The Disappearance of Brian Shaffer An Anthology of True Crime - E-book - ePub

Brian Shaffer called his girlfriend Alexis and expressed how much he missed her and loved her. He told her that he was looking forward to spending the next week with her in Miami. As the call wrapped up, he told her that he was planning on bar hopping with his friend Clint. She asked him to call her the next day, and he readily agreed. After hanging up, he and Clint walked out of a bar called The Ugly Tuna.
They made their way down the street, entering a few bars along the way. They would walk into a bar, take a shot or two, and then walk back out to find the next bar. They continued their pub crawl for a while, slowly making their way towards the Arena District. When they got into a bar called The Short North, Clint and Brian ran into Clint's friend, Meredith Reed. It was almost midnight, and the two men asked Reed if she would give them a ride back to The Ugly Tuna.
She agreed, and even stated that she would go in with them into the bar for a drink. The three were captured by CCTV riding the escalator to The Ugly Tuna Saloon at 1:15 a.m. on April 1, 2006. They went into the bar, and at 1:55 a.m. the surveillance cameras caught Brian talking to two women at the top of the escalators. After the women left, Brian turned around and walked back into the bar. The three then discussed heading home.
That was the last time they saw Brian.
