How did Brian Shaffer a 27 year-old man at the time just simply disappear?  It's a question Columbus Police detectives and thousands from central Ohio have been asking for more than 18 years.  Brian Shaffer, was a medical student at The Ohio State University.  As legend has it; he walked into a campus bar and was never seen walking out.  Brian vanished after going out with friends on the evening of March 31st, 2006 to celebrate the beginning of spring break.  According to friends during the early morning hours of April 1st, Brian was separated from them, and they assumed he had gone home. Shaffer has not been seen or heard from since.  Columbus police have several theories about what happened; some suspicion has been directed at a friend.  While foul play is suspected, it has also been speculated that Brian might be living somewhere under a new identity.  Today we bring to you an interview with Columbus Police Sergent John Hurst who was the lead investigator in the Shaffer case.  Conducting the interview is the Captain and investigative journalist Maggie Freleng.
