The bar in question, named the “Ugly Tuna Saloona”, was likely packed due to it being spring break for the students of OSU. Brian and his friend William Florence heavily drank that night before they were joined by a third friend named Meredith Reed. After a while, Brian Shaffer separated from the group and we never seen again.

Soon he was declared missing and police started an investigation. They scanned security footage, used search dogs, checked local dumpsters, sewers and rivers for a body. They couldn’t find anything.

This disappearance has became a media sensation for it’s strangeness, with a young man like Brian seemingly vanishing into thin air. There are many theories about what happened, everything ranging from him running off under a new identity to him being a victim of the Smiley Face Killer.
