Summary:
Brian was last seen at approximately 2:00 a.m. at a bar near the OSU Campus in the vicinity of the 1500 block of N. High St. in Columbus, OH. The last images of Brian show him outside the Ugly Tuna Saloona, a bar near the OSU campus with his best friend Clint Florence- along with another friend of Clints (Meredith Reed) after finishing midterms for the semester. Meredith had given Brian and Clint a ride back to the Ugly Tuna Saloona and joins them for a final round of drinks.
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance:
Clint and Meredith exit the bar with the rest of the crowd and wait outside for Brian to exit. Brian is not seen on CCTV footage leaving the bar, and no one who had been at the bar that night reported seeing Brian exit the bar. There were only two entry/exit points at the bar, the front, main entrance, and a back, service door, which is only used for bar employees. After waiting, the two assume that Brian had walked home. Brian was scheduled to be leaving for vacation with his girlfriend to Miami for spring break on April 3, however, Brian never made it to the airport.
Additional Details:
After the investigation into his disappearance had begun, footage from the Ugly Tuna Saloona was recovered by police which showed Brian on an escalator going to the bar's main entrance at 1:15 am, and again at 1:55 am outside of the bar before moving back towards the entrance to the bar, off-camera. Brian was never seen on camera leaving the bar after that. Anyone with additional information or questions regarding this case should contact Columbus Police Department at (614) 645-4545.
