On the first day of spring break 2006, Brian Shaffer and his friends celebrate the end of the first half of the semester on a bar crawl out in Columbus, Ohio. Security camera video captures the friends' every move that night, until Brian is suddenly lost and is never seen again.

But the story of Brian's disappearance begins much earlier than this night out on the town. And it could hold the clues into what happened on Brian's long night out.

If you know anything about the disappearance of Brian Shaffer, call the Columbus Police Department at 614-645-4545 or your local FBI office.

This week, we're drinking Z. Alexander Brown's Pinot Noir.

Mary Alston and Beverly Roberts truly thought that they were doing the right thing. They spent their retirement off of a main road near Wetumpka, Alabama's city courthouse practicing TNR, or trap, neuter, release.

It's a practice that is nationally-recognized as the cure for an area's cat problems. But the city's cat ladies had developed a reputation around town as a couple of troublemakers. And this time, they had stirred up trouble one too many times.

This week, we're drinking Francis Cappola's Pinot Grigio.
