"A Narrative"

2024.04.09 - This Episode is available in an AI Format. Currently part 18.

Greetings, I’m Edo, hailing from Scandinavia, drawn deeply into the perplexing case of a missing person that has yet to be resolved. Throughout this series, I will delve into the known facts of the case, narrating with my distinctive accent and committing to this exploration until all possible insights are exhausted and plausible scenarios are presented.

The inaugural episode admittedly focuses on the disappearance of Brian Shaffer. We revisit key details and my personal journey into this mystery, especially highlighting the areas around the bar where Brian was last seen—particularly the emergency exit/fire escape, a critical point in this case.

Given the enigmatic nature of Brian's disappearance, it's challenging to find a starting episode that does justice to the myriad of unanswered questions and the aura of mystery that surrounds it. Nevertheless, I invite you to join me in this series, hoping it will inspire you to delve deeper into the unfolding narrative.

Many, including the police and detectives who have pondered this case for over 13 years, have attempted to decode what truly happened to Brian Shaffer. Despite their efforts, the former lead detective admits to having no leads. However, by progressively uncovering details and learning about related events, we inch closer to forming hypotheses about the events of April Fool’s Day in 2006.

For newcomers to Brian's case, I recommend starting with "The introduction to the Brian Shaffer case" episode that provides a foundation before diving into "A Narrative." This will equip you with a broader understanding of the complexities involved.

We have shared an age progression photo and contact information for authorities on our Instagram page.

I appreciate any reviews or information you can provide and encourage you to share this series with others. My ultimate goal is to unearth what exactly happened to Brian Shaffer, or at the very least, to propose the most plausible explanation for his disappearance.

A Brian Shaffer Story - Part 2. Exits and Searches

Part 2. Exits and Searches

A Brian Shaffer story part 2 continues with Brian and his friends visiting the Ugly Tuna Saloona bar the second time around. We get to know the band that played in the bar and what we guess likely transpired before Brian ultimately made his way out. And how "did" he manage to get out without being seen? Afterwards I recount the immediate searches undertaken by the Columbus Police Department.

NB. At around 03.00 minutes into the episode I mention the possibility to go either left or right when arriving on the top of the escalators. And going left meant in this instance visiting the Gateway Cinema. At this hour however, when visiting the Gateway building, the Cinema was closed and this area was restricted and guarded by two on-duty police officers. They can be seen in their white uniform in the cctv footage captured around 01.55 am with Brian standing on the foyer.

This part is an episode recorded on the move with information on hopeful future releases.

I've began to look more into a set of tunnelsystem which run beneath the whole of the OSU Campus. Since the Gateway building is in direct proximity to the campus area I'm interested to see whether ending up in there was somehow a possibility.

New recordings on the aspect if Brian could have met foul play that night and vanished thereof.

A theory by a co-worker who is into alternative interests is shared. Eii yo, something happened to Brian, yes?

Update: I have posted what I compiled in writing and posted it here: Link
