BACKGROUND
Brian Randal Shaffer is a resident of Columbus and a 10 Club member. He was last seen on April 1st, 2006, at bar on the OSU campus.

Seven years ago tonight, Randy had dinner with Brian. After dinner, Brian went out drinking.

A million thank yous to the band for actually caring. If they're reading this, they have no idea how much Wishlist in Cincinnati and Come Back from 5/6/2000 Columbus mean to all of us.

Not a new site, but a redesign. Thanks for the update. I hadn't checked it in quite a while.

What a concert... and to have Mike start it off? Why didn't they release that pre-set on the bootleg? :fp:

I'm listening to the 5/6/10 show now and they're just to the point where Eddie asked Keeley to see everyone and is taking about how bad things and good things happen.

Eddie with the tease. I thought it was then he'd talk about Brian, but the usual thanks to the opening band came first.


Speaking of mysteries. I heard those words and flew past cloud 9. I swear I have almost no memory of the show from that point to the end of YL.

I saw this story and instantly thought of Brian, this is why we can never give up hope!

I haven't even been around here all that much in the last 3 years or so, and I immediately thought the same thing too.

thought the same thing too and it's all over national news right now.

This story might be on national news for a while...

Some other kids from central Ohio went missing a few days ago and were just found safe:

positive vibes..lets hope for some news..

I joined the Missing Person from Ohio Facebook page and it's amazing and sad how many Ohioans are missing. Luckily, I got to post a few "so and so has been found" notices. I think I posted the news from Cleveland a few weeks ago, but it's still sad how many people go missing.

A wallet or keys I can understand, but a friggin' person?

SiriusXM Radio is now playing Wishlist from 6/24/06 from Cincinnati!

I was just listening and I didn't make any connection, and then all of a sudden, Ed says "just wanted to share this with you" and I started being real happy inside and clapping and generally acting silly.

And for those keeping score at home, this is the third time I've heard a mention of Brian on SiriusXM's Pearl Jam Radio...THANK YOU THE ROB, AKA NHIDING FOR KEEPING IT REAL!

I don't follow this thread as much as I should...
But I always see it sticking there and every time I see it and think of you guys.

My only thought is: "Can't wait for the concert when they will be on stage telling this story and what we hoped for so long finally happened".

I am sure we are all here hoping for that moment. We are here.

geez, I can't believe this has a thread and is sticky. As a Columbus native, I'm sick of hearing about this.
He's dead or doesn't want to be found. Let's move on.

Maybe someone said that about those girls in Cleveland... We promised his dad we wouldn't rest until we found an answer. No one is forcing you to post in this thread..no one is forcing anyone to post in this thread..yet they do, because we're family and we all look out for each other. As Ed says, "Be safe, take care of yourselves and look out for each other."



But just out of curiosity, when was the last time the local media discussed the situation? I remember the Wishlist party had it as the benefactor, but I don't remember any major media coverage there...the blood drive at Kroger several years ago, but nothing huge, maybe one TV camera.

Plenty of words for you, all of which would likely get me kicked off the forum.

Good point about the Cleveland girls. And as another Columbus native I can support your notion that I have not heard the local media say anything about it anytime recently. Probably the last time I heard it discussed in any sort of public forum was at the PJ show here in 2010.
