Columbus area Pearl Jam fan gone missing...

:(

Here in BC it's the one-year anniversary of a teenager from the lower mainland going missing with no trace - last seen in his bedroom....

And the 15th anniversary of a little boy getting snatched from Victoria - no trace, no good leads...but still looking...the local cops have not given up hope.

This time of year seems horrible for people going missing - I mean ANY time of the year is a horrible time to go missing...it just seems that more go missing in March & April...

Still hoping that Brian gets found....

It's now officially been one year.

Alexis and Brian's family still haven't given up hope. There was a remembrance ceremony outside the Ugly Tuna Saloona (the bar where Brian was last seen) earlier today. I didn't know about it, so I didn't go, but local news media was there.

I guess Alexis and Randy (his dad) and probably other people all had a chance to speak at a microphone.

The cameras were filming Randy and managed to pick up the white shirt he had on. It had a red stripe near the top with the words "MISSING PEARL JAM FAN" at the top.

Lost In Ohio - were Brian's friends there, the ones who last saw him at the bar?

I would have thought they'd show up...

Good question. I don't know. The only video I saw of recognizable people (who we've talked about in this thread) was that of Randy (dad) and Alexis (girlfriend).

Nope, they didn't show up at all. I asked Alexis and she said no.

I'm sorry....but what kind of friends are they? :S

I'd be upset myself.

I was thinking about this early, and it seems to be lose-lose.

If they go, perhaps there's some animosity directed at them. They were the last ones to see them, maybe they do know something, maybe they don't. If they go, they can show their support, but there's also the possiblity of that animosity.

If they don't go, it may make them seem/look guilty.

It's probably not an easy decision for them to make.

That's understandable.

No contact with Randy from them that day either... even over the phone. :S

One year already. Seems like just yesterday. The leds must just be getting fewer and fewer. So dam sad. Anything is better then this. Some closer is needed. I just hope he got tired of life in Columbus and moved on somewhere and someday he will show up. Then again if he knew how desperate everyone feels I doubt he could sit back and not say anything.
So dam sad.
I tried posters in the lobby of Wooster College right down the street from me. My niece goes there. We got no bites. Sorry to the family but I tried what my little piece of world could do.
I will never stop wondering about Brian. Have you tried American's Most Wanted? Do. They seem to have a good track record. I want a good ending to this story.


to God I pray

I read the article you suggested and was totally mesmerized by the story. Such grief these people are only left with. I feel in my heart so bad for Brian's friends and family, but at the same time I pray to God never does any one of my loved ones go missing. It is a terrible exsistence and I can understand the thought that they have of wanting the person at least to be found dead so they can stop searching. Please understand this is not meant as a negative thought, I can just sence how you must need closier. I don't know how you can go on.
My heart goes out to you, sincerely.

I am an aussie fan who has been checking this thread out for a while now, and lately i've noticed that my heart skips a beat when I see this thread at the top of the page, and that there's new entries. It's like I want to know, but I'm dreading the latest news. I sincerely hope there's a positive outcome for Brian and his family. I think the response from fellow Pearl Jam fans has been absolutely amazing and shows that human compassion is alive and well and knows no bounds.

I was watching something on the E! channel the other day and I saw a commercial for a show about bad things happening on Spring Break. I could have sworn that they showed a picture of Brian. It was really quick so I am not 100% sure it was him. I believe the show is on tomorrow 4/7 at 5pm Eastern/4 Central. Once again I really don't know if it was him but I will be taping to find out.

Its on right now...... It is about him.

I stumbled across this last night and was so saddened. The fact that the cameras picked him up going back in the bar late in the night and never saw him again is very creepy. The security cams seemed to be pretty good ones in that you could clearly see the coming and goings of the bar patrons. They showed the construction area and how he could have left or been taken out that way freaked me out.
