Age-progression image released for Columbus man who has been missing since 2006

Columbus, OH – The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Columbus Division of Police released an age-progression image of Brian Shaffer Monday.

Shaffer was last seen on April 1, 2006 at approximately 2:00AM at a bar near the Ohio State University Campus in the vicinity of North High Street in Columbus. Shaffer was 27 years old when he went missing.

Shaffer would now be 42. BCI’s forensic criminal artist constructed an age-progressed image of what he may look like now. Investigators hope that the new image may prompt the public to submit tips to law enforcement.

“We would like to thank BCI and their forensic artists who worked tirelessly on the age-progression image of Brian Shaffer,” Interim Columbus Police Chief Michael Woods said. “We would like to find every person from our missing persons cases and believe this is another step in hopes that we can find Mr. Shaffer.”

Shaffer is 6’2″, is white, and has hazel eyes. He also has a tattoo of the Pearl Jam symbol on his upper right arm. He was last seen wearing jeans, a blue or green striped shirt and tennis shoes.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Columbus Division of Police at 614-645-2358.
