🎃 Spooky Season Movie Night #2: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

🍺 Garage Grade: 4.4 bottle caps out of 5.

On September 29, Ryan Ward was fatally shot in Columbus’s Hilltop neighborhood. His former roommate, 22-year-old David Estrada, is charged with murder after police say a pursuit ended in a crash on U.S. 33.

Estrada’s bond was set at $5 million. A motive has not been publicly reported.

In the early hours of April 1, 2006, Ohio State medical student Brian Shaffer disappeared after a night out with friends in Columbus, Ohio. One friend refused to take a polygraph test.

Just before 2 a.m., surveillance footage captured Brian near the entrance of the Ugly Tuna Saloona, talking with two women. His friends later assumed he had gone home. But Brian never returned—and no confirmed footage has established how he left the bar.

Twenty years later, the questions remain: Where did Brian go? What happened after that final recorded moment? And could someone hold a piece of information that finally brings answers to his family?

Brian is more than a mystery. He is a son, a brother, and a friend whose loved ones deserve answers.

CALEB FLYNN TRIAL UPDATE /// Both sides have rested in the trial over Ashley Flynn’s murder. The defense called no witnesses, and Flynn did not testify.

Prosecutors point to his messages and digital activity. The defense argues that his affair does not prove murder. The weapon has not been found. Closing arguments are expected today. No verdict yet.

Police searching the Philadelphia home connected to Raymond “R.C.” Horsch say they recovered roughly 600,000 images, 70,000 videos, and 10,000 pages of writings and drawings.

Investigators now face a difficult question: Which scenes were staged for Raymond’s films, and which, if any, show real crimes? The investigation is ongoing.
