On March 31, 2006, a 27-year-old medical student went out for a night in Columbus, Ohio.

He entered a bar just after 1 AM.

Security cameras captured him inside.

At closing time, dozens of people were recorded leaving.

He was not among them.

There were no signs of a disturbance.

No confirmed exit.

And no clear explanation for what happened.

His name was Brian Shaffer.

More than a decade later, his disappearance remains unresolved.
