Here's an article about a TV show which seemingly aired yesterday. I can't find any listings for it on my TV though. There's a youtube video there.

No wonder I couldn't find it. Ha!

I got that link in a note and the date is very recent. I'm not sure if it's related, but I've seen a LOT of articles recently which claim to be new stuff, but it's all rehashed stuff I've read several times over.

so if (BIG IF) he disappeared on his own volition, is there any theory as to why he'd do that?

His mom died of cancer shortly before and they were really close. He was in med school, which is obviously a stressful situation in and of itself.

Out of nowhere this morning, Brian started weighing heavily on my mind today. I hope we can get some closure soon....

Here's the video:

I watched it last night. He did look a lot like Brian. Sucks that it wasn't him.

Still, hold out HOPE that he's find.

When I clicked that video, an advertisement played before the video. It was from "The James" ... an Ohio State hospital.. I couldn't shake the jitters off of me when I saw one doctor in the ad who strikingly resembled Brian. Even though it's one angle ... it was eye popping to me. I had to re-open the link several times to get the same ad to pop up so I could capture this clip. So if you click on the video link and the same ad doesn't play for you, then keep trying to re-click the link and eventually that ad will play. I posted my video to YouTube.

I looked through all the male doctors on the hospitals website and couldn't find the lookalike.

The Ohio attorney general released an age-progressed photo of Brian today. I'll admit that I want expecting this at all.

Been aware of this story since his disappearance. I do not believe he took off, I could be wrong, but I just don't believe that.  Just breaks your heart that some people are never found, whether it be alive or the discovery of their remains.  That to me is heartbreaking.

Not speculating but certainly thinking of missing persons/unsolved cases. 

The Delaware County Sheriff's Office said a kayaker was picking up trash and debris when he spotted the bin.

Every time there's a report of a body/person found in the area, I'm torn between wanting it to be Brian and still wanting there to be hope.

Tough spot for both your hope & desire for resolution to be.

Some of you may already be aware and I know very little at this time, but...

Some time between November 14th and December 19th on HLN, there'll be an episode of some show...this episode is all about Brian's disappearance.

I asked if I could contribute stuff to the show from the PJ/10c angle, but apparently it was filmed by the time I asked. The creator/mastermind behind FindBrianShaffer.com was interviewed.

If you're on FB, join this group for more details in the show and his situation in general:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/FindBrianShaffer/

I can't guarantee I'll post info here, but if you join that group (not run by me), I'm sure you'll get more details.

Update:

HLN will air Brian's case 11/21 at 9pm.

TBH, nothing. The photo release was a total surprise.

I saw most of the show. It's on again a few more times over the next week or two.

Personally, I have zero doubt that Brian left the building. It was mentioned on the show that the nearby private dumpsters were emptied on Monday and the contents hauled to Kentucky or Tennessee (I forget which.) If someone knew they were emptied on Monday...bad news there.

It's a shame the person who posted from the library will never be found. Hypothetically, what if Brian told someone to post from Columbus?
