About this episode

This episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of Ohio State University student Brian Shaffer during Spring Break in 2006.

On Friday, March 31st, 2006, Ohio State University medical student, Brian Shaffer, was officially free for Spring Break. He and his father, Randy, went out to a steak dinner to celebrate, and Randy immediately clocked how exhausted his son was. He had stayed up all night the evening before cramming for his exams. So, Randy was admittedly worried when Brian said he was going out drinking with his friend Clint Florence later that evening, but he kept his concerns to himself. So, at 9 PM, Brian met Clint at the Ugly Tuna Saloona, a bar in the South Campus Gateway complex on High Street in Columbus, Ohio.
