When a person—child or adult—disappears, family and friends are often left with nothing but unanswered questions and unhealed wounds. They replay moments again and again, spend hours gazing out the front window, leave lights on, pray. It’s a torment that likely won’t cease until they find the person they so miss, or, in many cases, not even then.
On an ordinary Friday night near Ohio State’s campus, students swarmed High Street, the pulsing artery of university nightlife aglow with street lamps and neon signs. They filled rows of bars and restaurants, shaking off any last remnants of winter’s hibernation. It was March 31, 2006, spring break was right around the corner and the weather was beginning to warm. Too cool for shorts, but balmy enough that long sleeves could stand in for a jacket.

When Missing Persons Cases Go Cold
By Michelle Sullivan
From the September 2014 edition
Ms. Sullivan highlights Brian's case in a very well written article published online and this month's print edition of Columbus Monthly.
It really makes no sense. I've been to the Gateway area so many times. I've hung out in Ugly Tuna. Brian's case has always stuck with me, because it's so odd. Lots of people go missing; far fewer disappear from somewhere like Ugly Tuna without being seen on security cameras.
That has always made me think of someone who knew exactly where the cameras are. Now, I don't know if this was the case when he went missing, but we recently subpoenaed the security footage for Gateway, and the cameras are very good, and manually operated. They cover so much ground, and can really zoom in. The cameras usually complete and sweep through the area, but the operator does have the ability to stop and focus on things going on. The interesting thing about it however, was that the operator could be zooming in on something that caught his/her attention, and totally miss something happening in another part of the zone they are sweeping. I'm guessing the technology wasn't as good when he went missing, but if this was the case then, it is possible that Brian left by the front door, and was simply missed by the outdoor cameras if they were distracted by something else. At least, if there were blind spots indoors at the main entrance/exit that he could also pass by unseen.
I worked in Col-OH for about a year, and remember hearing about this case after I left. I pray that the friends and family of Brian find answers, its been too long. Im of the belief that most of the time the most straight-forward reasons are why people go missing. In this case, the most reasonable thought is Brain had too much to drink, slipped passed cameras (cameras never work 100% of the time, or was innocently masked by others, etc), headed home and most likely fell into a body of water. That said, the reluctance of his friend stood out from the beginning. After a bit of research, heres my wilder hypothesis:
1. BS and CF were friends, but started to have tensions over money or illegal activities
2. CF started developing synthetic drugs that were sold/funnel/serviced out of some of these bars near campus
3. BS, maybe after the death of his mother, but maybe before, started assisting CF in this trade
4. At some point, BS either wanted to get out or threaten to expose CF and/or the bar owners OR, started to be more trouble than he was worth in their eyes
5. That night, BS probably was with CF and someone at the bar in an office. They couldve stayed there or went to a home form someone at the bar
6. BS either accidently ODd on this synthetic drug OR was killed during an argument over it/money
7. CF, knowing if the drugs were found on or IN BS, would implicate them all, especially him since he was most likely manufacturing them (or providing raw material)
8. In collusion, the bar ownership/partner and CF had to dispose of the BSs body (either from the home or the bar)
9. CFs work in this field, and maybe other applications of it, would be worth protecting not only by him but maybe others on staff at OSU or beyond.
10. It would explain why CF would want immunity for information, in the event it was discovered BS ODd, he wouldnt want to be held accountable (even if it was BSs fault).
11. It could explain why BSs gf didnt like him hanging around CF or maybe why roommate situation ended.
12. If one really wanted to get answers, a few things to explore:
a. I assume most med students are in debt during and many years after how are CFs finances?
b. History of phone calls between CF, BS, and anyone at the bar
c. History of deaths/ODs in or around campus where drug tox were inconclusive, strange or unknown
Footnote: portions of the above could be true as well as the most likely version I mentioned. CF couldve given BS these drugs, which caused him to go into some sort of manic state and disappear. CF, then would not want to disclose his drug couldve been responsible for his disappearance.
