Sean Shannazzi ran several clubs and restaurants in Miami around this time.

He says the Hurricanes were so popular in Miami that they were treated no differently from pro athletes at his clubs.

Shannazzi followed Hurricanes football like everyone else in Miami, and he would get to know the players who were regulars.

And, you know, I would hang out with them.

They would call you Unk?

Unk.

Yeah, a lot of them, yeah.

Reid spent eight years trying to figure out who Unkle was.

Shanazi offered this up without even being asked.

And it wasn't just Brian.

Unk was a nickname that lots of players called him.

Shanazi remembered one particular shopping trip he made with Brian near the end of his life.

Shannazzi also helped cover Brian's funeral expenses, about $12,000 in total.

So Shannazzy was uncle.

He was almost like family to Brian, giving Brian money, but not in the amounts he would have needed to buy cars.

That meant there was someone who we still hadn't found yet.

But the whole reason we had gone to Shannazzy, why he was so interesting to us, had nothing to do with Brian's money.

It was because of a fight that Brian got into at one of his clubs in the spring of 2006.

Brian liked going to clubs with Willie Williams.

That was the friend with Brian in the home video from Atlanta.
