Gricar was eight months from retirement in April 2005 when he told his longtime girlfriend, Patty Fornicola, that he planned to go shopping for antiques in Lewisburg, 50 miles from their Bellefonte home.
When he did not return that Friday night, Fornicola called police. A day later, they found the Mini parked near the river. Inside was Gricar ‘s cellphone, and nothing else.
Search-and-rescue teams swarmed the site and the river. Fornicola and Lara Gricar held a press conference appealing for help from the public or for his return. Neither happened.
The years since have brought a trickle of head-scratching details, dead-end leads, and, at times, finger-pointing accusations.
Gricar abhorred smoking, but investigators found cigarette ashes on the passenger side of his car. His county-issued laptop, which he did not use regularly, according to Sloane, turned up later in the Susquehanna without its hard drive, a component typically screwed in.
When the hard drive turned up downstream, experts from two labs could not access its content.
Found this info which is disturbing from -

"Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, who has been indicted on charges of sexually abusing eight boys over 15 years, had access to the team's weight room as recently as last week, according to reports."
SNIP
"A person familiar with Sandusky's relationship with Penn State told The Associated Press that the former coach long maintained an office in the East Area Locker building which is across the street from the Penn State football team's building, and was on campus as recently as week ago working out."
"The university's online directory listed Sandusky, whom Penn State officials said was banned from campus over the weekend -- as an assistant professor emeritus of physical education in the Lasch building. "
Gricar had decided to drop this case. I wonder if he may have changed his mind and that is why he has disappeared.
He is either dead or not planning on being found.
I wonder if the truth about what happened to him will come out one of these days?
