Title: Bizzaro! Questions on Sandusky Are Wrapped in a 2005 Mystery Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on November 09, 2011, 07:30:45 AM http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/09/sports/ncaafootball/questions-on-sandusky-wrapped-in-2005-gricar-mystery.html?src=tp
What happened to the DA that did not prosecute Jerry Sandusky in 1998? That is a good question. District Attorney Ray Gricar disappeared in 2005 never to be seen again! Quote 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 police in central Pennsylvania continue to investigate even though Gricar’s daughter, Lara, successfully petitioned in July to have her father declared legally dead so the family could find some closure and begin dividing his estate. Yet as the Sandusky investigation moves forward, questions will be asked anew about why Gricar did not pursue charges against him 13 years ago. A small but strident minority believes Gricar did not want to tackle a case that involved a hometown icon. Others who knew and worked with Gricar say he was a meticulous, independent and tough-minded prosecutor who was unbowed by Penn State, its football program and political pressure in general.

Which brings up another question: Whatever happened to Joe Paterno?

This whole thing makes me sick. For years I have admired JoPa and the Penn State program. Like everyone I thought he hung around too long but I thought he was a good guy. It sure looks like he swept this thing under the rug like everyone else at Penn State and that is not accetable. Title: Re: Bizzaro!

Its really distressing to see someone that I once held up as being second only to CPB caught up in something like this. The high regard with which I once held JoePa and PSU in general has been shattered. Title: Re: Bizzaro!
