Episode 147: Brian Shaffer

Hello      Welcome back This is survived with Sophie and LexiWe started telling our survived story (in college) and we are moving on to being you guys moreThrough many different topics Brian Randall Shaffer was born on a cold winter morning, February 11, 1979, and grew into a devoted Ohio State University medical student whose calm intelligence and warm smile made him well liked by classmates and professors alike. Yet in the predawn hours of April 1, 2006, Brian vanished without a trace. Security cameras at the South Campus Gateway in downtown Columbus captured his last known moments—two brief, almost casual words exchanged with two women beside the glowing door of a second-floor bar—before he drifted out of view into the chilly spring darkness. Earlier that night, he had laughed with friends over the promise of spring break; when they eventually parted company, they assumed he was headed back home. Since that fleeting moment on camera, no one has seen or heard from him. The mystery of his disappearance, baffling investigators and gripping headlines from Columbus to Washington, still remains unsolved.
