As a meticulous crime investigator, it is crucial to analyze every detail in cases like this where the victim disappears without a trace. In the case of 27-year-old Brian Schaefer, who vanished in Columbus, Ohio in 2006, the last known location of him was at the Ugly Tuna bar with his friends Clint and Meredith. The security footage shows Brian entering the bar, then leaving with two unidentified women, only to return inside and never exit again. This disappearance raises numerous questions and theories, from accidental death to foul play to intentional disappearance.
Despite extensive searches, including the use of scent dogs and river searches, Brian’s whereabouts remain unknown after 17 years. His girlfriend, Alexis, has never given up hope and diligently called his phone daily, even hanging missing person posters. The lack of activity on Brian’s bank accounts, credit cards, and cell phone points to a mystery that has yet to be solved.
With suspicions falling on Brian’s friend and roommate Clint, who refused to take a lie detector test and was reportedly speaking ill of Brian after his disappearance, the case takes a chilling turn. The smiley face killers theory, which links Brian’s disappearance to a string of similar cases in Ohio, adds another layer of complexity to this already baffling investigation.
As we continue to unravel the details of Brian’s disappearance, it is clear that someone out there holds the key to solving this mystery. In cases like this, where time passes and leads grow cold, it is essential to keep the case in the public eye to generate new tips and potentially bring closure to Brian’s family and loved ones. The search for answers continues in the hope that one day, the truth behind Brian Schaefer’s disappearance will come to light.

What is the truth behind what happened to 27 year old Brian Shaffer?
@_kikizaman_
I have such extremely debilitating social anxiety that I’m housebound and I only leave my house a couple times a month. All my friendships have fizzled out because I’m even too anxious around my best friends. I would absolutely deny that test. I’d be SO anxious to even be firstly, just in public- but also in that situation and most of all, I’d be anxious that I’d fail BECAUSE of my high rates of anxiety (because all it measures is blood pressure, heat rate, the amount you sweat), which would then just cause my anxiety to get even WORSE which would then make my anxiety about failing the test even worse- and so on. It’d be a viscous mental cycle, and not even a mental cycle. I’d probably fail it. And then I’d be acting all suspicious in the interview by fidgeting and messing up my “story” even though it’s the truth just because of how bad my goddamn social anxiety is- yeah I don’t care if denying to do the lie detector test ruins my reputation, taking the lie detector test could ruin my goddamn life.

0:40 To defend Clint, not that he needs it, but the fact that he refused to take a polygraph should NOT automatically be a sign of guilt. If he was talking crap about Brian, (allegedly), that cannot be defended.
Polygraph tests are not reliable. They can not be admissible to court. Moreover, place yourself in Clint's position . If you were being accused of a crime for which you are innocent, what would happen if you ' failed ' the test would only come back to haunt you…

8:18 this is suspicious. Alexis might be lying..why didn't she tell Brian's parents that she was at the apartment and he wasn't there?
@EternaResplandiente
Brian was hot
@margebunn6039
Her husband looks like a bald Brian Shaffer
@LoveandButter
For HE and his mom? For he? Nope, for him. For his mom and him.
@kamkam2852
This case drives me crazy! What happened???? I hope it's solved one day
@gordoharp420
So there was a construction site next to the bar ? What was built ? Could he be under whatever was built .
@sunshinexoxox
Maybe clint didnt want to incriminate himself. Everyone already thought he did it, if he took a lie detector test theyd ask him super uncomfortable questions trying to put the blame on him. I dont know that id want to take one either. I dont trust that kind of technology not to be used against me.
@sunshinexoxox
The world is a scary place… you never know what is going to happen. To you or the onee you care about…be careful who you trust….
@sunshinexoxox
Obviously he went out the back/freight elevator.
@bluemoon2675
The most likely explanation is that brian left the saloon to continue partying with others. Dogs traced his scent to the street then nothing. He got into a car at that point. He overdosed or someone killed him, body disposed of. It's really the only thing that makes sense. Brian didn't need to " run away" he could have left at any time. Who or what would stop him, no need for secrecy. Why get drunk? That's just stupid.
@user-gr6ku3xf5b
why not mention the elevator?
@teresaslo
My gut feeling is that that was him in Mexico despite what the FBI says
@googleuser2226
At a job my brother had a lot of money turned up missing. All employees took a polygraph and only one person failed. The owner of the company knew the man who failed would never take money. After investigating they found out who did take the money, and that person passed the polygraph. They are worthless.
@googleuser2226
Never agree to a polygraph, and never accuse someone based on their refusal to take a polygraph. Polygraphs are completely useless.
@alleygracesmith
This one has me stumped…. I saw something about Brian’s case being a really complicated case so I decided to look it up & came across this video. After reading the comments, I’m wondering about the freight elevators or where they took their trash out? Those are the only two ways he could have made it out if he wasn’t caught on camera & that exit by that camera was the only way, or he somehow ended up out in the construction site & was just missed. Also think everything needs to be moved out of the bar to be searched. Too many cases of mummified bodies in small spaces….
@Recubs0608
That's awful. 17 years and more without closure.
@G274Me
This case was just garbage detective work. Wasn’t investigated as well as it should.
@awakenthewoke1091
Feel like the friend/roommate was in love with Brian's girlfriend. Seeing him talk to other women and knowing he may be proposing on his upcoming trip was enough to make the friend lose it and do something stupid to him.
@anilliteratejanitor
Most of your information was wrong, thumbs down.
@malcriadamedina5358
Bet if the police lets us see the footage that we find Brian leaving
@siti1ca
clint couldnt have killed him, as clint was in the bar with other people
