I have actually known this for a while. The bar he opened in Hilliard didn’t open until several years after Brian’s disappearance. The bar owner did live in the Hilliard area too.Whoa. In Hilliard? Seriously? Bombshell @Looking4Brian
From what I have been told from retired Sergeant John Hurst, the bar was checked from top to bottom. Any loose piles of dirt were moved and searched. There were several exits in the building. There was the escalator exit outside the bar and the fire escape exit in the bar. Under the camera where Brian was standing was the entrance to the construction area and the access to get downstairs. Down stairs there was the trash exit, the exit the band used, the back kitchen door to MadMex, and a couple of other makeshift doors covering the construction.I have wondered about this case for YEARS.. and I know a lot of other people have too. It’s just mind boggling. I have frequented ugly tuna a LOT during my college years .. I loved that place. I’m sad that the whole area is different now.
When it comes to Brian running away from his life, I just can’t seem to believe that. He would have to be pure genius to not be seen on ANY cameras and not have any evidence of him being alive still. I mean I’d probably go on my vacation I had planned first... regardless of his gf wanting a proposal. I know there were a lot of factors that could point to him wanting to leave his life, but he did still have a brother whom he was closer with in the months before his disappearance.
A lot of me thinks that something happened in the construction site.. and someone covered it up bc of lawsuits. I wouldn’t put it past osu / the bar owners. Speaking of the bar owner... I looked into where he lived and it just so happens he lived near where Brian’s phone pinged when Alexis called months later.
Does anyone know what kind of searches were done in the construction site? I know it has been remodeled since then as well. Also I read there was a kitchen exit for workers.. and I’ve read a construction exit, are they the same one?

We know that Brian didn't leave in a group that included the band—he was still talking to the girls when the band left—but he may have tried to follow the band.True Crime Garage podcast has multiple episodes on this case and they are very familiar with the area/bar. They strongly believe he left and have stated there were multiple exits w/o cctv. Namely, the exit the band used which had a witness that night stating that a large group of people left through that door that included band/patrons/employees/etc.

It's possible that he made it out of the building, but not a single credible witness can place Brian anywhere outside the building after his disappearance. When you add in the fact that Brian's phone started going to voicemail almost immediately, it becomes probable that Brian stumbled into the construction area and met his demise there.
2:00 AM is "closing time". Closing time is the time at which they stop letting people into the bar and the time at which you can buy your last drink (also known as last call).But where was his body? The detective said the area dug up was 4 ft deep and 6x6.
I find it hard to believe the officers would let him go through that door.. and I’m surprised ugly tuna would let him back in at 1:55 since they were closing
My understanding is that access to that door was not restricted. I think the cops were there to keep an eye out for drunken brawls, etc. I don't think were tasked with preventing access to that door. That door did not lead directly to the construction area. It led to a hallway that included an elevator shaft and a stairway. (I believe there was some kind of office back there, too—something to do with OSU—but I've forgotten the details.) The stairway could have been taken down to the lower level, and the construction site would have been accessed from there.But where was his body? The detective said the area dug up was 4 ft deep and 6x6.

That's a new one by me. Every bar I've ever been to has the clock set ten minutes fast so they can't get busted for accidentally serving past the statutory last call time.Another thing, many bars have an "official" clock they use to determine closing time. I've noticed these clocks can be 10-15 slow so they can be open a few minutes later. I have no idea if this place did that or not.

We have confirmed last call at UTS that night was around 2:00 A.M. The bar closed at 2:30.BBM above...
Last call (for alcohol) is before 2am, IT'S OVER at 2am...Just saying
The detective characterized the construction area as having been 'completely dug up' and difficult to navigate even sober. When asked in a subsequent interview in particular about the state of the elevator shaft he noted that at the time of the disappearance the base had been dug, the 4x6x6 hole that you ref.But where was his body? The detective said the area dug up was 4 ft deep and 6x6.
