    I like that dude.  I am very curious on the theory he disregarded; that Brian could've drowned in a river. The Olentangy River is only a mile west of the Ugly Tuna, and it's right beside The James Cancer Hospital. With his mother's passing due to cancer only 25 days prior to his disappearance, I believe it is not only possible, but probable that he could've stumbled to one of those bridges near the cancer hospital in a fit of depression and unbearable grief and jumped off the bridge. Did the river get combed? Not that I heard...
    Clint... you sound very suspicious as well
    Burglary or altercation with unknown thugs after leaving the bar.... I can see that as well; them disposing a body after murdering him. Frick... It's a tough case that's gone on far too long. I still can't get over the image of that dude I saw in the James Cancer Hospital commercial a while ago. He looks uncannily like Brian. 
    I really think that if it was a suicide his body would have been discovered. And I still have a problem with the Clint angle since cameras show him leaving with the girl. Very strange.

  • There was an OSU football player who killed himself in late 2014. A dumpster-diver found the body in a dumpster. It was obvious the guy didn't want to be found.

    And yeah...the river was combed.

    I get that but it's very hard to believe that Brian would leave his fiancé hanging like that.

    It was really awkward during the Senior Day festivities when his photo was shown on the video screens, as he was still missing.

    I think the body was found the next afternoon.

    What, that the concussion effects got to him and he killed himself? Keep in mind it happened in 2014.

    Not sure what 2014 has to do with it but you don't think it's suspicious that he supposedly killed himself in a dumpster??  I would certainly think that the odds were greater that he was murdered and his body was dumped in a dumpster.  Not saying it's impossible, but it seems improbable to me.

    Yes i did, the article doesn't say that.  She mentioned his concussions and a recent conversation.

    A police report says Karageorge's mother told authorities he has had concussions and spells of confusion. She said he texted a message Wednesday citing the concussions and saying he was sorry if he was "an embarrassment."

    Ok, correct, she didn't specifically say that but it seems pretty apparent...

    I fairly recently saw MrBallen cover this story in one of his videos, but I think it was one of his 3-stories-in-one-video segments, so unfortunately I can't find the video. But that is some pretty major exposure for the story, so I was happy to see it!

    This is a link to Mile Higher Podcast...It was just posted this week... 

    I feel like I learned so much I hadn't known before... however, I haven't read about the case in a number of years. It is super interesting  though. Makes me really hope Brian disappeared because he wanted to... 😕
