Missing in the Midwest: The Disappearance of Brian Shaffer

27-year-old medical student Brian Shaffer disappeared from Columbus, Ohio on April 1st, 2006 after a night out with friends near The Ohio State University. He was last seen outside the Ugly Tuna Saloona before walking back inside but despite surveillance cameras capturing others entering and leaving, Brian is never seen exiting. A confirmed timeline that suddenly stops, no evidence of how he left, and a series of unanswered questions that continue to surround what really happened that night...

In this episode of Case Uncovered, I continue the Tuesday bonus series Missing in the Midwest, highlighting unsolved disappearances across the Midwest to bring renewed awareness for families still searching for answers.

Case Uncovered is a part of the non-profit The Reignited Project. I founded The Reignited Project, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting families of the missing and murdered through advocacy, education, and resources. After walking through a missing persons case within my own family, that mission became even more personal. We are now developing the Linda Brown Advocacy Protocol, a trauma-informed initiative designed to help families navigate the early stages of a missing persons case with clarity and support.
