This case has always perplexed me. First I thought maybe he got caught somewhere in the back exit service construction and the business covered it up. Or his friend knows more than he’s saying. Either way it’s really sad and super mysterious. My daughter now attends OSU and says there is an Ugly Tuna 2 but I think the original is closed. The story of his dad searching the Olentangy River is so so sad. He almost drowned once. He never gave up but never got answers. RIP Brian
Brian is my step moms cousin, she thinks he’s still alive and that he left on his own. His dad sadly died a horrible death though. Her family has been through a lot :(
I think it's realistic that he just left. I don't think he was happy at all. I think he was only in Columbus for his mom. It seems he was know pursuing medicine to please his mom. His mom was also pushing for him to get married. He also proposed running away to Alexis before he disappeared. Brian's mom was the one who purchased the vacation for him and Alexis as a gift, too. Brian also never called the jeweler for any ring. Brian also did tell Alexis to find someone else - as he was too depressed. It's also been reported that he could've been questioning his sexuality and had been in at least one gay relationship. When asked about intimacy issues Alexis didn't seem to want to answer but did say that she had always questioned if he truly loved her. It also seems that at dinner Brian and his dad had a disagreement over Brian's mothers life insurance policy. She wanted it divided between Brian, his brother and the father but the father wanted to give the boys a small amount and take the rest. In early March his parents gave him a pretty big check for his tuition, $4,500 and it was never paid or given to The Ohio State University. It was never cashed and never found. Brian and his brother were never close but Brian invited his brother to go out with him that night. His brother had plans though. It really sounds like there wasn't too much keeping Brian here in Columbus. It sounds like he wanted out. I think that if his friend was involved in any way, it was to help him disappear. I think Brian could've hid a change of clothes,, goes to the bathroom, changes out of what he was last seen in and walks out without being noticed. As for the theory that he's never left the bar, the real construction for it was done before he went missing. For all these reasons added up, I think he just left and started over.
@@kiarahidalgo0730 took some digging but I found a lot of that information and it was new to me as well. But after hearing all of that I really think he just peaced out. As a Columbus native it makes sense
I got drunk with my “friends” at a park one time. I passed out at a picnic bench, when I woke up, every single one of them was gone. They literally left me there drunk and passed out. I had to walk 7 miles to a friends house extremely drunk. I have no idea how I even did it. It felt like a 5 minute walk. So for his phone to be found 14 miles away, doesn’t scream at me too much considering he looks to be very athletic
Had “friends like that to” got extremely drunk with some friends and I woke up in someone’s back yard on the bed of a pick up. I didn’t know where I was or how I got there I ended up walking and pewking home on sunrise
I can't stop thinking about his phone ringing after 6 months of going straight to voicemail. Like she said, when it goes straight to voicemail, its off or it is dead. Therefore someone had to have turned it on or charged it. And my question now is who and how did it get 14 miles away from where he was last seen? Not knowing answers drives me crazy but i hope they find them soon and give the family some closure!
I think I read on a Reddit for this disappearance that the phone company came forward and said that there were glitches in the system at that time, so the phone ringing couldn’t be too reliable.
yeah, as lanie said, this has been explained by several people as basically just little glitches that can happen in the phone lines. I think this was just a red herring.
I literally love when you said: “I believe that if you go together you leave together.” Savannah, I could not agree more. That’s how I was brought up and raised too. I also believe in that statement wholeheartedly. Because, I’m not going to leave my friend(s) if we go to party together, we ARE leaving together, regardless!! That is the NUMBER ONE party rule!
I live in Columbus. For YEARS people say that he was killed and put in the constitution zone and covered with the cement in the walls. Ugly tuna is now closed.
Apparently the PI for the family said the construction was almost done and all they really had to do were the walls. He said there was nothing to fall into because the floor was already there.
I have to say that if I were ever brought in for questioning concerning a crime, I would NEVER take a lie detector and I would get a lawyer before talking to any police. I don't think this shows guilt, I think it shows intelligence. Even innocent people can easily be found guilty for a crime. There's a reason that lie detector tests are not permitted as evidence. And if you know nothing about law, why would you go into a situation without knowing as much as possible? Maybe it's just my opinion, but I'm really tired of people automatically assuming others are guilty when they don't want to take a lie detector or when they ask for a lawyer. It's more important to look at evidence.
I would be begging them to take my blood, saliva, phone and give me a lie detector test so that they could move on past me and focus the detectives on following other leads. I would never torture the family of a missing person by being such a selfish a-hole. Even if I had a lawyer to help explain the process, I would still cooperate in any and every way.
I agree with you on some points, however I think it was also the in the bigger picture people found Clint suspicious, such as talking badly about Brian after, not really helping searching for Brian or truly cooperating with Police, moving away shortly after Brian has gone missing and then in regards to the test, him asking to be granded immunity in case of taking the lie detector test. This could be because he was scared of getting framed or blamed for something he did not do or because he really knows more. I guess people cannot grasp what happend they look for the most easy answer - But, one thing that does intruiged me, is that Brian was not active in his search and almost seemed annoyed about the case- stating he wouldn't talk the police anymore as everything he knew he already told, which could be so, but if u are a committed friend, would you just not help in any other way? It does question me the strength of their friendship
Sylke Terpstra That’s a good point. It does make you question their friendship. More so though it makes me question his character in general. I don’t understand not trying to help search for anyone you know. Even if you can’t be out on foot searching, he could have been printing fliers, helping field any social media tips or questions, organizing volunteers. He could have and should have been trying to help if he’s innocent.
Becky Mash I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people. I realize that could be coming from a perspective of privilege and you could be speaking from a different perspective. I hear you but I would make a different choice.
Agreed. You really shouldn't be talking to the police without a lawyer, even if you're trying to help. And if its at the lie detector stage, you definitely need one, cuz they're fishing.
There’s only like 3 people who I actually enjoy listening to these sort of cases, and you’re definitely one of them! I’m happy to have found this channel
Too many comments on how great your hair looks - and it does. But I wish more people could show some respect for the story and comment on that. It’s like a locked room mystery, since there was only 2 ways out and the exit with the video surveillance is out. I think he met his demise in the construction zone and his body is still there.
ReallyRho I totally agree! Other true crime female RUclipsrs say not to put those comments because relatives of the victims read them sometimes and it sounds so insensitive...it’s nice that they put a comment like that, but there’s a time and a place. She has other beauty videos where these type of comments can be made. I really love her content but feel horrible if a family member reads them...just my humble opinion...please don’t come at me...just trying to look out for family members of the victims...❤️😘❤️
I live here and remember when this all started. I’ve been in the bar and it’s honestly tiny up there. He seriously couldn’t have gone far. Another theory bc of our location, his mental state, and time it happened, people thought maybe the smiley face murderers had something to do with it. But only conflict is the not finding the body thing. I hope they solve this. For his girlfriend and brother
I dont think smiley killers exist but might be something more sinister operating all over the world. Bcs i know for at least 5 cases similair to Brians that happened in Europe.
I'm getting sick of people commenting saying that he was "cemented over" or "stuffed inside the walls," they thoroughly checked this entire place, had sniffer dogs in too but there was no trace of him... I think that whatever happened to him was quick and calculated. It sounds like he was definitely up to something while in that bar that night. His friends said he kept walking off then returning to them, then he walked off one last time, then he was gone. The fact that he was not seen leaving on any camera is very odd, but it also points out that it was intentional, whether it was Brian planning to disappear or someone made him disappear. If I'm being honest, I think that the idea of someone else making Brian disappear from the bar without being seen on cameras & not causing any suspicion, is unlikely. The idea of Brian intending to leave the bar undetected sounds the more likely. With there being no evidence of a murder or struggle taking place in the bar tells me that whatever happened to him, must have been away from the building... I think he got out of there & made further decisions which lead to the scenario of him never being found.
I think Clint had something to do with it as much he refuses to talk and wanted a lawyer is suspicious to me. I feel like the police should investigate him because something is not adding up. It's really sad that he's not found.
I was thinking that too. But @cammey3, you are probably exactly correct. Or I know if it were my parents, or my children, I would keep paying the phone bill "just in case."
When my mom passed away, my dad kept paying for her cell phone for a few months. Just so he could call it and hear her voice😢😢 I'm going to guess that his family paid his phone bill
Maybe he was a victim of the smiley face killers? The psychic said that his body was thrown in a water and if you know anything about the smiley face killers they always go after young men who are partying, kill them and throw them into a water..
Idk about the Smiley Face Killers though, cause there’s been A LOT of young men found in water in these same situations without any smiley faces near them. A Sobering Coincidence by David Paulides is an entire book filled with stories exactly like Shaffer’s
Which door are you talking about? And you're right, he definitely DID walk out another door... which wasn't the doors at the bottom of the escalator. Either HE walked out another door, or someone carried him out. Those are the only two possibilities of how his body left that building... but he definitely did not leave the same way he came in.
But wasn’t he seen going up the escalator to the bar at 1:55? If so they never saw him come back down and the other door is on the first floor right? Footage should’ve caught him coming down to get to that door.
No, he arrived at the building and went up the escalator at 1:15am, so he was there for roughly 45 minutes. He came out of the bar and spoke with the two women at the top of the escalator, then he walked away from them but was never seen leaving the building by walking down the escalator... and his two friends were trying to find him inside the bar around 1:55am because the bar was closing at 2:00am. It appeared that he ditched his friends and went somewhere else instead of leaving with them.
Oh okay cause the way it sounded was like he went back I tot he actual bar part from the restaurant at 1:55 in which there’s a camera to see that. But they never saw him actually leave which if the first part is right the camera would have caught for sure. But you’re saying he never went back up the escalator at 1:55 just away from those 2 women.
@@angelinagrubb2010 Yes, if you look at the footage, you can see him talking to the two women, then he walks away from them off camera, you don't ever see him approach the escalators again... he walks away from the women & the escalators as if to go back inside the bar again. But we don't actually know if he went back into the actual Bar, because the camera can't see if he went back in there, or if he walked out another door on the opposite side of the escalators (the left of the Bar's entrance)... this is why the case is so strange because no one seems to know were he went.
I’ve noticed that most cases I see where the victim was drinking and their friends couldn’t find them, it’s often men. Is this a normal occurrence for men? To leave without being able to find their friend? I know that I along with all my friends would never leave the bar without knowing where all our friends are
Oh yeah when guys go out partying its every man for himself. I would say 90 percent of the time I went out with a group of guy friends I would end the night with totally different people. Same for my buddies. Women are different in this way apparently.
Also what i do when i cant fall asleep is switch on to killer instict on spotify and set the sleep timer till the end of one episode...andd omg lo an behold by the time the episode gets over am fast asleep due to your calm and just soothing and therapeutic voice.
I feel like the theory that he just took off to start a new life would make more sense if he hadn’t written his tests or exams the night he went missing. Why would he study so hard and even bother writing the tests if was planning on going away? And why book a trip? You can’t just disappear without a trace (willingly) overnight, he would have had to plan some stuff. So why also bother with exams? And bother booking a trip? It just seems suspicious to me. And, like you said, he was intoxicated
Sounds like all of his friends drank. No one stayed sober to be responsible to get all home safe. Case after case people go missing and killed when friends or so called friends are very irresponsible. Leave one behind or let them go home alone. There should be planned pairs. And yous stick together.
I lived near there and worked like 3 shops down from the Ugly Tuna when it happened. So many stories that he fell in the construction zone area where walls were being built and nobody notice. People say Clint and him got into it and he hide him in walls being built now he lives in the walls there. I’d think if Clint left the group at anytime the female would of noticed something odd. Every time a missing body comes up in the water the first thoughts are always of Brian.
I remembered when this happened. I'm originally from Springfield Ohio which is quite close to where all this happened. It was on the news for months and no one could come up with anything except he didn't leave the bar or was in a disguise when he left. None of the rest makes sense!
This case is hard ..... I think that he went out the ‘service’ door, was accidentally killed on the construction site and his body is underneath whatever was built (but why wasn’t he found before whatever was finished being built); or he went out the ‘service’ door and disappeared on purpose to start a new life (but that would have been hard to achieve being intoxicated); or he did disappear on purpose with the help of Clint (it just seems strange that Clint lawyered up and wouldn’t do a polygraph test). I can’t make up my mind one way or the other what happened! It is a very odd and interesting case!
the only possible theory I can think of is it it was bad weather conditions overnight so the corpse was muddy and sunken down. and careless/ unassuming workers the next morning.
or another theory he stumbled out the side door an while walking in the construction sight an came across a few drunk guy up to no good an was killed so they could keep doing what ever they were doing an they dropped his body into a cement pitan pushed him down into it an then smoothed it over an now his body is forever part of the building that stands their now
This case is so strange to me.. I live here and I’ve been to the Ugly Tuna on OSU campus.. it just doesn’t make sense how he disappeared.. someone knows something
Oh. My. God. Girl. Your hair is absolutely stunning! I love how well balanced you are. You're eating well, you have great relationships, you love what you do, you're successful, you can sing! You're beautiful, funny, smart, kind, and just an all over perfect image of my goals! I so hope I get to someday see you at a meet and greet! I love your content and everything you stand for as a person. Keep doing you Sav!
I think he’s dead. It would be almost impossible to disappear without a Trace like that and I don’t think he would have done that to his family at such a delicate time. I want this solved in my life time.
So he is on camera walking in at 115 and again walking in at 155, so is there no video of him walking out between 115-155? It’s really weird that he would have had to exit the property TWICE but was only seen walking in? Weird.
absolutely love you: you're such a great story-telller. i just texted my sister (who goes to osu; i am a cleveland native) and asked if she has ever been to the ugly tuna.
My dad always told me growing up whoever I go with to make sure we all leave together! There are times my homegirls meet guys at the bar and wanna leave with them and I don’t let them and tell that guy if he wants to pick her up another day he can! All my friends knew if we went out together we all going home together! I never can wrap my head around this! 😭🥺
This really hit home. I live in Columbus. And i have went to the Ugly Tuna several times and bar hopped in that area. Really makes me think twice about nights out
Well, whatever the outcome, I really hope you will update us on this Savannah B. You really did a great job on this. I'm going to listen to another one now. Let us know if you find out anything please.
This case drives me crazy - i desperately want to see all of the videos from that building/bar that night myself. I feel like they had to have missed something important. He left that bar, either by walking out (a glitch, or they missed him, etc) or in a container of some sort. The back door theory is possible too, but there should be footage of him inside that bar showing if he went that way surely, right??
Odalys Garcia you are one of very few that have mentioned the case. Thank you. Beauty fades. Shocked at the frivolous remarks when a man is missing and more likely passed.
I'm confused on which case it was,, I thought it was this one. A young man went missing near a construction site, and later cadaver dogs picked up the scent, also the missing man's scent, but nothing was found. I thought it was Brian. Very perplexing case with a lot of possibilities in a small area technically.
Kasatka naw, that’s the kid who was out with friends and left all his cards n stuff at the bar .. went to get pizza but didn’t have his card so he kept walking.. walked thru some really bad neighbor hood and that was it.. they believe some thugs got him and buried him on a construction site and a lady walking her dog noticed how the dog kept wanting to take her over there and it stunk real bad.. nothing ever came of it but yet they never dug anything up either
The myspace thing doesn’t mean anything. I went to dental school and the pressure sometimes gets you to talk like that and post things like that I’ve posted countless times how many things i’d rather be doing and it’s just out of frustration and exhaustion but never meant any of it literally. Idk it doesn’t make sense to me. The thing that gets to me the most in this case is that the phone rang 6 months after. If you hurt someone and got away with it why keep their phone and try using it.
I was so wrapped up in this case when I saw it on tv many years ago. I ended up contacting Brian's dad and speaking to him about the case. Also, Alexis had a diary of sorts and kept track of how she felt each day. I think that he left out of the service entrance and was walking home. I think he fell into the river and drowned or he met foul play. I do not believe that he planned to escape because he loved Alexis and his family. 😭
Was he getting engaged? Or was that just wishful thinking. His dad said he looked tired out. If he had drank lots and was tired, maybe done drugs. Maybe after talking to the two women, did they say what he was talking about? Was he depressed or anything. He could have left the pub and like most men, go for a pee and fall in the river.
@@tanyafletcher7567 Yes there was no report of him buying a ring so proposal was just speculation. As for the river a detective said flat out he would’ve been found by now. He likely left with someone through service exit. Got in a car and met with foul play.
I believe he went back to the bar .. He was being attacked and when everyone left , the surveillance camera was being turn off by somebody . It can be somebody work inside the bar . Hide him somewhere and murder him ( the reasons was not known ) Because there are security officer standing in the scene where camera filmed , if he had wanted to enter the emergency exit , they would have stop him . And the way he appear when he want up to bar was pretty normal , if he intend to go missing , he would might as well go down the escalator . Why would he take the trouble by going to the emergency exit when he appear sober and even have conversations with the two woman . I believe he was murdered .
A thought on the last theory about the dismemberment, did security footage show any employees carrying out large bags of some sort? Or maybe they threw his body in the dumpster to be taken away. Either way I feel like the bar has way more to do with this than just being his last known location. I hope that his family can get closure one day:(
Its hard to imagine one family having so much tragedy in such a short time. Brian intentionally disappearing I feel is the least likely of all possible situations. That would take time, planning, money, etc, and I agree that he wouldn't disappear on a drunken night where he was already exhausted from him schooling. Its important that people realize that he had told his dad that he would be there for him and see him through the hardship of them having just loss the wife/mom (another reason him disappearing does not add up). Initially I thought that because of his passion for music, he would have made small talk with the band at closing time and maybe something happened with a band member; but that back door security camera never showed Brian leaving that way. So I suppose the only 2 theories I give weight to is either that he was hurt/injured/killed inside the bar, and his body was concealed, and then removed from the bar at a later time to avoid detection (trash bin, etc) or, that for whatever reason he went through that side door, was hurt or injured in the construction site. Its hard to get the full picture of him having died or being injured in the construction site area being we dont have any visuals of how complicated, or hazardous that area would have been. As for Clint lawyering up, I think this is just something that alot of people do for self protection for the fear that will take blame from public opinion. I dont see it as a form of guilt. Even if we entertain the idea that Clint would have been involved, that would be super risky for him to pull something off with Meredith there the entire time. As for the smiley face killer theory, I dont even know if I fully believe that is a real thing, though alot of young men do get intoxicated and for whatever reason end up in body's of water, I just dont know if I have seen enough evidence that leads me to believe that such a killer does exist. I feel that whatever happened to Brian, is one of those very odd, 1 percent chance of it happening to someone scenerios, If I had to really go with just one theory, I guess it's most likely the construction site theory would hold the most probability, but I do agree, it makes no sense as to why he would go through that side door; clearly he was aware of the entrance and exit being the same door. My deepest condolences to his brother, how had to endure the loss of his entire family in such a short amount of time.
The theory that he got into a bar fight and was unalived then taken apart is so stupid. I'm sorry but you're telling me this man got into a bar fight, so bad that the other person wanted to do away with him, and no one at all heard or saw said fight? Not even the cameras? And let's just say that somehow happened. So then what? The person unalived Brian and took him apart, all in the matter of a couple hours? Without anyone seeing it happen or even hearing it? And it was done just without any traces of DNA evidence or any evidence of struggle? I'm sorry but that's just not realistic. I think it's more realistic that he just left. I don't think he was happy at all. I think he was only in Columbus for his mom. It seems he was only pursuing medicine to please his mom. His mom was also pushing for him to get married, she gave him the name and number of a jeweler but he never called. Brian's mom was the one who purchased the vacation for him and Alexis as a gift, too. He proposed running away to Alexis before he disappeared. Brian also did tell Alexis to find someone else - as he was too depressed. It's also been reported that he could've been questioning his sexuality and had been in at least one gay relationship. When asked about intimacy issues, Alexis didn't seem to want to answer but did say that she had always questioned if he truly loved her. It also seems that at dinner Brian and his dad had a disagreement over Brian's mothers life insurance policy. She wanted it divided evenly between Brian, his brother and the father but the father wanted to give the boys a small amount and take the rest. That was the reason for the dinner - to discuss this matter. In early March, his parents gave him a pretty big check for his tuition. $4,500, I believe and it was never paid or given to The Ohio State University. It was never cashed and never found. Brian and his brother were also never close but Brian did invite his brother to go out with him the night he disappeared. His brother had plans though and couldn't make it. Alexis called his phone every single day for 6 months, hoping some day he would answer. She said it always would go straight to voice-mail, but one day when she called it rang 3 times. When she called again it was back to going to voice mail. Now, his phone company had come out saying that there was a glitch in the system that day. That the phone ringing 3 times isn't reliable as it was likely part of the glitch as it used to happen semi regularly. It really sounds like there wasn't too much keeping Brian here in Columbus. It sounds like he wanted out. Maybe to start fresh, i know many of us Ohioans can relate. I think that if his friend was involved in any way, it was to help him disappear. I think Brian could've hid a change of clothes in the bar, went to the bathroom, changed out of what he was last seen in and walked out without being noticed. As for the theory that he's never left the bar, the real construction for it was done before he went missing so he couldn't possibly be "part of" the construction. For all these reasons added up, I think he just left and started over.
Wait... so if there was a band then they had to leave through the front door and probably take their equipment with them at some point? So they could remove a dead (or alive) body couldn’t they?
I LOVE YOUR HAIR! I am so jealous, you always have such pretty hair. I want to do the same thing but I AM TOO SCARED TO EVER DO SO. -P.s I LOVE you, I have been watching you since you started
It reminds me of an Irish guy called Trevor Deeley, who vanished into thin air in Dublin during 2000, another mystery of all mysteries! Shaffer is a real odd one though !!!!
I'm from Columbus and this is the case that keeps me awake at night wondering what happened. Ultimately I think he was killed outside the bar by someone.
Is there any information on the events of who they spoke to, what did they drink did they pay cash anything in regards to the activities in the bar? I havent seen much on that If anything. Also there are reports that when Clint went to the apartment he stayed for 5-6 hours? Is that confirmed anywhere?
I love your video's! Your amazing at everything you do! We have a case here in Taos, NM concerning a lady named Holly White that would be an interesting case for you to do!
I've worked in this building where Ugly tuna is located. Now the door takes you to an alley that is secured. Only thing that would be being built behind it was the parking garage which isnt that big. I wish we could see pics of the construction. Also this building today has other bars, restaurants and a movie theater. I wanna say back then they were all still there. I graduated high school that year so I didnt spend time on the campus which is for Ohio State University.
Well have two theories. 1st: Clint is involved in Brian’s disappearance & this is why he doesn’t want to take polygraph. And OR 2nd: Maybe Brian wanted to start a new life, he told Clint & they both made this plan of coming to this bar & disappear. 🤔 Is there other videos showing Brian, Clint first arriving to the bar around 9pm & another video showing them leaving! We only see footage of when supposedly Brian, Clint came back the second time but now with the girl @1:15am, but what if this video is the actual 1st time they all arrived to this bar 🤔 and @ 1:55am Brian intentionally came out from the inside to be seen on cámara, then Brian went back inside changed to different cloths & walked down the escalator. This is why Clint doesn’t want to take the polygraph
the fact that she called him everyday for 6 months straight breaks my heart :(
how a phone can ring for 6 months somebody has to pay for a service .
@@paolavazquez6898 people have paid for the service just to hear the voicemail of ppl that have died

In early March his parents gave him a pretty big check for his tuition, $4,500 and it was never paid or given to The Ohio State University. It was never cashed and never found. Brian and his brother were never close but Brian invited his brother to go out with him that night. His brother had plans though.
It really sounds like there wasn't too much keeping Brian here in Columbus. It sounds like he wanted out. I think that if his friend was involved in any way, it was to help him disappear. I think Brian could've hid a change of clothes,, goes to the bathroom, changes out of what he was last seen in and walks out without being noticed.
As for the theory that he's never left the bar, the real construction for it was done before he went missing.
For all these reasons added up, I think he just left and started over.
@@spaceycasey2225 Your theory makes a lot of sense. I had thought of the same thing.
@@kiarahidalgo0730 took some digging but I found a lot of that information and it was new to me as well. But after hearing all of that I really think he just peaced out. As a Columbus native it makes sense
What if Clint knew he was leaving and starting a new life and that’s why he lawyered up and didn’t want to take the test.
sabrinamariep47 That’s what I was thinking.
AND maybe he switched outfits with someone and maybe that is why no one saw him through the camera footage.
LITERALLY what i was thinking. what if clint helped him w this escape plan
He couldn't have kept that secret for so long. Especially when you see his family that are broken. No way.
and why would he want a second life? It doesn’t make sense
I got drunk with my “friends” at a park one time. I passed out at a picnic bench, when I woke up, every single one of them was gone. They literally left me there drunk and passed out. I had to walk 7 miles to a friends house extremely drunk. I have no idea how I even did it. It felt like a 5 minute walk. So for his phone to be found 14 miles away, doesn’t scream at me too much considering he looks to be very athletic
Good explanation of the phone, but still can’t figure out y he is missing
girl, i hope you dropped those friends. they don't sound like people worth spending time with if they don't look after you when ur wasted as shit lol.
How could they leave you passed out, that's bullshit...they are not ur friends
Had “friends like that to” got extremely drunk with some friends and I woke up in someone’s back yard on the bed of a pick up. I didn’t know where I was or how I got there I ended up walking and pewking home on sunrise
claudia rachael I never talked to them again. I didn’t even get in contact to let them know I was safe!
I can't stop thinking about his phone ringing after 6 months of going straight to voicemail. Like she said, when it goes straight to voicemail, its off or it is dead. Therefore someone had to have turned it on or charged it. And my question now is who and how did it get 14 miles away from where he was last seen? Not knowing answers drives me crazy but i hope they find them soon and give the family some closure!
I think I read on a Reddit for this disappearance that the phone company came forward and said that there were glitches in the system at that time, so the phone ringing couldn’t be too reliable.
yeah, as lanie said, this has been explained by several people as basically just little glitches that can happen in the phone lines. I think this was just a red herring.
Actually, his phone pinged off a tower 14 miles away at Hilliard, but his phone has never been found.
I think he dumped it. Someone found it and turned it on but seeing all the messages probably left it again. Or it died and was abandoned
I literally love when you said: “I believe that if you go together you leave together.” Savannah, I could not agree more. That’s how I was brought up and raised too. I also believe in that statement wholeheartedly. Because, I’m not going to leave my friend(s) if we go to party together, we ARE leaving together, regardless!! That is the NUMBER ONE party rule!
I live in Columbus. For YEARS people say that he was killed and put in the constitution zone and covered with the cement in the walls. Ugly tuna is now closed.
Arion Marie that’s what I was thinking
My issue with this is why the dogs couldn't pick up his scent.
roxcyn I don’t think they went in the construction site all the way.
Apparently the PI for the family said the construction was almost done and all they really had to do were the walls. He said there was nothing to fall into because the floor was already there.
But whyyyy?????
I have to say that if I were ever brought in for questioning concerning a crime, I would NEVER take a lie detector and I would get a lawyer before talking to any police. I don't think this shows guilt, I think it shows intelligence. Even innocent people can easily be found guilty for a crime. There's a reason that lie detector tests are not permitted as evidence. And if you know nothing about law, why would you go into a situation without knowing as much as possible? Maybe it's just my opinion, but I'm really tired of people automatically assuming others are guilty when they don't want to take a lie detector or when they ask for a lawyer. It's more important to look at evidence.
I would be begging them to take my blood, saliva, phone and give me a lie detector test so that they could move on past me and focus the detectives on following other leads. I would never torture the family of a missing person by being such a selfish a-hole. Even if I had a lawyer to help explain the process, I would still cooperate in any and every way.
I agree with you on some points, however I think it was also the in the bigger picture people found Clint suspicious, such as talking badly about Brian after, not really helping searching for Brian or truly cooperating with Police, moving away shortly after Brian has gone missing and then in regards to the test, him asking to be granded immunity in case of taking the lie detector test. This could be because he was scared of getting framed or blamed for something he did not do or because he really knows more. I guess people cannot grasp what happend they look for the most easy answer - But, one thing that does intruiged me, is that Brian was not active in his search and almost seemed annoyed about the case- stating he wouldn't talk the police anymore as everything he knew he already told, which could be so, but if u are a committed friend, would you just not help in any other way? It does question me the strength of their friendship
Sylke Terpstra That’s a good point. It does make you question their friendship. More so though it makes me question his character in general. I don’t understand not trying to help search for anyone you know. Even if you can’t be out on foot searching, he could have been printing fliers, helping field any social media tips or questions, organizing volunteers. He could have and should have been trying to help if he’s innocent.
Becky Mash I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people. I realize that could be coming from a perspective of privilege and you could be speaking from a different perspective. I hear you but I would make a different choice.
Agreed. You really shouldn't be talking to the police without a lawyer, even if you're trying to help. And if its at the lie detector stage, you definitely need one, cuz they're fishing.
There’s only like 3 people who I actually enjoy listening to these sort of cases, and you’re definitely one of them! I’m happy to have found this channel
Too many comments on how great your hair looks - and it does. But I wish more people could show some respect for the story and comment on that.
It’s like a locked room mystery, since there was only 2 ways out and the exit with the video surveillance is out. I think he met his demise in the construction zone and his body is still there.
ReallyRho I totally agree! Other true crime female RUclipsrs say not to put those comments because relatives of the victims read them sometimes and it sounds so insensitive...it’s nice that they put a comment like that, but there’s a time and a place. She has other beauty videos where these type of comments can be made. I really love her content but feel horrible if a family member reads them...just my humble opinion...please don’t come at me...just trying to look out for family members of the victims...❤️😘❤️
Thank you for saying this; so true! These are real victims with real families that love and miss them!
I live here and remember when this all started. I’ve been in the bar and it’s honestly tiny up there. He seriously couldn’t have gone far. Another theory bc of our location, his mental state, and time it happened, people thought maybe the smiley face murderers had something to do with it. But only conflict is the not finding the body thing. I hope they solve this. For his girlfriend and brother
I dont think smiley killers exist but might be something more sinister operating all over the world. Bcs i know for at least 5 cases similair to Brians that happened in Europe.
There must be a simple explanation as to what occurred
I'm getting sick of people commenting saying that he was "cemented over" or "stuffed inside the walls," they thoroughly checked this entire place, had sniffer dogs in too but there was no trace of him... I think that whatever happened to him was quick and calculated. It sounds like he was definitely up to something while in that bar that night. His friends said he kept walking off then returning to them, then he walked off one last time, then he was gone. The fact that he was not seen leaving on any camera is very odd, but it also points out that it was intentional, whether it was Brian planning to disappear or someone made him disappear.
If I'm being honest, I think that the idea of someone else making Brian disappear from the bar without being seen on cameras & not causing any suspicion, is unlikely. The idea of Brian intending to leave the bar undetected sounds the more likely. With there being no evidence of a murder or struggle taking place in the bar tells me that whatever happened to him, must have been away from the building... I think he got out of there & made further decisions which lead to the scenario of him never being found.
I think Clint had something to do with it as much he refuses to talk and wanted a lawyer is suspicious to me. I feel like the police should investigate him because something is not adding up. It's really sad that he's not found.
But if he disappeared who was paying his phone bill? If he had his own then the service would be shut off unless his family paid for it..
I was thinking the same thing.
He might have had a nice bank balance that the payments just automatically came out of
I was thinking that too. But @cammey3, you are probably exactly correct. Or I know if it were my parents, or my children, I would keep paying the phone bill "just in case."
When my mom passed away, my dad kept paying for her cell phone for a few months. Just so he could call it and hear her voice😢😢
I'm going to guess that his family paid his phone bill
Hi @Kay Shea, he was on a family plan.
Maybe he was a victim of the smiley face killers? The psychic said that his body was thrown in a water and if you know anything about the smiley face killers they always go after young men who are partying, kill them and throw them into a water..
And sometimes they're missing for months before they pop up in the rivers
No the police searched the lake
Idk about the Smiley Face Killers though, cause there’s been A LOT of young men found in water in these same situations without any smiley faces near them. A Sobering Coincidence by David Paulides is an entire book filled with stories exactly like Shaffer’s
Stefanie C. Yea it also doesn’t really explain how he got out of that bar
I kinda agree with you.
I’m from Columbus Ohio, thank you for bringing this to light again. We don’t even hear about it here anymore and it’s super sad😢😢
I always find at least one theory that I agree with but I’m stuck on this one
Everyone keeps saying "if he went through the other door." Theres no "if" at all. He went through the other door. He didn't vanish into thin air.
Which door are you talking about? And you're right, he definitely DID walk out another door... which wasn't the doors at the bottom of the escalator. Either HE walked out another door, or someone carried him out. Those are the only two possibilities of how his body left that building... but he definitely did not leave the same way he came in.
But wasn’t he seen going up the escalator to the bar at 1:55? If so they never saw him come back down and the other door is on the first floor right? Footage should’ve caught him coming down to get to that door.
No, he arrived at the building and went up the escalator at 1:15am, so he was there for roughly 45 minutes. He came out of the bar and spoke with the two women at the top of the escalator, then he walked away from them but was never seen leaving the building by walking down the escalator... and his two friends were trying to find him inside the bar around 1:55am because the bar was closing at 2:00am. It appeared that he ditched his friends and went somewhere else instead of leaving with them.
Oh okay cause the way it sounded was like he went back I tot he actual bar part from the restaurant at 1:55 in which there’s a camera to see that. But they never saw him actually leave which if the first part is right the camera would have caught for sure. But you’re saying he never went back up the escalator at 1:55 just away from those 2 women.
@@angelinagrubb2010 Yes, if you look at the footage, you can see him talking to the two women, then he walks away from them off camera, you don't ever see him approach the escalators again... he walks away from the women & the escalators as if to go back inside the bar again. But we don't actually know if he went back into the actual Bar, because the camera can't see if he went back in there, or if he walked out another door on the opposite side of the escalators (the left of the Bar's entrance)... this is why the case is so strange because no one seems to know were he went.
I’ve noticed that most cases I see where the victim was drinking and their friends couldn’t find them, it’s often men. Is this a normal occurrence for men? To leave without being able to find their friend? I know that I along with all my friends would never leave the bar without knowing where all our friends are
Oh yeah when guys go out partying its every man for himself. I would say 90 percent of the time I went out with a group of guy friends I would end the night with totally different people. Same for my buddies. Women are different in this way apparently.
Also what i do when i cant fall asleep is switch on to killer instict on spotify and set the sleep timer till the end of one episode...andd omg lo an behold by the time the episode gets over am fast asleep due to your calm and just soothing and therapeutic voice.
I feel like the theory that he just took off to start a new life would make more sense if he hadn’t written his tests or exams the night he went missing. Why would he study so hard and even bother writing the tests if was planning on going away? And why book a trip? You can’t just disappear without a trace (willingly) overnight, he would have had to plan some stuff. So why also bother with exams? And bother booking a trip? It just seems suspicious to me. And, like you said, he was intoxicated
i wonder how well he did on those exams and tests- you know? this whole case is so bizarre..
He was only going to med school for his mom, and his mom was the one who booked the trip. It was a gift for the couple.
Girl literally I stay up all night researching this stuff!!! I love that you do this so much!!! Love also how caring you are about these matters.
Sounds like all of his friends drank. No one stayed sober to be responsible to get all home safe. Case after case people go missing and killed when friends or so called friends are very irresponsible. Leave one behind or let them go home alone. There should be planned pairs. And yous stick together.
They're going to find him this year.
You'll see.
Katrina Rose why do you say so?
Katrina Rose what 🤭
Why ?
That's a weird thing to say
Well that doesn’t raise any suspicions
So glad you’re covering this case as someone in and from Columbus. I think about this all the time.
Can we also get a closet tour because your style is amazing and i want to know what to get for the summer and up coming winter
I lived near there and worked like 3 shops down from the Ugly Tuna when it happened. So many stories that he fell in the construction zone area where walls were being built and nobody notice. People say Clint and him got into it and he hide him in walls being built now he lives in the walls there. I’d think if Clint left the group at anytime the female would of noticed something odd. Every time a missing body comes up in the water the first thoughts are always of Brian.
I remembered when this happened. I'm originally from Springfield Ohio which is quite close to where all this happened. It was on the news for months and no one could come up with anything except he didn't leave the bar or was in a disguise when he left. None of the rest makes sense!
This case is hard ..... I think that he went out the ‘service’ door, was accidentally killed on the construction site and his body is underneath whatever was built (but why wasn’t he found before whatever was finished being built); or he went out the ‘service’ door and disappeared on purpose to start a new life (but that would have been hard to achieve being intoxicated); or he did disappear on purpose with the help of Clint (it just seems strange that Clint lawyered up and wouldn’t do a polygraph test). I can’t make up my mind one way or the other what happened! It is a very odd and interesting case!
the only possible theory I can think of is it it was bad weather conditions overnight so the corpse was muddy and sunken down. and careless/ unassuming workers the next morning.
Kelsi Ternes ..... I like your theory!!
Yeah, I cannot decide which theory to go with!
It certainly is a very very hard case to know which theory to go with!!
Your hair looks amazinggg!!!😍😍
Missing on April fools day... what a sad situation that it wasn't a joke:(
My parents live in Pickerington Ohio! This case confuses me on so many levels! Hope they eventually find answers to what happened.
Thanks for the upload Sav! I love your ‘true crime’ / ‘real life’ vids!
I live in Columbus and go to Tuna all the time, I never even knew about this case, thank you!
I’m confused I thought she said that that saloon was closed
Lois Mccray it didn’t close because of this case though. I’ve been there a few years ago!
The Metalhead she’s probably talking about ugly tuna 2.
aww you look so pretty in this!!! ❤️ did you get your hair done?
or another theory he stumbled out the side door an while walking in the construction sight an came across a few drunk guy up to no good an was killed so they could keep doing what ever they were doing an they dropped his body into a cement pitan pushed him down into it an then smoothed it over an now his body is forever part of the building that stands their now
i just found your channel, i love the way you present the information ❤❤❤
This case is so strange to me.. I live here and I’ve been to the Ugly Tuna on OSU campus.. it just doesn’t make sense how he disappeared.. someone knows something
Oh. My. God. Girl. Your hair is absolutely stunning! I love how well balanced you are. You're eating well, you have great relationships, you love what you do, you're successful, you can sing! You're beautiful, funny, smart, kind, and just an all over perfect image of my goals! I so hope I get to someday see you at a meet and greet! I love your content and everything you stand for as a person. Keep doing you Sav!
Who else is obsessed with this series ? So sad but this stuff has to be addressed!
This case is crazy to say the least. Vanished into thin air. So sad. Good job on this video!
I’m so glad I found your channel... I appreciate your passion for true crime.
I think he’s dead. It would be almost impossible to disappear without a Trace like that and I don’t think he would have done that to his family at such a delicate time. I want this solved in my life time.
This is so crazy, the fact that this happened where I live and I had no idea..
Love your videos and podcast!! I honestly always watch and hear both
I can’t imagine leaving my drunk friend behind not knowing for sure where they are.
So he is on camera walking in at 115 and again walking in at 155, so is there no video of him walking out between 115-155? It’s really weird that he would have had to exit the property TWICE but was only seen walking in? Weird.
i always loved true crime videos but sometimes found them scaring but the way she tells them is so good i love sav
absolutely love you: you're such a great story-telller. i just texted my sister (who goes to osu; i am a cleveland native) and asked if she has ever been to the ugly tuna.
Girl I love your videos and all of the stuff you do your really amazing
My dad always told me growing up whoever I go with to make sure we all leave together! There are times my homegirls meet guys at the bar and wanna leave with them and I don’t let them and tell that guy if he wants to pick her up another day he can! All my friends knew if we went out together we all going home together! I never can wrap my head around this! 😭🥺
Please continue to make these videos! I see you going really far. Your one of my favs. ❤️
This really hit home. I live in Columbus. And i have went to the Ugly Tuna several times and bar hopped in that area. Really makes me think twice about nights out
Well, whatever the outcome, I really hope you will update us on this Savannah B. You really did a great job on this. I'm going to listen to another one now. Let us know if you find out anything please.
This case is so upsetting and frustrating!
This case drives me crazy - i desperately want to see all of the videos from that building/bar that night myself. I feel like they had to have missed something important. He left that bar, either by walking out (a glitch, or they missed him, etc) or in a container of some sort. The back door theory is possible too, but there should be footage of him inside that bar showing if he went that way surely, right??
I don't really watch RUclips videos but I look forward to watching just yours!!! Love all you're videos 💗
This case made me cry
Odalys Garcia you are one of very few that have mentioned the case. Thank you. Beauty fades. Shocked at the frivolous remarks when a man is missing and more likely passed.
i LOVE ur videos, but is there any chance you can do some more solves cases?
I’m confused...did they have search parties looking for him in water? Or just his dad looking?
I think just his dad and his brother looked
a psychic claimed that his body was in water
I'm confused on which case it was,, I thought it was this one. A young man went missing near a construction site, and later cadaver dogs picked up the scent, also the missing man's scent, but nothing was found. I thought it was Brian. Very perplexing case with a lot of possibilities in a small area technically.
Kasatka naw, that’s the kid who was out with friends and left all his cards n stuff at the bar .. went to get pizza but didn’t have his card so he kept walking.. walked thru some really bad neighbor hood and that was it.. they believe some thugs got him and buried him on a construction site and a lady walking her dog noticed how the dog kept wanting to take her over there and it stunk real bad.. nothing ever came of it but yet they never dug anything up either
@@isabella-lp3nw that's right! Thank you. I can't believe I got that confused with this case! 🤦♀️
Kasatka no worries... I can understand the confusion, there’s some similarities
I feel its his friends who killed him an covering it up.
I love when you upload true crime videos! you're a real one💕
Hi Sav just want to say enjoyed the Podcast and you looked Amazing and that hair wow girl wow 💖
Wow poor Derick that’s a lot . I have no idea what happened this one got me I think he may have started over
The myspace thing doesn’t mean anything. I went to dental school and the pressure sometimes gets you to talk like that and post things like that I’ve posted countless times how many things i’d rather be doing and it’s just out of frustration and exhaustion but never meant any of it literally. Idk it doesn’t make sense to me.
The thing that gets to me the most in this case is that the phone rang 6 months after. If you hurt someone and got away with it why keep their phone and try using it.
I was so wrapped up in this case when I saw it on tv many years ago. I ended up contacting Brian's dad and speaking to him about the case. Also, Alexis had a diary of sorts and kept track of how she felt each day. I think that he left out of the service entrance and was walking home. I think he fell into the river and drowned or he met foul play. I do not believe that he planned to escape because he loved Alexis and his family. 😭
I agree. I think it was just a bad coincidence.
Was he getting engaged? Or was that just wishful thinking. His dad said he looked tired out. If he had drank lots and was tired, maybe done drugs. Maybe after talking to the two women, did they say what he was talking about? Was he depressed or anything. He could have left the pub and like most men, go for a pee and fall in the river.
She never found out if he was actually proposing. A body should have been recovered by now. I think that he had an accident or it was foul play.
@@tanyafletcher7567 Yes there was no report of him buying a ring so proposal was just speculation. As for the river a detective said flat out he would’ve been found by now. He likely left with someone through service exit. Got in a car and met with foul play.
Can you please add music to the background of some fort? It’s very staticky. Btw your hair looks amazing
One of my favorite true-crime youtubers, I love the way you tell the stories you research. Also, your hair looks absolutely beautiful!! 😍
I believe he went back to the bar .. He was being attacked and when everyone left , the surveillance camera was being turn off by somebody . It can be somebody work inside the bar . Hide him somewhere and murder him ( the reasons was not known )
Because there are security officer standing in the scene where camera filmed , if he had wanted to enter the emergency exit , they would have stop him .
And the way he appear when he want up to bar was pretty normal , if he intend to go missing , he would might as well go down the escalator . Why would he take the trouble by going to the emergency exit when he appear sober and even have conversations with the two woman .
I believe he was murdered .
A thought on the last theory about the dismemberment, did security footage show any employees carrying out large bags of some sort? Or maybe they threw his body in the dumpster to be taken away. Either way I feel like the bar has way more to do with this than just being his last known location. I hope that his family can get closure one day:(
Its hard to imagine one family having so much tragedy in such a short time. Brian intentionally disappearing I feel is the least likely of all possible situations. That would take time, planning, money, etc, and I agree that he wouldn't disappear on a drunken night where he was already exhausted from him schooling. Its important that people realize that he had told his dad that he would be there for him and see him through the hardship of them having just loss the wife/mom (another reason him disappearing does not add up). Initially I thought that because of his passion for music, he would have made small talk with the band at closing time and maybe something happened with a band member; but that back door security camera never showed Brian leaving that way. So I suppose the only 2 theories I give weight to is either that he was hurt/injured/killed inside the bar, and his body was concealed, and then removed from the bar at a later time to avoid detection (trash bin, etc) or, that for whatever reason he went through that side door, was hurt or injured in the construction site. Its hard to get the full picture of him having died or being injured in the construction site area being we dont have any visuals of how complicated, or hazardous that area would have been. As for Clint lawyering up, I think this is just something that alot of people do for self protection for the fear that will take blame from public opinion. I dont see it as a form of guilt. Even if we entertain the idea that Clint would have been involved, that would be super risky for him to pull something off with Meredith there the entire time. As for the smiley face killer theory, I dont even know if I fully believe that is a real thing, though alot of young men do get intoxicated and for whatever reason end up in body's of water, I just dont know if I have seen enough evidence that leads me to believe that such a killer does exist. I feel that whatever happened to Brian, is one of those very odd, 1 percent chance of it happening to someone scenerios, If I had to really go with just one theory, I guess it's most likely the construction site theory would hold the most probability, but I do agree, it makes no sense as to why he would go through that side door; clearly he was aware of the entrance and exit being the same door. My deepest condolences to his brother, how had to endure the loss of his entire family in such a short amount of time.
The theory that he got into a bar fight and was unalived then taken apart is so stupid. I'm sorry but you're telling me this man got into a bar fight, so bad that the other person wanted to do away with him, and no one at all heard or saw said fight? Not even the cameras?
And let's just say that somehow happened. So then what? The person unalived Brian and took him apart, all in the matter of a couple hours? Without anyone seeing it happen or even hearing it? And it was done just without any traces of DNA evidence or any evidence of struggle? I'm sorry but that's just not realistic.
I think it's more realistic that he just left. I don't think he was happy at all. I think he was only in Columbus for his mom.
It seems he was only pursuing medicine to please his mom. His mom was also pushing for him to get married, she gave him the name and number of a jeweler but he never called. Brian's mom was the one who purchased the vacation for him and Alexis as a gift, too.
He proposed running away to Alexis before he disappeared. Brian also did tell Alexis to find someone else - as he was too depressed.
It's also been reported that he could've been questioning his sexuality and had been in at least one gay relationship. When asked about intimacy issues, Alexis didn't seem to want to answer but did say that she had always questioned if he truly loved her.
It also seems that at dinner Brian and his dad had a disagreement over Brian's mothers life insurance policy. She wanted it divided evenly between Brian, his brother and the father but the father wanted to give the boys a small amount and take the rest. That was the reason for the dinner - to discuss this matter.
In early March, his parents gave him a pretty big check for his tuition. $4,500, I believe and it was never paid or given to The Ohio State University. It was never cashed and never found.
Brian and his brother were also never close but Brian did invite his brother to go out with him the night he disappeared. His brother had plans though and couldn't make it.
Alexis called his phone every single day for 6 months, hoping some day he would answer. She said it always would go straight to voice-mail, but one day when she called it rang 3 times. When she called again it was back to going to voice mail. Now, his phone company had come out saying that there was a glitch in the system that day. That the phone ringing 3 times isn't reliable as it was likely part of the glitch as it used to happen semi regularly.
It really sounds like there wasn't too much keeping Brian here in Columbus. It sounds like he wanted out. Maybe to start fresh, i know many of us Ohioans can relate.
I think that if his friend was involved in any way, it was to help him disappear. I think Brian could've hid a change of clothes in the bar, went to the bathroom, changed out of what he was last seen in and walked out without being noticed.
As for the theory that he's never left the bar, the real construction for it was done before he went missing so he couldn't possibly be "part of" the construction.
For all these reasons added up, I think he just left and started over.
He had a conversation with the band according to a couple of other channels I've watched.
Wait... so if there was a band then they had to leave through the front door and probably take their equipment with them at some point? So they could remove a dead (or alive) body couldn’t they?
I LOVE YOUR HAIR! I am so jealous, you always have such pretty hair. I want to do the same thing but I AM TOO SCARED TO EVER DO SO.
-P.s I LOVE you, I have been watching you since you started
It reminds me of an Irish guy called Trevor Deeley, who vanished into thin air in Dublin during 2000, another mystery of all mysteries! Shaffer is a real odd one though !!!!
Yes I was going to say that. Poor Trevor.
I was thinking the same, very sad for all involved.

You NEVER leave a friend at a party, bar, club! Ever!
off topic but your hair is gorgeous 🥺❤️ edit: OMG SHE LIKEd
It's a solved case but you should look into the murders of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom from Knoxville, TN.
@NostalgiaMan A lot of true crime channels like covering solved cases, too.
It’s solved? Where did you hear that?
@@davem3031 Seeing as how five people were convicted of the murders, I'd say it's pretty much solved.
@@LindyNicholson No disrespect but Brian’s case is not solved and nobody has been arrested on this case.
@@davem3031 I think you misread my initial comment. I was recommending that she cover a different case, and that one has been solved.
Love your videos I'm a new subscriber and I've been binging on All of your videos ❤️
I'm from Columbus and this is the case that keeps me awake at night wondering what happened. Ultimately I think he was killed outside the bar by someone.
You always do a great job with these case's , you are very much appreciated I want you to know that .
i for some reason really like listening to these. keep it up plzzz!❤️
Savannah, can I just say, your hair looks AMAZING😍
Omg I loveeee your hair it’s looks soooo good on you !
Can you talk about the Gabriel Fernandez case? I know it’s not a missing persons case but I would still like to learn more about what happened
I had no idea this case existed!! I know of the area too! but these are my fav videos ever. you’re stunning& I love your new hair 😇
Is there any information on the events of who they spoke to, what did they drink did they pay cash anything in regards to the activities in the bar? I havent seen much on that If anything. Also there are reports that when Clint went to the apartment he stayed for 5-6 hours? Is that confirmed anywhere?
I love your video's! Your amazing at everything you do! We have a case here in Taos, NM concerning a lady named Holly White that would be an interesting case for you to do!
The video's are sad but interesting. Your the best Savannah keep up the good work❤
You are so underrated you put so much effort into ur videos😘
I've worked in this building where Ugly tuna is located. Now the door takes you to an alley that is secured. Only thing that would be being built behind it was the parking garage which isnt that big. I wish we could see pics of the construction. Also this building today has other bars, restaurants and a movie theater. I wanna say back then they were all still there. I graduated high school that year so I didnt spend time on the campus which is for Ohio State University.
Just wanted you to know you are my favorite youtuber love the work you do for us Thankyou xxx ooo
Well have two theories.
1st: Clint is involved in Brian’s disappearance & this is why he doesn’t want to take polygraph.
And OR
2nd: Maybe Brian wanted to start a new life, he told Clint & they both made this plan of coming to this bar & disappear.
🤔 Is there other videos showing Brian, Clint first arriving to the bar around 9pm & another video showing them leaving!
We only see footage of when supposedly Brian, Clint came back the second time but now with the girl @1:15am, but what if this video is the actual 1st time they all arrived to this bar 🤔 and @ 1:55am Brian intentionally came out from the inside to be seen on cámara, then Brian went back inside changed to different cloths & walked down the escalator. This is why Clint doesn’t want to take the polygraph
you’re so pretty && smart ! i love how detailed you are with the cases !
girl amazing video aside, you're hair looks so bomb!! love it
Love your videos!♥️
