MYSTERY: The Ugly Tuna Mystery

In 2006, a 27-year-old Ohio State medical student named Brian Shaffer walked into a crowded Columbus bar to celebrate the end of finals with friends and vanished without a trace. Surveillance cameras captured him entering the Ugly Tuna Saloona but never showed him leaving. His mother had died of cancer just weeks earlier, he had a vacation flight booked for Monday, and in the days before he disappeared, he had swung between asking his girlfriend to elope and telling her to move on without him. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the baffling disappearance of Brian Shaffer, the suspicious friend who lawyered up, and the phone that rang again five months later from somewhere no one expected.
