On June 30, 2011, Lara Gricar, Ray’s daughter and trustee of his estate, petitioned Centre County for a court declaration of presumed death.[18] County President Judge David E. Grine approved the petition and declared Gricar legally dead on July 25, 2011.
He was missing for 6 years. This is fairly typical in cases like these unless you think his daughter is invloved as well.
This is not a typical case.
