While Centre County prosecutor Ray Gricar has been declared dead, questions about his disappearance only seem to multiply. And the Jerry Sandusky scandal renewed the mystery's rumor mill. On the anniversary of Gricar's 2005 disappearance, The Patriot-News goes back through the timeline in detail.
Bellefonte, Pa. -- Among the first people investigators sought when Ray Gricar went missing seven years ago was a group informally referred to as the women.
He was married twice. He had a few serious relationships and some casual ones.
There was the nurse who Gricar met in the early 2000s and spontaneously asked to marry him. She turned him down.
There was the waitress Gricar always requested at The Gamble Mill restaurant here in the Centre County seat and would flirt with during his meal.
There was the dark-haired woman seen with Gricar the day he disappeared.

(25,938 posts)I'm inclined to believe that Gricar staged his own death and went into hiding. The reason: threats made against him by some very powerful individuals who had a great deal to lose if the full story of Jerry Sandusky came to light. As I've seen reported, Sandusky was just the tip of the iceberg; his organization Second Mile was a front operation for a pedophilia ring that catered to the perversions of some very wealthy, powerful individuals.
