Gricar, the missing DA
Posted on 11/08/2011 6:18:10 PM PST by BunnySlippers
One of the questions surrounding the sex-abuse case against Jerry Sandusky is why a former district attorney chose not to prosecute the then-Penn State assistant coach in 1998 after reports surfaced that he had inappropriate interactions with a boy.
The answer is unknowable because of an unsolved mystery: What happened to Ray Gricar, the Centre County, Pa., district attorney?
Gricar went missing in April 2005. The murky circumstances surrounding his disappearance — an abandoned car, a laptop recovered months later in a river without a hard drive, his body was never found — have spawned Web sites, television programs and conspiracy theories. More than six years later, the police still receive tips and reports of sightings.

The plot thickens. Where was Sandusky? Got an alibi for that period and location?
Good grief. What next?
Can anyone tell me how this all got started? Did one of the victims come forward and that’s what got the guy arrested on Saturday? Everything I have read so far starts with him being arrested, I can’t find out how it came to be.
Yikes. This scandal is getting worse by the day.
Woah. Interesting.
It’s funny as I remember the case of this missing DA. And that he had never been found.
But it never occurred to me to connect Penn State and Sandusky to his disappearance.
Gricar, the missing DA
Few people might have been aware that the DA was working on this case at the time.
Any ties to the mob/union with this do you think? Any gambling ring? It IS ‘PA’, after all.
There were incidents off and on for 15 years. Everyone passed the buck.
An investigation began in ernest 3 years ago and culminated with Sandusky’s arrest last weekend.
The victims have doubled in 2 days.
Is PA big union?
Penn? Yes, big union state. That’s what I’m wondering.
Sandusky was working at a high school doing stuff with the kids. One kid complained to his mom (this was in 2009) about inappropriate advances. Mom went to the school, the school went to the authorities, and they began investigating.
After 1 - 2 years, the investigation progressed enough to bring him up on charges via grand jury.
The snowball started rolling down hill from there.
I think I got it right.......
Joe PA needs to just retire now. This isn’t going away and there is no way of saving the football program(which is their biggest worry). They have much egg on their face. Everyone knew and no one called police.Should be more than Sandusky going to prison for life
Thanks. Now I have a better understanding.
Sure is shameful.
“Any ties to the mob/union with this do you think? Any gambling ring? It IS ‘PA’, after all”
Careful. You can get yourself a suspension from FR for referencing ethnic stereotypes
Questions, questions, questions, flooding into the mind of the concerned young person today.
Thank you. You summed it up well for this outsider.
