I read in another report that the hard disk to Gricar’s laptop was later found in a river in the area where he disappeared, but the data on it was unreadable.
Definitely sounds like foul play, unless he himself dumped the evidence he had collected and then disappeared for his own safety.
It’s certainly possible that there was some other case that might have been the reason for this, but since it seems that the Sandusky case is branching out further and further, it could be that he had reason to fear what he had found.
Sandusky’s primary victims are the boys of course. But he also has fowled the waters of public trust in their institutions. ALL of them. The football program, the University, the police, the district attorney.
In the long run that might be the worst damage he caused.
