"Security cameras captured video of him entering, but not leaving. There were three possible exits and two of them have cameras. The third was under heavy construction and would have been very tricky for an intoxicated person to travel through."
I remembered reading this when I heard about the Yale grad student who was murdered and found behind a wall. Have all these options been covered when it comes to searching the Ugly Tuna?

Aren't investigators trained to search for where a body could be hidden?
But if they still haven't found a body or any remains they obviously need to look more.
I'm in Columbus, and I was working today when someone came in to drop off a package for us, and I noticed his button on his shirt said "Brain Shaffer Missing 4.1.06" We spoke for a little bit about it and he said he was a friend of Brian's dad. He had an extra button so I'll be sporting it next Friday in San Diego! I hope someone figures out what happend that night!! Still so crazy to me!

FWIW, Brian's brother got married on August 22nd. Imagine how hard it must be for this guy to try to live a "normal" life, whatever the hell "normal" is these days for anyone. His parents and his brother should have been at his wedding.
Before I give anyone false hope, it's not the same guy, but this just happened to me:
Apparently, there was a very recent car crash in Pennsylvania involving a 32 year-old Brian Shaffer.
My personal "event timeline" went like this:
Do a Google News search for Brian Shaffer within the past day or two. (Yeah, i'm random like that. It's also how I found the article in OSU's "The Lantern" a while back.)
See articles about car crash.
Get real hopeful.
See that this guy is 32.
Do quick math. Brian was 27 when he disappeared. That puts him at 30 right now. At the time, I didn't know when his birthday was and assumed he would be 31 right now.
Think "if you want to hide, a 31 year old could EASILY pretend to be 32."
Today, I saw another article that said the "car crash" Brian Shaffer was childhood friends with someone else in the car.
It may be little stuff like this that keeps us going on. We can't quit. Not now.

His dad graduated from Lancaster High School, which is very close to Columbus and Pickerington. I'm assuming they mean Lancaster, OH, as opposed to Lancaster, PA. If they meant PA, then they obviously would have put "PA" in the obit.
Presidential Advice from President-Elect Mike McCready: "Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?"
Yeah, that rules this guy out... just weird with the same name and similar ages.... wonder if that's a common last name? If they're related?
Dang, I know you didn't want to give out false hope....but too bad it wasn't this guy in a way... finally have a "closure" as far as knowing he wasn't dead... sigh.
I'm almost tempted to email the writer of the article and give the person the missing Brian Shaffer's picture and asking if they could find out if they're somehow related or not.... at least that writer would be aware of the missing Brian Shaffer if not already....
Keeping this case open...and hoping for more information....

Well, today's "Brian Shaffer" Google News search reveals two others, one of which was arrested for dealing heroin!
I did see a "work van" at OSU today with a "Brian Shaffer, missing since 4-1-06" sticker on the rear window. It was one of those vans with the ladder racks on the top, so it obviously gets around. It's comforting in a way to know that we're not the only ones still hunting.

I was just reading a bit more about this, and I didn't realize until now that Brian has a brother, Derek. How awful for him to be the only one left after 3 short years of tragedy after tragedy. How this guy is going to cope is beyond my comprehension. Peace be with you, Derek.

This is probably not going to win awards but has anyone considered that just maybe Brian did get into heroin and that is him who was busted? Has anyone searched and looked at that guy's pic?

I was unpacking some boxes last night, just moved, and came across some stuff Randy had sent me, and his obituary. It really brought tears to my eyes. This situation has bugged me since Day #1..I just cant grasp the whole situation and NO answers..NO more news from the private investigator either. He is really after Clint though. He wants him to tell what he knows, but other than that, it seems that the family is just moving forward with their lives.
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me...GUARANTEED!

If I could bring him back again...fight to bring him back again...
I still drive past Ugly Tuna a few times each week...while listening to Pearl Jam...it's literally been the only music in my car since February or so.
best thoughts and love for you.

It's not that the non-stop Pearl Jam is directly due to Brian, it's just how it works out without having the aux-in in my current car stereo.
Awesome to hear that you'll be wearing it in San Diego! Let people know about the thread too.
BTW, you can now use www.tinyurl.com/brianshaffer to tell people about this thread.
Will do :-)

Hmm.
Yeah, it's not him cuz the article said they were childhood friends and high school sweethearts... but still...
Which brings me to another question about Brian - where was he born?
Was he born in Ohio?
I ask because one could have been born in another state and lived elsewhere before living in Ohio.... who knows?
My hubby was born in Ohio, then lived in tennessee, then several other states before settling with me here in my home state.
Sorry to hear about his brother's wedding.... hard. Mixed emotions, I'd imagine...

"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
This girl went missing at their concert so Metallica may feel responsible or guilty (even though they shouldn't).
Brian was a Pearl Jam fan who's disappearance had nothing to do with the band itself.
Ed did mention Brian's case in concert when he first disappeared though.
Shows: 05/30/03, 09/02/05, 09/04/05, 09/05/05, 09/24/05, 09/25/05, 07/22/06, 04/02/08 (EV solo), 08/08/09, 08/23/09, 08/24/09, 09/25/09, 09/21/11, 09/23/11, /9/30/12, 12/02/13... many more to come!
Good points, but another mention from the band wouldn't hurt. The video is from their Cincinnati concert in 2006. I don't have the exact date.
