PA PA - District Attorney Ray Gricar Mysteriously Disappeared - Bellefonte 15 April 2005 #18

[J. J. in Phila]

wait, he made out a check for 10K in cash? that's weird considering his expenses etc. he has exhibited a reluctance to finance things so maybe it jives but hmmm. unless he didn't buy something...this is just more the same mysterious info about Ray.

first off making the check to cash indicates the payee doesn't wish to have connection to the transaction on paper.

could be he gave someone a loan

could be he paid someone to do something under the table like paint his house etc. and they don't have documentation or an account to cash a check.

could be a bought something from an independent seller on the down low.

10K cash with no payee is suss for so many reasons . also such a large amount of cash, as you say " the limit"

can they prove ray wrote this check? Do you know when it was written?

mOO

I do not know the details, except that LE was making the inquiry.

Other than being written on a Citizen's Bank account, I do not know any details.

I did want to note a few things:

1. We know that RFG paid for the Mini outright. This could have been a deposit if written 2004 around the purchase time.

2. We know that an HVAC dealer called the house on the morning of 4/15/05 regarding some repairs.

3. He did make gifts to his daughter. If there had been delays in checks clearing, he could have handed it to her during a visit. Even a cashier's check can take a few days.

4. He might have wanted to open an account at another local bank.

While there are reasonable explanations, it does raise a red flag.
