BRILLIANT MED STUDENT GOES MISSING IN BAR, NEVER COMES OUT, VANISHES: WHERE'S BRIAN?

1:15 AM Friday night, Brian Shaffer, and friends Clint Florence and Meredith Reed head up the Gateway Building’s escalator to the Ugly Tuna Saloona, a popular bar among Ohio State University students. They're celebrating the start of spring break with one last round. Shaffer gets some air, chatting with two women just outside the bar until 1:55 AM. Just 5 minutes later, the bar is closing and masses of patrons head down the escalator, but Florence and Reed can’t find Shaffer. The pair eventually assume that Shaffer went home, likely walking to his off-campus apartment just 6 blocks away.  Saturday morning, Alexis Waggoner calls her boyfriend twice to nail down some final plans for their upcoming Miami vacation. It goes straight to Brian Shaffer’s voicemail. Shaffer isn’t answering his father either. On Sunday, brother, Derek Shaffer finds Brian’s car parked outside his apartment, but no Brian. Monday morning, Brian Shaffer doesn’t show at the airport. Randy Shaffer immediately reports his son missing.   Surveillance video clearly shows Shaffer, Florence, and Reed riding the escalator up to the second floor, but Shaffer never comes back down. Surveillance cameras from nearby bars also should have spotted Shaffer leaving the Gateway Building. It appears Brian Shaffer never left the bar.
