why is this a sticky? if he's been missing for almost 2 years, odds are he's not going to be found. just curious. kind of annoying to have 15 sticky threads at the top of this board and this seems like one that is unnecessary at this point in time
There's 10 stickys.
You realize how incredibly inconsiderate it is to post something like that, right? If you were missing would you want your family and loved ones to just call it all off at 2 years? Theres plenty of examples of people being found alive and well after being missing for longer than that.
If theres a chance the thread will help find this guy, leave until they get some answers. What's the inconvenience to you or any of us?
What's more important here - The possibility of these people getting answers (or at least some help) by leaving this thread up as a sticky, or your desire to not have to scroll down the page to read the newest thread?
If nothing else the thread provides some support for the people looking for him.

Obessive compulsive disorder? Well, put that aside and think about how deeply saddened this guy's family members and girlfriend are. This is an urgent situation and I think it's good that it's a sticky, dammit.
First of all: Brian. Unfortunately, no news. We did have the search with EquuSearch a few months ago, which came of nothing. There was supposed to be another search this past weekend, but due to the group's schedule and other issues, it was canceled. I had dinner with Brian's dad on Saturday instead, and we had a chance to chat about everything which was nice. For his dad, there was a little bit of relief as he didn't particularly want to find anything bad before Christmas. Brian's story continues to run occasionally on E! as I still receive messages from people which is very nice. As always, all the prayers and best wishes we hear can only help! It hit me like a ton of bricks that it's well past a year and half the other day, which is just crazy. Please, keep Brian and his family especially in your prayers!
(later on)
Lastly: dating. So, it finally happened. Over a year and a half after Brian disappeared I finally went out on a date with a great guy who my parents already knew, so he already knew about Brian. Which made my life easier, I think. I have continued to see him since then (September) and it's been fun to not be alone all of the time! He has been super nice and very understanding about my reluctance to have things move too quickly. So, we'll see what happens!

Good for her that she has started dating. I can't imagine how difficult that must have been to make the decision to start dating again. It sounds like Alexis is a great person, and I feel awful for everything she and Brian's family have been through.

Its really difficult when people have to move on when their lives have been turned upside down. I wish Alexis only the best out of life, and lets keep praying for some new info to turn up this year. I still don't trust the "friends" there is more there that needs to be dug up...
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me...GUARANTEED!
it amazes me how people just disappear. There was a couple from Philly that left a bar on South street over a year ago and haven't been seen since. How do you just disappear like that? It's eerie.
I can't imagine what his family and friends are going through.
Brian's story continues to run occasionally on E! as I still receive messages from people which is very nice.
Pardon me if I'm missing something, but why would this story be running on E? Is that E, the Entertainment Channel?
It runs on an E! Investigates special - about the Horros of Spring Break, all these terrible horror stories about kids getting attacked and robbed while vacationing for spring break in tropical places. This story seemed familiar when I was watching it and then saw the Alive Guy on the "lost" poster. I keep checking here to see if theres even an update....
In seven weeks (plus a few days), one of two things will happen.
A) He will have been found
or
He will have been missing for two years.
I also updated the first post. The link to CrimeStoppers and their missing poster is no longer working. We now have a link to Ohio State University's Medical Center website and their missing poster (same one, actually.) The updated text now reads:
Ohio State University Medical Center. Here, you'll find a link to a flyer announcing the fact that Brian is missing and reward information. If you want to print this out, feel free. I personally ask that you get permission from venue management before passing out fliers at any show. The same applies to CCFA benefit fund raisers. I would hate for someone to spend $30 on fliers, only to have them confiscated before you get them all passed out.
Also at that link is a video PSA (Public Service Announcement) as well as text of the Dateline interview from 2006.

I am watching his story on E! News True Hollywood Story.called Spring Break Nightmares. All the stories are so sad.....makes you wonder what is wrong with this world.

really unbelievable that adults can just go missing in America with no further word from them. :(
That's happened with this guy who went missing from a bar downtown here back in November... he just vanished. So crazy.
I hope they're both ok...
Believe it or not there are some people that WANT to go missing. I'm not saying that's what happened with this kid in Columbus, but it could be the case. I know I've thought about it on more than a few occasions.

Yeah. I think I know what you're trying to say. I hope he didn't disappear on purpose, just saying that this could be a possibility. Of course, I don't want to infer anything either way.
I do believe he was under a lot of stress in the time leading up to his disappearance. I think (not sure), I think it was his mom who had recently passed away, plus he was in medical school.
Put those two things together and who knows what was going through his mind.
OTOH, he had a plane ticket the next day (or day after) to Florida with his girlfriend. It was thought that he was going to propose marriage to her in Florida.
There's only one person that really knows for sure, and unfortunately, we're trying to find that guy.
I was driving right past Ugly Tuna Saloona (bar where he was last seen) the other day. They had a "Still Missing" poster on display near the street corner. -- Bar isn't at the corner, but it's part of a major shopping/entertainment complex which is partially located on a corner.
If there's ANY silver lining about time passing, it's that more people come into OSU as students, and therefore more students hear about his story.
BTW - It's less than one hour until April 1st, 2008 here on the East Coast of the USA.
Two years ago today...

Though it is sad, it's time to un-sticky this thread.
I respectfully disagree, mikeg12_82.
It stays sticky.
Alex's family and friends appreciate the fact that we still care about him by keeping tabs on the case and although it has been very slow lately, it means a lot to them seeing this thread still going on the Pit with continuing support from the PJ fans.
Just ignore the sticky if it bothers you.

I'll tell you why... Brian's family and friends, including his girlfriend Alexis, do keep tabs on this thread from time to time.
they look at this thread for updates and are happy to see people still thinking about Brian and anything they could come up with.
That was what I was told a long time ago.... yeah a long time ago. :(
As I've mentioned earlier in this thread, I still have my own personal opinions about what happened.
I still stand by those guts feelings I had - that Brian's friends were somehow involved.
Anyway.
Another year of holidays gone by and missed by for Brian and his loved ones.
I'm glad to see some efforts continue on this case such as searching team from Texas, even though it was cancelled.
Lost In Ohio is pretty good at keeping us updated.
Pearl Jam fans are the best in the world where they look out for each other, like a family.
That is why this sticky stays on.

I don't have an answer, other than to make a guess that perhaps it was the private investigator?

I mean... if the worst would have happened.. he should have been found by now ..
Well, i hope his family and gf get some answers soon :(
That's what's probably the most frustrating thing about this whole saga.
A guy disappears and there's no sign of anything. No sign of foul play, no sign of where he possibly could have gone, or anything.
