[Sgt. John] Hurst was disappointed, but not surprised. Nothing about this case surprises him anymore. Brian Shaffer is not the first person who has disappeared without leaving any hint of his whereabouts behind, but, in many ways, he is the most frustrating. Even with a reward of $25,000and even when that reward spiked to $100,000there were no answers. No one came forward to say what they know. That doesnt mean that person doesnt exist. Hurst, for all he cant say about the case, can say this for sure: Someone out there knows something.
