Here is the first half of the story: The hunt for Ray Gricar: 15 years of clues, theories and the search for answers | News, Sports, Jobs - The Express
A bit disappointed by McKelvey's piece, which seemed in need of an editor. It was welcome, of course, but scattered. A good anniversary article should be tight and thorough, and this was neither.Here is the first half of the story: The hunt for Ray Gricar: 15 years of clues, theories and the search for answers | News, Sports, Jobs - The Express

He attempted to be the star of the piece and he's nowhere near interesting enough to use that approach. Read like stale doughnuts and cold coffee. Hard to make a case this interesting seem as perfunctory as that article managed to do.It seemed like he was writing more about the people in the investigation than the investigation: I will grant that. He, perhaps without intending, destroyed Buehner's source. There were key difference in what "Mineshaft guy" said and what Buehner's correspondent said.

I read the whole thing, and really appreciated it. It was great to hear from Tony Gricar, who was so gracious in discussing the case on the boards back in the day. There were also a few things I had forgotten, but the main one is that I either wasn't here for, or don't remember an in-depth discussion of the mineshaft theory. At the time it was discussed, maybe on the old Court TV boards, it was more of a biker club thing, it didn't have a lot of detail or credibility. I must say it absolutely gives me pause. Without knowing the details of what was investigated and what wasn't, it's hard to dismiss it outright. There is a slight air of plausibility about it. But as usual with this case, it could be something...or it could be nothing.
Wherever you are, Ray Gricar, I hope you're at peace.
well we don't know what money he had elsewhere..aliases, off shore..who knows..
he definitely would know every possible way to hide money as a prosecutor.
and he was only withdrawing 125.00 a week in cash? this whole money thing
sounds bizarre. seriously bizarre. mOO
was his divorce in 2001?
who the hell liquidates? wow that sounds like a bad divorce..seems like Ray may have decided never to go through a liquidation again and instead had control over all of his assets and a limit to what would be given or divided should things go south.
PEF would get the things he put in her name. up front.
wonder if this awful experience was the catalyst for some unusual money habits.
mOO
The Informant indicated RG was lured by a woman working with the pair. RG was seen talking to a woman while shopping at his last reported location.
I wouldn't be surprised if DNA from a cigarette butt(s) found near RG's vehicle was from a woman.
The Informant's info is considered "evidence", no matter how circumstantial... and it does align with reports that RG was last seen with a woman as they browsed the antique mall.There were multiple butts that yielded DNA. I think it is from different people.
One problem is that there is no evidence of luring.
