Mr. Shaffer and family,I am sorry for the loss of your wife and mom. Now another tragedy. From looking at the pictures I get the feeling you are a strong and loving family. I'll be praying for you. I worked for OSU for a few years and a piece of my heart is still with the "osu family", now with your family. Keep strong and keep praying.....

God bess you and give you strength to keep up your search for Brian. Your story touched my heart and I will include you and your entire family in my prayers.I cannot imagine what this must be like for all of you. I'm hoping that the death of his mother affected him deeply and he just went off to grieve somewhere and when he is ready, he will come home. Sometimes people face death in odd ways. Please know that there are many people out here that are praying for all of you.

To Brian's family and friends: God bless you all as you get through this horrible ordeal. I saw Alexis and Randy on "On the Record" last night and was terribly saddened by Brian's disappearance. It is obvious from this website that Brian is a truly wonderful person who needs to return to his loving family. I pray that he is found safe. My condolences on the loss of Mrs. Shaffer, who also sounds as though she was a wonderful woman.

I heard about your story from one of my Dad's magazine-he went to OSU school of medicine class of '72. I will pray for you and hope for the best.

Alexis - I used to work with you at Andersons and I heard about Brian on the news and I just wanted you to know that I am praying for him and for you and his family. I hope he comes home to you soon!

Dear Mr. Shaffer, We have similar stories. My nephew/Godson dissapeared the morning of April 1, 2006 as well. Unfortunately, we found his body in his car in a lake 2 1/2 weeks later. I know what you are going through. Not knowing is horrific. I pray you find Brian soon. Ironically, my sister and her husband also appeared on Gretta's show on Fox a week or so before we found Wade. God Bless you, your family and Brian's girlfriend. I pray you find Brian alive and well. Sincerely, Jim G. Wilder St. Charles, MO
