Disappearance of Brian Shaffer

The episode then pivots into disappearances.

Brian Shaffer enters the Ugly Tuna bar in Columbus in two thousand and six and never leaves, despite surveillance, searches, and years of speculation.

Brandon Swanson vanishes after calling his parents from a dark Minnesota road.

In both cases, the common thread is ordinary nights that should have ended uneventfully but instead ended in permanent absence.

Yeah.

You know what that reminds me of? Brian Shaffer.

Brian Shaffer.

Yeah.

Welcome to the third episode of our Land of the Lost series.

In this video, we'll be discussing the disappearance of Brian Shaffer.

Please make sure you share the links in the description box and share this video so we can help Brian's family spread awareness.

Let's begin.

Lori Davis, a friend of the family's who took a particular interest in Brian's case, has dedicated countless hours of her life to finding not only Brian, but also every other missing person in Ohio.

Life moves on, but Brian, of course, will never be forgotten.

Unfortunately, despite tips still being sent in fairly regularly throughout the years, we're no closer to answering the question: what happened to Brian Shaffer? If you or anyone you know has any information about the disappearance of Brian Shaffer, born February 11th, 1979, please call 1-877-645-TIPS or 877-645-8477.

You can remain anonymous if you wish.

It's every parent's worst nightmare.

But the case that really highlights the paradox of our modern era is the 2006 case of Brian Shaffer.

Oh, this case.

He was an Ohio State medical student who walked into a bar with friends and simply was never seen leaving it.

The Brian Shaffer case captures the public's imagination so fiercely because of the presence of security cameras.

Right.

There's footage of him going in.

And that is a harsh reality of this ecosystem.
