If RFG left on his own, the key question is, "How did Ray Gricar get out of Lewisburg."If we think of Ray stepping away...I assume he had help. I believe the cigarette smoke is telling of that. It had to have been someone in his circle he COMPLETELY trusted....who has kept their lips sealed to this day. Who could Ray trust with such vital information?
On the other hand, he was intelligent and could have been planning this for quite sometime, on his own. Leaving the car in a familiar area wanting to be seen..as if it was just another normal day so to speak.
Wherever he went, he has gone unrecognized if that's the case.
The two likely answers are:
1. He bought a used car for less than $10,000 in cash.
2. Someone acquired a car (either a rental or a straw purchase).
1 Expanded: In the spring of 2005, there was a fire at PennDoT's processing center. It delayed the processing of title transfers. Unless you went to the AAA, it would take more than 60 days to process a transfer. It would not even show up in LE's database until that was done. RFG, who was LE, would know this.
The $10 k is the reporting limit to the US Treasury for cash transactions. I purchased a car about a week prior to RFG disappearance for less than $6K, and had it for 15 years.
2. Expanded: A helper, close to RFG, could have purchased or leased a car and given it to him to drive out of Lewisburg. The Southfield sighting may have been him returning it to the straw purchaser/renter, if accurate. Likewise, getting the purchase finalized could explain why RFG was seen in Lewisburg on 4/16.
Keep in mind that, while this could be an explanation for the witness reports, it is not the only explanation. The witnesses could be mistaken.
Yes, and it does not match anyone in the criminal database.Was DNA ever retrieved from that cigarette?
