Brian Shaffer - Possibly the Most Mysterious Missing Person Case Ever

As far as missing person cases go, none is arguably more mysterious than that of Brian Shaffer, the former Ohio University medical student who went missing on April 1, 2006 after a night out with his friend.

In the early morning hours of April 1, 2006, 27-year-old Brian Shaffer was captured by CCTV cameras entering the Ugly Tuna Saloona — and hasn't been seen since.

The final footage of Brian Shaffer from the security cameras at the Ugly Tuna clearly showed him walking offscreen and back toward the bar entrance before disappearing entirely. It was certainly possible that the cameras simply missed Shaffer before he left the scene. But one camera panned continuously around while the other was manually operated.

And while the bar also had one other exit, it led to a chaotic construction site. Investigators then wondered if that meant perhaps Shaffer had disappeared on purpose. He could have changed his clothes or left through the exit that led to the construction site. But Shaffer’s family has always insisted that there was no motive for him to fake his disappearance. And indeed, it seemed he had more to look forward to than to escape from.
