MORE INVESTIGATION AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL IS REQUIRED
It’s really a shame because there are so many unanswered questions right now that people are just out to hang anyone and everyone involved, without knowing all of the details. Apparently after the 2002 incident, police WERE notified, however, they never filed any charges OR reports. Nobody is questioning the police depts or officers. That right there could clear many people who knew (ie Paterno, Mcqueary, etc), at the time that law enforcement WAS infact involved.
There’s also the situation with the district attorney up there who coincidentally, has been missing since the incident and has now been declared legally dead. If police were notified and later hush hushed, so to was the then DA who has never been seen or heard from. And all of THAT leads to THIS. The DA would have reported it to the THEN Attorney General, who at that time, was Gov Corbett, who coincidentally, has been very involved in directing what happens within the PSU Board of Trustees. Making sure he covers his own butt?
Seems to me, there remain A LOT of unanswered questions that run all the way to the top in the state of PA, and if this conspiracy theory pans out, well, everything that SHOULD have happened from a moral perspective, DID happen. It was the powers above the morally intact Paterno, however, that tried to make sure everything stayed under the carpet....
In the end I believe Paterno will be cleared of the “moral obligation” witch hunt that everyone seems to have mounted, and all of the cats will be let out of the bag.
- Spanier knew and covered it up
- Police dept knew and was forced to cover it up
- DA Gricar knew and was paid off to make it go away, or was simply “taken care of”
- Attorney General Corbett was informed and made sure Spanier was cleared, the local PD was silenced, and the DA was made to “disappear”
And now, the only good person left that had any evidence of pushing forward in the investigation, was the DA and he’s “dead”
What happened there? In 1998, District Attorney Gricar for whatever reason, declined to press charges against Sandusky following allegations of sexual abuse and the DA eventually turned up missing. In 2005, fishermen discovered Gricar’s county-issued laptop computer in the Susquehanna River beneath a bridge between Lewisburg and Milton. A State computer expert analyzed the computer and found that its hard drive was missing. Divers searched the area of the river near where the laptop was found over the next several days, but found nothing else. Months later, a hard drive was recovered on the banks of the Susquehanna River about 100 yards from where the laptop was found and is believed to be Gricar’s, however, it was badly damaged and analysis by the FBI, US Secret Service, and the firm Kroll Ontrack, were all unable to recover any data from the hard drive. In April 2009 Bellefonte police revealed that before his disappearance, Gricar used his home computer to perform internet searches on topics such as “how to wreck a hard drive”, “how to fry a hard drive”, and “water damage to a notebook computer”. How a man who served for 20 years, could simply leave his family behind and never be seen or heard from again? FAR to mysterious if you ask me.

I have a friend from law school in the state house...let’s just say Corbett is in deep sh*t, and is doing everything he can to blame the most prominent media figure out there. Paterno is not the uncaring monster he is being portrayed to be. Paterno has lawyer-ed up, and is about to come out swinging.
For the record, I am not a Penn State fan. I do, however, have relatives and friends very close to the university. They are ashamed of how some in the university handled this...but the whole story is not out there...yet.

I remember this story now. The DA who disappeared. Pennsylvania. I finally ‘get’ it. At the time, I wondered why there was so much coverage and what looked like concern.
It wasn’t about him dying/being murdered, was it.
I wondered the same thing in the same manner when Tim Russert died. Newspeople looked freaked.
