A Brian Shaffer Story Edo Larosa

' A Medical student enters a bar and vanishes forever'
 
Columbus, OH.:  A seemingly regular night out between friends on the 31:th of march 2006 turns into a bewildering, almost incomprehensible disappearance. And it's hard to lay your mind at rest after you've found out about it.
This episode is an introduction to Brian Shaffer's case.  If you've never heard of his disappearance prior or you'd like to refresh your memory I've created this episode just for that.

"A Narrative"
2024.04.09 - This Episode is available in an AI Format. Currently the last ep.
 
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.

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.

“A previously unheard baffling disappearance might yield a plausible answer”
In A Brian Shaffer Story part 5, the series continues with more focus on one of theories of what could have happened to Brian that night. Giulia Montanari joins in to discuss the case of Primo Zanoli.  
Mr. Zanoli, a patient, vanished within a crowded hospital in Modena, Italy, while recovering from a surgery. Despite searching for him in all possible manners authorities failed to locate him and later proclaimed Mr. Zanoli had ran away from the hospital out into the wilderness. But family members didn’t buy the explanation.
