... The state attorney general’s office says Gricar is the one who made the decision not to prosecute Jerry Sandusky in 1998, when two kids reported that Sandusky washed them during a shower. ... According to those who were present during that investigation, Gricar seemed to be the one who made the decision not to prosecute.
We’ll probably never know why.
Gricar disappeared April 15, 2005, after taking a day off work to drive to Lewisburg. His disappearance has been the subject of a lot of speculation.
His laptop hard drive, which was found dumped in the Susquehanna River near where his car was parked in Lewisburg, was too badly damaged by water to be read.
What information on that computer was destroyed is left to conjecture.

How convenient.
Today’s story..the dots are being connected..albeit slowly..
IMO, Gricar figured out the score during his investigation and couldn’t live with his decision not to prosecute. I can understand (but not condone) the pressure he would have been under.
But then he ran for and was elected to the job. And that’s what we taxpayers pay them for.
The pathology of pedophiles is pretty well known. They rarely operate in a vacuum...there is usually a network of others...exchanging child pornography. or much worse, exchanging victims...passing them among themselves. If one were writing a script, the idea of a ring of child abusers hiding in plain sight, in a quiet, out-of-the way place like Happy Valley..would be a sure fire hit. Sadly, it fits....I expect a lot more cleats,..er.. shoes, to drop befoe long..
Gricar was killed for something related to his job. That much is obvious. It’s always been assumed that it was the work of unnamed drug dealers. I would submit that a bigger case involving bigger money interests than this one never crossed his desk.
Hard to imagine this situation getting any uglier, but I think it’s going to.
My guess is that Gricar is in ARGENTINA
My guess is that Gricar is in ARGENTINA
That crossed my mind too as one possibility - that Gricar was paid off handsomely for making the Sandusky case go away and disappeared.
Not all homos are obviously homos.. some are masked as public servants..
And if not public servants then public personalities..
Sandusky was hidden right out in public..
Wonder how deep the bunny hole goes..
Evil on scale most would blanch at...
Sandusky’s paycheck was on the order of $1 million annually, IIRC.
Needless to say there would be many, many people associated with and concerned with the image of Penn State as well.
The plot thickens.
So perhaps the “Blame Paterno” crowd might consider that the coach was at some point threatened to shut up, or else?
So if he was a coward, that would make him less guilty?
Could M-O-N-E-Y or political influence from the University'd Athletic Department Boosters be two?
They knew that he sodomized a child boy in the showers. That is why he retired early.
They couldn’t read the hard drive then. Wonder if they could now....
Guilty of what? If an allegation were made to me and I passed it along up the chain to the guy who is in charge of the university police, I would certainly feel I did what was called for, legally and morally.
A witness can not file a complaint. If you did not witness anything, ie Paterno and the now former AD, then you have even less standing as what you have is hearsay. Yet people at PSU did enough that Sandusky was investigated by a prosecutor and not charged. What more can one do? They can not fire Sandusky, he did not work for them. They also took away his keys to the PSU football facilities. I guess they could have shunned Sandusky.
If one is a PSU administrator, one can not make the DA file charges or the police investigate. So as far as I can see, Paterno and the now former PSU AD did what was called for. I can not tell what the now former VP for Business Affairs did. If he did not pass the information on to someone on police force he administered, then that is a potential problem. But even then, the DA has already looked at Sandusky once and did not file. They did pass information to the charity in an attempt to cut him off from victims, IF Sandusky was in fact doing something wrong.
So as a non-PSU guy, it sure looks to me like Paterno and the AD are neither legally nor morally wrong in their actions. [Perjury and the AD is another matter as I was not in the grandjury room and do not know what was asked or said.]
Sounds like no.
IMHO...
Some people might have given him money to not prosecute, go away, etc., some quite possibly may have made some other “offers” “hard to refuse”.
IMHO, he did his homework on the acme DIY-witness protection program over the course of months or years as his computer searches indicate, got all the cash he could from whomever he could, planned as much as he could and bailed.
Remember...
from pennlive.com...
“Gricar’s daughter, Lara, who lives in Washington state and is her father’s sole heir, petitioned the court earlier this month.
Her attorney said she is seeking closure.”
I guess she’s seeking the value of his estate as well.
If they parted actually on good terms and she wanted to, she could help daddy if he needed any help. He could contact her without her doing a thing. Simple dead drops, etc., hard to detect by investigators.
Well, there’s no actual investigation into him any more, seeing how he was recently declared dead. “Poor guy must have died.” The ultimate witness protection program.
Hey, IMHO, if his family was threatened, he was in a very, very tough spot.
Of course this is all complete speculation on my part.
I’m just posting this here because a total and complete disappearance of a State Attorney General coupled with a child rape case being buried ain’t good and I would think that it’s a rather rare and noteworthy event. Also, the Constitution has been trampled by big-government believers who insist that law enforcement and the courts can be relied upon to “protect” children when the children’s own biological parents fall short of government standards for parenting.
