0:00.0	And Hey, what is up everybody? And welcome back to Milehart Podcast, episode 305. Now today we are going to be looking at a case that many of you have
0:27.8	requested. I've been seeing I don't know if there's a spike in interest in it
0:32.0	right now but I saw comments requesting it on my show
0:35.1	just yesterday when I was looking and I'm really surprised that I've never heard of this one
0:40.4	until we started looking into it. I feel like it's probably crossed our desk a few times over the years because it's not a
0:48.7	recent case by any means. 2006. My God is probably one of the most baffling missing persons cases.
0:56.4	It really is.
0:57.4	We've ever covered.
0:58.8	Yeah, we're going to be talking about Brian Schaefer who really just vanished. I mean it's it's there's not a whole lot to go off here.

1:38.9	There's just kind of theories as to what happened to him him and is he still out there as one of those where he could be yeah yeah he very well could be I think I kind of lean towards that way a little bit I don't know we'll get into all of that but I think that's the reason why there is so much online speculation
1:56.9	theories because there isn't a lot to work with there's not a lot confirmed and
2:02.3	there is a lot of misinformation out there as well.
2:05.0	So I think that just leaves people trying to put together whatever they can to make sense of this
2:10.4	because it's just extremely confusing how this happened.
2:15.0	But you wanted to mention something briefly before we kind of jumped in today.
2:20.0	I did. Did I?
2:21.0	Yeah.
