60. The Disappearance of Brian Shaffer

March 31, 2006, after a grueling week of medical school exams, Brian Shaffer decided to go out for the evening with a friend and let off some steam. Still processing the loss of his mom and contemplating proposing to his girlfriend, he had a lot on his plate. But as the night should have been wrapping up for bar patrons, all of a sudden, no one could locate Brian.
