded, popular bar with only 2 exits, both of which had security cameras monitoring all traffic in and out of the establishment. We review and discuss all theories as to what could have happened, including misadventure, homicide, making a new life, and even the Smiley Face Serial Killer. Can anyone solve this cold case?
