    Thanks for the update, Lost In Ohio.

    I'm glad they worked very hard to find more clues!!

    Somebody has to know this man even if he wouldn't come forward.

    Six times? I agree with his father - I find that odd as well.
    Not to say there's a limit on how many times you get in and out...but alone?

    There's a new sense of hope... and I'm sure that is a huge thing for his father and family.

    Regarding the guy in the orange sweater:

    COLUMBUS, Ohio -- One day after police released a new piece of videotape in the disappearance of missing Ohio State University medical student Brian Shaffer, the potential witness came forward.

    ....
    Police announced that a man had come forward, claiming to be the man shown in the footage. Officials said that detectives are working to verify that the person who came forward is the person shown in the video.



    Heard on the news was this guy was wanted to talk to since he might have remembered something an intoxicated person would not. (In the video posted above, he appeared to be relatively sober.)

    They're thinking it's a dead end though. :(

    I wish some useful information would come up. It's extremely sad that Brian's family has to go through this again and again. I've had shirts made, passed out buttons/put up flyers all over the US. Someone, somewhere has to know something.

    Hopefully I'll have more buttons to pass out again soon. I've given out several hundred so far and will continue to do everything I can until Brian's brought home. I'm not related to the family- but I cannot imagine going through what they have gone through. I want to do anything and everything I can do to help them find him.

    And those of you waiting on buttons- I haven't forgotten you. Just ran out and needed to order more :)

    I know...but you've done more than the rest of us! You managed to get the band's attention on Brian's missing and that is a HUGE thing - the message has spread to other people who don't visit the board or even know anything about him at the show.

    It's ok about the buttons...I still wear the t-shirts from time to time.

    I hope something turns up SOON - this orange man HAS to have seen something odd...that is, if he didn't have anything to do with it.

    Sober man who keeps visiting the bar? Hmm...got to have you wondering?

    I got a word from our fellow PJ fan - hsewif, that she saw Brian's dad on FOX news last night and recorded it.

    Looks similar to my t-shirt design, but I think that's Dani's design that she took over and made t-shirts that way.

    He wore that shirt (I assume the one spike007 made for him) and the button on the news:

    Thanks, hsewif! :)

    I'm sorry I missed the news - I don't watch TV.

    I've been thinking, and was wondering if you wanted us to include buttons when we ship out the massive batch of t-shirt preorders to the US fans? A PJ fan would notice a stickman tat before other people would..

    I almost never watch Fox News (especially can't stand Greta Van whats-her-face) but happened to catch this story running as I was flipping channels. It was a good segment. I hope someone who knows something saw it and can help somehow.

    My heart ached for Brian's father. He seems to be holding up well for all he's going through, but you know he's in unimaginable agony inside.

    Here's hoping for the best.........hoping Brian comes home safe soon.

    That would be awesome! Let me call Randy and see what he thinks. I'll also need to get more buttons :)

    I think Randy's an amazing person. He has more strength and will power than anyone I have ever known. I have an awful lot of respect for him.

    I also really wanna thank everyone for keeping this thread alive- I know Randy comes here from time to time and it really and truly means a lot to him to see that as a community we're trying to do everything we can to help him find Brian. These past few months have been awful- but hopefully with everyone's help spreading the word, keeping this thread alive, and keeping Brian in their thoughts- we can find him.

    It's great that so many people are involved with this. This sticky alone has 40,000+ views. I wish Brian's family the best and for a safe return.

  • I'm new to posting but have been following this story from the beginning. Just wanted to say i hope they get some news soon. Can't imagine what they must be going through. I keep him and his family in my thoughts.

    xXx
    * We were but stones....your light made us stars *

    One day, some day i will get to see Pearl Jam in the UK!!!

    Fingers crossed for London!!!! (nope, didn't get tickets for that either)
  • My heart just aches for anyone who doesn't get resolution to what happened to a loved on that disappeared.
    That's just more than anyone should have to bear in this life.

    Still holding on to hope and sending positive vibes that whatever happened to Brian will become known very soon.

    If Brian's Dad Randy should read through here, please know you and your family are in our prayers.

    Peace..

    Still thinking about you Brian.
    When you're ready, come home.
  • i went with a trucker friend for aweek and saw posters of him in ohio...by toledo and cleveland...saw a few hitch-hikers...kept our eyes peeled for him.. someone (a psychic,i believe)thinks he's suffering from some type of head injury and doesnt know who or where he is.. i think i read it on one of the links from brian's page...i pray his family and friends are soon reunited with him..and that all will be fine...this entire story is just heart-breaking...

    that's awesome. as a columbus resident, former OSU student, someone who was at the same bar as brian the night of his disappearance, it means a lot that people so far away are helping out. thanks!
