i just moved into one of the graduate towers here at ohio state, and one of the first things i saw inside the building was a flyer with brian and all his info on it.
think about him every time i go by that bar on high st.
sad. i'm hoping for the best in this situation. hoping he comes home.
:(
Hey is this guy still missing? I had to ask because I haven't been on the site for almost a month now and right away I see this thread still here. If he hasn't been found by now, this is some serious shit. How sad.
:cool:
Oh wow! That is potentially good news. I sure hope it leads to something more.
Apparently cell phones can be tracked (the article was talking about the cell phone tower) so hopefully they can pinpoint his location.
The best case explanation (in my eyes/thoughts/opinion) is that he disappeared, turned his phone off, then re-surfaced and turned it on. For some reason, he's probably a bit hesitant to contact his friends/family. In fact, I probably would be too, after being away without notice or contact for several months.
There is the case that someone found his phone, but let's not think about this one. But if the phone WAS found, wouldn't someone return it? It's not that hard to look through the contacts to find a "mom", "dad", "home", or something similar.

how do you know his cell has been used? cell usage can totally be traced, both by numbers called / recieved and by where they were called / recieved from. especially when the police are helping. i first read about this last night and it made me just about cry. i will try in all ways i can to help find brian too. but, how do you really know the phone was used?

I believe the news article said that Brian's father Randy tried to call Brian's cell and instead of the usual just going to voicemail- it rang several times then went to voicemail. As if the phone was turned on.
news articles....i'll have to do some research. what i now don't understand is that if he has been getting calls going right to his v-mail and possibly a recent call that rang a few times before heading to v-mail...who is paying his cell bill? and is the mailbox full or not? if it's not full, someone is listening and clearing them out. also, wouldn't your account be closed if not paid and their would be no v-mail anymore either? this is probably all obvious, but i needed tothrow it out there....maybe got other people thinking too.

I would imagine his father is still paying for the cell phone...in hope of finding him.
If you stop the services, then it's useless, isn't it? Someone could easily just throw it away because it's no good.
But if it's still in service, there's good chances...

Has the family tried contacting anyone like America's Most Wanted, or any of those kinds of shows. I know I watch them all the time, like the shows on A&E about people missing. It would really get the news out of just Ohio and perhaps help find him. The shows are very popular and people on them are alot of times recognized. Perhaps he has amnesia.
I am just guessing of coarse but personally I check this thread alot to learn of the poor guys status and I am sure many other people care too.
My prayers are sent.

His story was featured on Dateline. If you look through the thread, you'll find Kat posted a link to a FOX News feature on him.

there was an article about him on the front page of the columbus dispatch today. unfortunately no new leads in the case. and the cell phone thing was just a glitch.
what's weird is they say they don't have footage of him leaving the bar that night, but i know someone who works for security in the gateway (the gateway is a bunch of bars, restaraunts, stores and apt) and he said they do actually have footage of him. don't know if he's telling the truth.
I was going to copy and paste the article, but it wouldn't fit in one post.
This isn't just directed at you, but that's actually a copyright violation. The owners of the board (in this case 10C could get in big trouble.) A lot of boards probably let it slide because they don't know/don't care, have bigger things to worry about (spam/bad users) or are based out of the US where the laws might vary.
I know -- you're probably as shocked as I was when I found out. A little bit is ok, but a whole article is a no-no. I guess the thinking is similar to typing a paper without citations or copying someone else's work and calling it your own.
It sucks for people with slow internet, though. They may or may not check their email and find a new reply. They come here, that's bandwidth. They go to another site to read, that's more bandwidth.
Anyway, back on topic. Hopefully it's the amnesia thought and he just had to get away. Medical school plus death of parent can be stressfull enough. With that said, why didn't he get help? He doesn't seem like the type of person someone would want dead, but in these times, it's hard to tell. You just need one guy with a grudge and another guy in the wrong spot at the wrong time.
He's out there though. We'll find him.

Yes, I'm surprised - but I thought that as long as you provide the link, you're stating that you're NOT owning the story, but rather providing a copy of the story, including the editor's name, etc..
That's how it's done in the MT all the time?
Regardless, that is an article that should be read.
crittables, can you find out more information about that person who claims that there's actually a footage of Brian leaving the bar? I know it's hearsay, but we need all the help we can get here and for Alexis and Brian's family?
I feel bad for Brian's friend at the same time, but I think he should do the police and the family a favor and take the lie test. Hell, Brian's father took one to clear himself.
Why not the friend as well? I don't know what his reasons were.

I agree. If he takes the test, then it'll clear his name. It varies in each state, but I think that a polygraph test as lone evidence generally doesn't hold up in court. So if the friend does know something, they'd still need more evidence. (All this assumes way too much, obviously.)
Take the test, maybe take multiple tests in multiple settings. Maybe that would get more accurate results?

i'm assuming it's either false information, or the police know about the footage and for some reason aren't telling us. i don't know why they would keep this information a secret, so i figure my source isn't telling the truth.
WOW, great article. I can't imagine what Alexis is going thru. I've talked to her a few times thru myspace and she's always so genuine. Gosh, I only wish the best for her. I hope her life will someday be all ok. She is going to be an amazing doctor. Ok, I'm balling my eyes out...........

He is. There'll be something popping up every once in a while, so the authorities are still looking, but he's still out there somewhere...
some new info. apparently his cell phone has been used.
Thank you!!
I really hope that leads to something this time!!
So glad there were more clues for them to keep working on!

Even moreso if it's a family plan. If that was the case, his phone would still be active because his parents would be paying for their phones.

Thanks for posting it.
Alexis is one amazingly strong woman.
I'm still praying for closure one way or another for everyone.
Can't imagine living this horror.
I had a hard time holding back tears.
I was going to copy and paste the article, but it wouldn't fit in one post.
I wonder why Brian's friend refused to take the lie test?
Why not?
And why did he need a laywer?
