Part 19. The Least Desirable Outcome

This episode sets the stage as the first installment in the series. You can find a comprehensive description of this episode alongside the debut episode in the series, available under the original part. The primary aim of this episode is to expand the reach of the Brian Shaffer case. The script remains faithfully consistent with the original narrative, with every word almost meticulously mirrored. The novel twist here is the introduction of an AI voiceover; a distinctly American, elegantly feminine tone that adds a fresh dimension to the storytelling. For avid followers of the series, I assure you there's no need for concern. Personally, I found it incredibly enjoyable to experience the episode anew in this unique format. Rest assured, I'm still actively involved, this is me taking some time to fine-tune a few aspects of the project. I invite you all to keep up to date with the latest on Brian Shaffer by following my updates on Instagram. Follow the series on Instagram instagram.com/brianshafferstory

In this episode, we go back to the mystery that unfolded close to home—the baffling disappearance of the widely respected Navy Ranger instructor. This individual was both cherished and enigmatic, captivating the public’s attention and sparking widespread speculation about his fate. While the police have officially closed the case, labeling it as resolved, many, particularly his friends and family, vehemently disagree. Their doubt is fueled by newly surfaced questions concerning the circumstances found at the discovery site and the condition of the remains. To truly grasp the complexities of this case and gain some level of understanding, I went beyond conventional methods. I engaged in a profound conversation with Deniz Arda's best friend, Henrik, who spearheaded the search efforts. This discussion stretched into a two-hour special for my Swedish series. Additionally, I managed to persuade Orij, the man who stumbled upon Deniz Arda in the wilderness, to meet with me and recount his experience firsthand. (Following a curious detail I spotted in a photo provided by Orij, I have updated the episode image to reflect this intriguing new angle).   Follow the series on Instagram instagram.com/brianshafferstory

Having just returned back from a special holiday I decided to release this episode consisting of a recap of this serie and it's progress towards our main goal, topping it off with an exclusive audio-file. The original audio with Mr. Shaffer has not been edited, the interview was conducted in 2007 over a phone line, with some clarity issues later on, but nothing major.

In this fifthteenth episode of the Brian Shaffer Story, we delve into the perplexing case of Bryce Laspisa, a 19-year-old college student whose sudden disappearance in August 2013 has mystified many. Initially a cheerful and carefree individual, Bryce's demeanor alarmingly shifted after returning from summer break to Sierra College in California. His inexplicable actions included abruptly ending his relationship, giving away his belongings, and sending distressing messages to close friends. These events prefaced a chilling road trip that led him to the Tehachapi Mountains, where his overturned vehicle was later found near Castaic Lake with no trace of Bryce. This episode explores the stark transformation from ordinary to irrational, continuing the themes introduced in Part 15, "The Two Squares." We investigate various theories around his disappearance—potential suicide, a deliberate vanishing, or foul play—while also considering the psychological and environmental influences that might have led to his drastic change in behavior. Join us as we explore this haunting journey that transformed an everyday route into a passage to the unknown, leaving a puzzle with more questions than answers and captivating all who delve into its depths.   https://charleyproject.org/case/bryce-david-laspisa

In this slow-burnin' thirteenth part of A Brian Shaffer Story we head to an outdoor setting for the first time and experience various surrounding sounds (noizz) including my rebuttal to the claim that The Captain from TCG believes his own eyes when seing Brian go down the escalators...... to my own thinfoil hat story that happened to hold eloquent tidbits connected to Brian's disappearance.   NB: In the final parts of the episode I happen to say ”craters” multiple times actually, I must have been overly ecstatic. I of course meant to say ”Crates” !!   Follow the series on Instagram instagram.com/brianshafferstory
