A Brian Shaffer Story

"Dumpster Theory" Re-Unveiled: Detective Hurst's Controversial Take on Brian's Disappearance The newly released interview with former Detective Hurst on True Crime Garage part 770 has sparked renewed interest and speculation, stemming from his comments at the end of a previous HLN episode. In that broadcast, Hurst put forth a theory suggesting that Brian might have ended up in a dumpster and subsequently "lost." I've invested significant time and effort into examining this speculation, striving to debunk it to the best of my ability, while acknowledging the possibility that it just might still hold some truth. For those of you who missed or skipped it, here's an excerpt from that episode. This segment originally aired around the 30-minute mark in Part 11. The story will Continue. As a final note, I might plan to release a dedicated episode in the near future, focusing on Hurst's comments on TCG. Stay tuned for more insights and updates. In the meantime I suggest Part 15. The Two Squares □ ■ as a personal choice of episode to listen to, in hindsight, a relevant ulterior step in pondering choices and alternatives.   All the best//Edo.    

This episodes narrates a short fictional novel, revealing from this end a delicate response in merit for someone else's hardships.    Follow the series on Instagram instagram.com/brianshafferstory    

The first of it's kind in "A Brian Shaffer Story". The detailed description of this episode can be found under the original part and the first episode in this series. This EP is composed for the only purpose of spreading the case of Brian Shaffer further and the script is indistinguishable in wording from the original. The only difference is a female, quite elegant in my opinion, all-American style AI-voice. For all followers of the series: don't be too alarmed, I myself had actually quite a blast re-listening to my episode in this way. I'll still be around and more content will be released in the future, but I feel the need to adjust a little bit here and there right now.

In this part we head back to the disappearance local to me, the vanishing of the very popular Navy Ranger instructor whom the masses seemed to be both adored by and puzzled on to what could have happened. Even though it is considered a resolved case for some, like the Police, for others including family and friends it still very much isn't. Much has to do with new arisen questions at the scene of the finding and the state of the remains.  To really make out what's going on and get some kind of understanding this time it required an extra effort...I met and had a long conversation with Deniz Arda's best friend Henrik who led the search effort to try to find him, it became a 2 hr episode on my Swedish series. And, I tracked down and coherced Orij, the man who actually found Deniz Arda out in the wild, to meet me in person and share his story...   (I've updated the episode image with a new edited one after I noticed a peculiarity from a photo Orij handed me...)                 http://instagram.com/brianshafferstory    

A foreword to this audio release is given in Part 17. The #Story will Continue II. The audio has not been edited, the interview was conducted in 2007 over a phone line, with some clarity issues later on, but nothing major.        

Having just returned back from a special holiday I decided to release this episode consisting of a straight recap of this serie and it's progress towards our main goal, topping it off with a mention of a soon to be released audio-file.   Follow the series on Instagram instagram.com/brianshafferstory

This sixteenth part in a Brian Shaffer Story features a really popular case out there in the community, and to a degree expands the theme of Part 15. The Two Squares. Bryce Laspisa's disappearance is in fact very illustrative of how things can go wrong if one leaves the normal and enters the realm of irrationality. Due to various known interactions and the ability to track this youngster's movement it is stated the college student undertook a roadtrip to nowhere at first and then crowned the ordeal by totally vanishing...   https://charleyproject.org/case/bryce-david-laspisa

In this fourteenth part of A Brian Shaffer Story we head to an outdoor setting for the first time and experience various surrounding sounds including my rebuttal to the claim that The Captain from TCG believes in his own eyes when seing Brian go down the escalators (doubt it!) to a thinfoil hat story that holds eloquent tidbits connected to Brian's disappearance.   NB: In the final parts of the episode I happen to say ”craters” multiple times actually, I of course mean to say ”Crates” !!   Follow the series on Instagram instagram.com/brianshafferstory

This episode will cover aspects in Brian Shaffer's disappearance in a "crime context". With the help from outstanding Tanna from Sculch True Crime Studios we've tried to come up with every possible foul-play situation that could have occurred that early morning and ensuing weekend.  In a situation where a person goes missing, there's always a possibility that a criminal act committed against this person can be the underlying reason to why this person is not around any more. When The Police enters the scene to investigate, they try to get an overhaul view and look at plausible situations that could have occurred. They search, they inquire, they try to gather information that's useful so that they can make their best assessment of what actually happened. In most criminal cases, usually some form of evidence is gathered, something indicating a sinister motive is discovered, and many times non-pertinent theories can be eliminated so the real cause can be determined. We know that foul play was considered a possibility in Brian's case. Something could have happened to him in that regard for him to disappear. So the conversation/interview touches the subject  with a notion that nothing has been found. The conversation started a little bit earlier, the recording catches up when we entered the subject speculating how Brian could've left the Gateway area!   Check out Tanna's Youtube content    Age progression photo and contact information to Authorities are posted on Instagram.

A Brian Shaffer story part 2 continues with Brian and his friends visiting the Ugly Tuna Saloona bar the second time around. We get to know the band that played in the bar and what we guess likely transpired before Brian ultimately made his way out. And how "did" he manage to get out without being seen? Afterwards I recount the immediate searches undertaken by the Columbus Police Department. NB. At around 03.00 minutes into the episode I mention the possibility to go either left or right when arriving on the top of the escalators. And going left meant in this instance visiting the Gateway Cinema. At this hour however, when visiting the Gateway building, the Cinema was closed and this area was restricted and guarded by two on-duty police officers. They can be seen in their white uniform in the cctv footage captured around 01.55 am with Brian standing on the foyer.

‘ A Narrative'  Hi, I'm Edo, a guy all the way over from Sweden who's clearly lost a few screws over this missing persons case. Is this perhaps one of the most baffling disappearances out there? I certainly think so. 'A Narrative' is the start off episode about the disappearance of Brian Shaffer. The main introductory points about the case are re-conveyed and details on what got me stuck into this case are shared. In the latter part of the episode we head into the bar and the area surrounding the bar, particularly mentioning the so quoted emergency exit/fire escape. But which inaugurating episode can give this missing person case the justice it deserves? With so much wrapped up mysticism around this disappearance, nothing will suit probably. I hope you'll endure and feel as if you're tempted to go further into the series.  Whatever happened to Brian Shaffer, can almost ultimately happen to anyone of us. The fact that this baffling vanishing still is unresolved, with no answers brought forward at all, is ominous and raises a lot of questions. But also draws out energy and temptation to keep looking for answers. Is there another pair of eyes who knows what happened to Brian? Did somehow Brian's own doing cause and lead to whatever unfolded that night? Are there perhaps even more mysterious forces at play in this case trying to hide what took place? Many have of course tried to un-riddle this disappearance to find out "the true answer", not at least the Police. There might be a possibility that Brian Shaffer is out there. The former lead detective in the case, who worked his case for over 13 years is still however completely clueless on what might have happened to Brian Shaffer. But by learning a little bit more about his case, episode by episode, and by gather knowledge of subsequent events, we get a little closer on at least giving ourselves the chance of coming up with some sorts of idea of what could have happened to Brian Shaffer on that April Fool´s Day in 2006.  For those of you who are completely new to Brian's case and would like to know more in general before jumping to episode 1 "A narrative", I've released an introductory episode about his case which might be helpful to listen to prior.  Introduction to the Brian Shaffer case    Age progression photo and contact information to Authorities are posted on  Instagram. Thank you for leaving a review or givin' a heads up whereever you can and sharing this series to others. My only aim is to find out whatever happened to Brian Shaffer or at least to try to uncover the most likely explanation of what might have happened.
