“He seems to have been a straight shooter. Is there any possibility that Gricar could have been paid off in 1998 and then when this issue came up again, he panicked?”
From everything I know about Ray Gricar, I would say absolutely not.
It’s more likely that he knew sandusky was a small fish in a big sea. The facts as we know them now, were not the same set of facts that Gricar had to work with. He had to develop his case from scratch. The abuse of children was anathema to him...so I don’t believe for a second that he just dropped it. He would have intended to takeout the nest.
“The man investigating the 2005 disappearance of a central Pennsylvania prosecutor doesn’t believe it is linked to the prosecutor’s 1998 decision to not file child-sex charges against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.”
The Gricar disappearance was a complete botch from day one. Small town policemen are not trained to do the kind of investigation from the very first second. They simply aren’t. And the people in his office might have had reason to not pursue this a fully as they should. There is so much more to this. Trying to put it all together from the gitgo is complicated. I don’t know if Jim Robinson would want this kind of exposure either. Otherwise, we could throw our entire archives up here.
Right now the whole state is in damage control mode. Life could get dangerous. Gricar’s brother was suicided a couple of years before.
Gricar set the whole endgame up as a message and no one read it. Even the setting where his car was located was staged.
Wow, I’ve been reading a little about brother Roy and some other things.
Massive corruption in PA, wow.
