I find many things in this article odd.
"Montour County District Attorney Robert Buehner Jr., a close friend of Gricar's, believes he was likely murdered. He defended Gricar's honesty and said there's likely a sound, legal explanation why Gricar didn't charge Sandusky in 1998."
-Why does he believe that he was murdered? That's a VERY odd thing for a DISTRICT ATTORNEY to say. But if he was in hiding, this would be a very smart thing to say. Stop wondering about his whereabouts, he is dead.
"Buehner believes Gricar likely reviewed Sandusky's comments to the boy's mother and determined they "were so ambiguous that it was not a 'confession', it was not an 'admission.'""
- So he dropped the case because he didn't get a confession? NO NO NO! When does a prosecutor think "well, I didn't get a confession, let's just quit."
"Stacy Parks Miller, the current Centre County DA, didn't return a call for comment; her office rejected two Right-to-Know requests filed on Thursday by the AP. The office said it couldn't release records about Gricar's disappearance because that investigation is ongoing. Gricar's file on the 1998 allegations against Sandusky also can't be released, Miller's office said, because "there are no such records in the office." "
- This makes me wonder, "are you keeping the investigation open so you don't have to release records?" Why are there no such records in the office? Was Gricar working this case entirely from his laptop?
"As evidence that Gricar had the guts to not prosecute someone contrary to popular opinion, Buehner recalled the case of Scott Paxson, a star defensive tackle accused of raping a woman at his campus apartment in December 2004. "
- This is news to me.
""I can say that prior to Ray's disappearance, there was absolutely nothing going on with Ray Gricar and Jerry Sandusky," Rickard said. "
- But there was still stuff going on between Sandusky and children. So when, officially did Gricar drop the Sandusky case?
