Do I think it is possible someone was murdered because he was about to open Pandora’s Box? Damned straight.
If Gicar’s disappearance was related to this, the answers come from the top of the pecking order, not the bottom.

It wasn’t until Tuesday that they revealed the extent of Gricar ‘s probable quest to clear the hard drive . They say the state police forensic computer lab found early in the investigation that the searches for information on “Window Washer 5.0” and other hard - drive erasing products had been made on the computer at the home Gricar shared with his live-in girlfriend. Other searches included: “how to wreck a hard drive ,” “how to fry a hard drive ,” “what’s inside a computer ,” “what’s inside a notebook computer ,” and “water damage to a notebook computer .” Investigators previously had disclosed that they had, through interviews, heard that Gricar was talking about ways to erase a hard drive with friends and colleagues about 16 months before he disappeared. A box for such software was seen at his house around January 2004. “The investigation learned early on that Mr. Gricar had, in fact, purchased software to accomplish this,” Rickard said. “It was believed that pending Mr. Gricar ‘s retirement, he may have wanted to erase his county-issued laptop computer prior to returning the laptop to the District Attorney’s Office.”
