I subscribed and there was something of interest. BPD Chief Weaver said that he thought it was suicide.

New article in PennLive on RFG. It is part of their "True Crime" series and is behind a paywall: Ray Gricar, a Pa. district attorney, went for a drive 17 years ago. He hasn’t been seen since

Since Sandusky did things for Centre County C&YS, so it had a conflict of interest. It was a legitimate conflict. The person the brought in was not local. From what I've heard, RFG basically said that if Sandusky "received help with the problem," he wouldn't prosecute.

RFG was involved the 1998 incident, beyond question. He killed the investigation. That said, I have seen no evidence that the Sandusky case is tied, even tangentially, to RFG's disappearnce.

If you go to page 18, you will see the account of the 1998 incident. Sandusky Grand Jury Presentment

There was a report of Jerry Sandusky shower with two prepubescent boy (at different times) in 1998. RFG declined to prosecute. When they were investigating Sandusky in late 2000's, they were able to contact one of the boys (now an adult), Victim 6; the other was in the armed forces and out of...

None, unless there was a tip off prior to 11/4/11 about the 1998 incident. Once Ganim published her first story on 3/31/11, there were people that remembered the incident. SS mentioned it to me on 4/1 (and I basically ignored it). Someone at the BPD could have heard about it, and got the...

1. The tax filing is public; I have a copy. 2. Smith was not running for anything in 2005, and has not run for anything since. Being a long term 1st Deputy DA, he could have run in 2005 for DA, after RFG announced his retirement. He didn't. Telling Smith that something will be political...

Well, I would not say that in this case. Castor claimed that he had talked to Smith about basically lending out detectives in 2005 to help with the investigation. Smith said that he did not recall it. When the Sandusky case broke in 2011, Smith said in the press that did not recall the...

I said that the answer is telling, so let me give several reasons why all of these people could act this way regarding a grand jury: 1. They are convinced that RFG's disappearance is voluntary (walkaway or suicide). The circumstantial evidence, an unknown and untraceable bank account, the...

RK corrected the record to note that the governor cannot call a grand jury. The Attorney General of PA could. Here is a list of the people holding the AG post. Those that served as acting AG's are labeled as (A): Tom Corbett 1/18/05-1/18/11 William Ryan (A) 1/8/11-5/27/11 Linda Kelly...

A few things that were opposite bombshells. Corbett, then AG, approved a plan to let other DA Offices help out. She is trying to link in Jake Corman, the State Senator from Centre County. Corman was on the TSM board and is a PSU alum. That does not tie into Gricar. BTW: I will be...

He didn't.

New Final Argument podcast: Final Argument: The Disappearance of Ray Gricar, District Attorney Two glaring errors up front. 1. A governor cannot call a grand jury. 2. The PA governor serves as a non-voting member of the PSU Board.

Since the Gricar case does not involve a criminal prosecution, an actual court order would be difficult to obtain. While leaked, they are governmental documents. Further, it is a bit late for anyone in Centre County to do anything about them.

Hi Jana. I am involved in a "project," so I will be limited until 5/30. I can say, for a fact that RK does have a copy of the case file. I wrote to LE and gave them a password they could use to contact me; they did. She knew the password. There is no doubt she has the information.

Initially, it was a joint investigation, IIRC. PEF was interviewed in Milton. Sloan was also interviewed by a PSP profiler.

PEF was questioned by the PSP and several days later sat down to with two veteran prosecutors for four hours. She didn't even have a lawyer with her. Between the Buehner, McKnight, the PSP and a polygraph, there is no way that she could cover something like that up. "Guileless" does not equal...

A "difficult position" is not necessarily illegal or unethical. DA's, in general, have discretion on when to prosecute. In PA, if an aggrieved party disagrees, they can go to state AG. I think the courts can order a prosecution. It is rare, but the Amtrak wreck in Philadelphia was an...

I'll take it a step further, that I know about. I do not know of anything that RFG did involving PSU that would have been illegal.
