Ray Gricar 59
Took Friday off work
Called gf at 11:30 am from Union County
NO activity on his cell phones or credit cards (what about his bank account)
State police found Gricar's red-and-white Mini Cooper on Saturday evening in a dirt parking lot on the outskirts of Lewisburg
NO signs of foul play
Police said Gricar was last seen wearing a blue fleece-type jacket, jeans and sneakers.
Gricar, the county's district attorney for 20 years, recently decided not to seek a sixth term and said he planned to retire in December at age 60. He inherited a part-time office when first elected in 1985 but campaigned successfully to make the job full-time.
Among the more high-profile cases Gricar handled was the prosecution of a 21-year-old woman who opened fire with a hunting rifle on Penn State's campus in 1996, killing one person and wounding a second.

The car was brought to state police barracks in Milton today. But after traveling to Milton to meet with state police, Bellefonte Police Chief Duane Dixon said that there were no signs that someone may have broken into the car and that no blood was found inside the vehicle.
NO mention of fingerprints ????

The car was then turned over to Gricar’s longtime girlfriend, Patty Fornicola, a clerk in the district attorney’s office who filed the missing-person report Friday night. Police said he was last heard from at 11:30 a.m. Friday when he called Fornicola to tell her he was going for a drive on a road that led to Lewisburg. Gricar had taken the day off.

Same things but info about brother


Gricar's 53-year-old brother, Roy J. Gricar, vanished under similar circumstances in May 1996, and was later ruled to have drowned himself, The Centre Daily Times reported.

The West Chester, Ohio, resident told his wife he was going out on an errand and never returned, according to an account at the time in the Dayton Daily News. His car was found abandoned near a river, and his body was later pulled from the water.

Dropped Rape Charges?

Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar dropped charges against a Philadelphia sheriff's deputy accused of raping a State College woman in a hotel in 2003.

Missing DA called dedicated prosecutor who kept low profile

FBI investigators are helping to analyze Gricar's bank and credit car records. On Wednesday, police officials in Bellefonte, who are heading the investigation, announced that an anonymous donor posted a $5,000 reward for information on Gricar's whereabouts.

Police have applied for a search warrant to look at Gricar's medical history. Gricar's girlfriend, Patty Fornicola, said the prosecutor had been complaining the last three weeks of fatigue and would often take naps at lunch or after work, according to a copy of the warrant application obtained Wednesday by WJAC-TV in Johnstown.

Colleagues heap praise on Gricar for his work in prosecuting domestic violence and sexual assault cases. Gricar's career dates back to the 1970s, when he worked as an assistant city prosecutor in Cleveland and then as an assistant prosecutor for Cuyahoga County, Ohio. There, he prosecuted dozens of homicide cases.

He moved to Centre County in 1980 to become an assistant district attorney before being elected DA in 1986.

Third witness says she saw Gricar

http://www.centredaily.com/mld/centredaily/news/11457629.htm

Five fingerprints found in or on the Mini Cooper have been sent to the state police crime lab in Harrisburg and will be compared with Fornicola's and Gricar's prints, Dixon said. Cigarette butts found in the parking lot also will be analyzed, although Dixon said it's unlikely they are connected to the case.


Investigators said they have found no activity on Gricar's credit cards or bank account since he's been missing. They also said there were no unusual withdrawals before he disappeared. They have not looked into the district attorney's office finances, Dixon said Thursday.

Baron also has told investigators that at some point during Gricar's drive, the opportunity presented itself and a move was made to get Gricar into the tailing tan car. Baron believes someone leaned into the passenger side window of the Mini Cooper while smoking a cigarette to coerce Gricar from his car.

State police reports of witness accounts also note a similar scene, Zaccagni said. They describe someone leaning in to talk to the driver before the car pulls away abruptly.

A new Web site has been created to aid in the search for missing Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar.

The site, created by Gricar's nephew, includes photographs of Gricar, as well as information on how to contact the Bellefonte police with tips on the 59-year-old's disappearance.

---Gricar's girlfriend and housemate, Patty Fornicola, his daughter Lara, his ex-wife and his nephew Tony Gricar met with Holliday and Officer Darrel Zaccagni at the end of last week.

"We just kind of went over things and had a little brainstorming session to try to stay on top of the investigation," Holliday said.---

Computer hard drive may yield data

LEWISBURG — Whatever data there is on the hard drive of Ray Gricar's computer, found recently in the Susquehanna River near Lewisburg, may be recoverable, an area computer expert said...

I wish we knew exactly where the hard drive was found relative to the Route 45 bridge. Might it have been tossed from the bridge (as it appears the laptop was), or from the park bank ... or neither?

it was apparently found approximately 100yds up-stream from where the laptop was found, which would likely indicate it went in from the park. i say from the park as to get down to the riverbank itself seems to have been a difficult thing due to the debris field.

the laptop was discovered under the 45 bridge, almost directly underneath and next to and abutment.

1.) OK, I'm confused!

2.) In early August on Fox, TG said the laptop was found on the upstream side of the bridge, and the Sunbury Daily Item reported it was "found near the third support of the bridge, on the Montandon side". That would put it near the middle of the river. Were these reports right or wrong?

3.) And if the hard drive was found about 100 yards upstream from where the laptop was found, that would still be about the middle of the river, not to mention a very peculiar location (inaccessible from either the traffic bridge or the park). But according to some reports it was found about 100 yards from the laptop and within 15 feet of the bank (meaning I suppose the bottom of the creek/river bank, which was an exposed area due to low water conditions).

1.) i'll add you to the official list. :D

2.) actually, i believe that tg said that the location of the laptop would indicate that it would have gone into the water from the upstream side, as it would be difficult for an object to be thrown from the downstream side and end up under the bridge. and yes, the location was towards the center of the bridge. i believe there are 6 or 7 supports.

3.) if i read you correctly, i think that 100 yds "as the crow flies" would be about right. the location near the bank is correct. the hard drive was found in the more recently developed/revealed river bank (read: receded water-line).

Police wait for Data in Gricar Case
11/14/05


But weeks after turning the drive over to the FBI, Bellefonte police officer Darrel Zaccagni said, authorities still have no word on whether any data can be salvaged. They don't even know if FBI analysts have begun examining the drive or when they might be able to expect a report.


http://www.centredaily.com/mld/centredaily/13161301.htm

i'm thinking that either someone knew his routine,; followed him and abducted him. i'ts probably some one that he put away.
or , they hired someone to do the deed.
i wonder if the fbi are investigating his gilfriend...... then again whoever did it must know something about how this whole process works; since he is still 'missing ' 7 months later. poor guy if htere are no signs of foul play- was there a gun involved, forcing him peacfully to their wishes? who can say?

[day2day]

I would love an hour with just Nancy Grace and the "good" detective :lol:

ZACCAGNI: Well, there is some evidence from what his girlfriend told us towards the end before he disappeared. He was a little more depressed in the sense that he wasn`t as active as he had been, he was not feeling well, he was taking longer naps, a little more moody. You know, and I`m by far not an expert in this field.


uhuh...i wonder just what he IS an expert in :D

New year, fresh faces draw new attention to missing DA case

By GENARO C. ARMAS
The Associated Press

-----------------------------

BELLEFONTE, Pa. - In more than 30 years as a prosecutor, Ray Gricar had a hand in sending hundreds of people to prison for crimes ranging from domestic violence to drug dealing to murder.......

http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/103-01122006-596957.html

[ParlorElephant]

Very interesting, Saunterer. Wonder which is true - Dixon's statement (4/17/05 article link) that there was no cell phone activity after the 4/15 AM call to the DA Office, or Zaccagni's later statements that there were no other calls OUT on the phone, but that there was calls IN to the phone, indicating they were the office and family members.

Editorial piece from Chambersburg, written by a former Centre Countian.

Editor's view: It will take community leadership to tackle domestic violence problem

Excerpt: "Prior to becoming editor here, I was managing editor of the newspaper in Centre County and I also served for seven years on the board of a women's center and shelter for abuse victims.

What I saw there was a commitment at the highest level to take domestic violence seriously. Then-District Attorney Ray Gricar worked closely with the women's center to provide (and fund) a strong support system for abuse victims. In addition, he made vigorous prosecution of domestic violence cases a priority in his office during the decades he served as DA."

[Serendipitous1]

The much-anticipated meeting of Pennsylvania State Police criminal investigators reviewing the investigation into the disappearance of former Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar has been postponed until the week of Nov. 15.http://www.centredaily.com/mld/centredaily/news/breaking_news/15904503.htm

[Serendipitous1]

"I don't believe it's by any means an active investigation at this point," said a clearly frustrated Tony Gricar, the missing prosecutor's nephew and family spokesman. "I think it's [the PSP's review] been postponed enough. It seems to be a vicious cycle, just like everything else in this case to this point."

Here then is probably where RG's money had been going!!! This former editor and board member of the Women's Center and Shelter for abuse victims said "RG worked closely with the center to provice (AND FUND) a strong support system for abuse victims."

Maybe if someone on the board there could go over the books from the time RG was involved there they would see all the donations. Probably RG's tax records recorded it too. JMO

[tonyGricar]

This is actually one of the reasons that I find it interesting where people question/speculate on the amount of money that Ray had in his cash accounts. People speculate without knowing the whole story, or more likely, as we see with various far-fetched scenarios here, people don't know the whole story, therefore they speculate (not a bad thing, just an observation).

I thought it was pretty widely known that even though Ray was not full-time (even though he worked the hours, plus many, many more) for much of his Centre County career, when he looked to become full-time, salary-wise, he took an interesting step with the salary differential. He donated the first year's differential to help establish a certain women's resource. Why? Because he was not able to get/or assist in getting a grant for such an entity. (Ironic side-note: anyone remember a certain person who did not like his attempts to become full-time?)

Thanks for bringing this up, Sherrijean. I think it's safe to say that we hope that his fight against domestic violence is his true legacy.

I hope you don't think I was thinking he ran off and had put his money away to do it. At first I did question it but from all I heard of him and read about his retirement it didn't make sense. I was glad I found the link that told he funded the Women's Resource Center so the community and this board could see he was putting his somewhere of value. If you read the next site I wrote on I am questioning about the centers in Lewisburg and whether he might have been helping Mrs. Vargas and she was only helping her husband. Being a Mom and grandmother if I even suspected my spouse of abusing one of my babies they couldn't have saved him from me. Maybe she was scared of him!!

I didn't know RG except in passing in the courthouse and I think I saw him in the Antique Mall in Bellefonte one of the times I was there, but it was a long distance look.

I have read so many articles on him it is just impossible for me to believe some of the nasty things people say. The article that he showed the newsperson the picture of LG and said he was into photography and collected old cameras and talked about his retirement and he and PF going together sounded very heartfelt and he looked happy talking about it. He had great plans and knew what he wanted to do and when.

By the way Tony, did you check his camera to see if there might be undeveloped film in any? I know I have a couple from a couple years ago that have rolls in them. Just a thought.

..."No stone has been left unturned," Michael Madeira and Shawn Weaver said when they became, respectively, Centre County's new district attorney and Bellefonte's new police chief, and all leads in the Gricar case had been fully investigated. Fully, that is, to the extent that a small-town police department could investigate. And that simply is not enough.

...But ask the attorney general or the FBI to conduct an investigation into the mysterious disappearance of the Centre County district attorney? That would be admitting that they needed help, that they were not capable, in terms of resources and experience, to handle the investigation.

That last paragraph won't happen anyways. After sending a letter to the Attorney General about things I had found while searching their site and questioning why they didn't take over the case, I received a letter back that stated it won't be donee. The gentleman gave a couple reasons of what has to happen in order for them to do so and they said neither fit the case and they would not be stepping in.

Just my opinion, but that is only because of a lack of will. Mark Smith failed to recognize or admit to the problem for 8 months. Mike Madeira has been stuck with the politics of the situation ever since. And the Attorney General refuses to put his weight into the mix. No one can convince me that, if there is a will, there is not a way. Forget them then. They are as useless as teets on a bull. If someone (Tony?) wants to play hardball, I would suggest going over their heads, to the PA legislature. Petition for a special task force.

There you go Tony! I have already sent letters to different members of the legislature, on a different matter, and a lot of them got back to me. For a matter of this magnitude, you will receive more response from them.

If not we can get in touch with our local congressmen. I'm willing.

I received the following email about the man found in strippings.

Mifflin County is technically part of the Harrisburg ratings market, which may explain why you don't get us on cable. We don't decide what the markets are; that is done by the ratings services. "

Did anyone local catch the Centre County Police Chief's Association media event held last Thursday afternoon (12/14)? There was a segment featuring Chief Tom King and Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira which aired on C-NET, Channel 7, on 12/20.

It was probably all or mostly on drunk driving, but I was wondering if there was also anything related to RFG. The segment is to be on again tonight at 8, and Sunday afternoon at 2.

Nothing new (to most) - just did not want this lost in the locked holiday thread, even if it is only a jab instead of a hard, body blow (small concession to the big guy).

[Serendipitous1]

Madeira's and Marshall's performances again fail to meet the Centre Daily Times' muster, while Judge Lunsford gets high marks.

"This spring, the lead detective is changing jobs, so the chief has assigned a new detective to the case...As for the latest in the Gricar case, police still call it an active investigation. No reported major leads, though police are taking a second look at several pieces of evidence, as advised by the state police assessment team."

"'If things continue to go the way they go, I am not going to be able to see the Ray Gricar case closed and solved,' [Zaccagni] said. 'That is always going to be a regret, if I am not going to be able to see closure on that before I leave.'"

It appears that raygricar.com (and therefore the "site photos") is down again...or maybe out for good? When a tree falls in the woods with no one around, it makes no sound. Just my opinion, applied to this case in a number of ways.

Four people so far have announced they're running for [Centre County] sheriff: Two Democrats, incumbent Denny Nau and Port Matilda resident Gregory Wilson, and two Republicans, [Walker Township resident Bill] Kuzio and Taylor Township resident Paul E. Stamm.

So who is the person putting this stuff on the CC Gov site? Who are you supposed to believe? I always see the sheriff vehicles transporting prisoners back and forth to their hearings/prison. Guess their office does more than I thought. Maybe they should have turned the RG case over the Sheriff Nau, maybe there would have been results by now(Nau). :D

Street of Shops owner, Craig Bennett: "I have had a thousand people, literally, stop in and say, 'Hey, Ray Gricar disappeared there. What do you think about it?'" Officials treat Bennett's sighting as the last credible visual contact with the 59-year-old prosecutor. "He was just standing there, waiting."

Clinton County DA, Ted McKnight: The case should have belonged to the Union County DA's office, not to the BPD. "They aren't the people who ought to be involved. I have been saying that from day one. It shouldn't be the hometown people."

Dauphin County DA, Ed Marsico: The BPD and Centre County DA's office have done everything they could. "To have a colleague basically disappear from the face of this Earth is troubling. ... No resources should go to waste in a case like this."

Bloggers speculate about Gricar's finances, that he has been absorbed by the federal witness-protection program, and even comment on the type of beer he preferred.

Two police officers who once led the Lycoming County Drug Task Force were charged today in an alleged conspiracy that authorities said included selling forfeited cars for personal gain and destroying records of ongoing investigations.
http://www.centredaily.com/news/breaking_news/story/123154.html

During the course of the investigation, agents attempted to obtain drug task force records and it was discovered that all records prior to January 2006 had allegedly been destroyed. The destroyed records were the only complete copies and included information for cases that were still under investigation and prosecution.

Investigators in an unsolved triple homicide in Lancaster County are going online just about every day, checking out pertinent blogs and message boards for tips and theories that might lead to an arrest. They compare what is being posted with unpublished details of the case, and believe there is valid information because posters can be anonymous and some people might feel more comfortable sharing tips or other information. They also look at the theories. But because there has not been much information given out by authorities, people have been filling in the blanks on their own. As a result some of the theories do not have any basis. Still LE is encouraging people to continue to post their ideas.

All about James Renner, with a link to his own blog: http://www.grayco.com/cleveland/authors/renner-james/author.shtml

On his blog, there is a brief 12/6/06 (archived) entry about RG, with a link to his 11/16/05 Free Times article on RG (The Rivers Edge...).

My opinion: Several posters here on the Gricar threads have previously pointed out numerous inaccuracies contained in that article. He also wrote a book (published last year) on his search for the killer of Amy Mihaljevic (an unsolved 1989 Ohio murder). Local LE criticized inaccurate information contained in that book (November 2006 archived entry - "Bay Village Issues Press Release").

He also said an investigator for his firm has turned up possible connections between Luna's death and the unexplained disappearance of another prosecutor, Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar, in 2005. Gricar also had been working on a heroin case at the time he vanished.


Great find pgal!!

Also noted in the article:
Quote
"Both Martino and Keisling, who suspect FBI involvement in Luna's death, are looking to the committee's senior Republican, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., as a key to breaking the case.

"If the pressure is put on them by Arlen Specter, they're going to move," Martino said, "and that's where the pressure has to stay." Quote

Here is where we can get help looking into RG's disappearance: Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa

Lets get our letter writing going and send them to Sen. Arlen Specter at his home office and at the Senate. We can ask that both cases be looked into but we really want help with DA Ray Gricars case. If the man has found connections to both cases maybe something can be found or done now.

Recently, someone applied for a driver's license using his name, and now the SSA wants more than $90,000 in benefits returned, although they have no proof the man is alive:

I saw that article in our local paper. Who terrible for her! I would go after the husband for being such an A$$ to her and make him pay it back. Letting men or women everywhere know that even if you run away your responsibilties at home are still waiting when you feel like showing your face again.

What ever happened to the marriage vowels? "to death do us part, in sickness and health, richer or poorer"?

That could also have been a scam person using a dead man's SS number, to start a new life. Have seen some scam shows where that was going on. I hope they find out that was what it was, and not the husband back from the grave.

The police should absolutely give Tony a copy of Ray's cell phone bill! Obviously they are hiding this information from the family! They certainly are not going to solve this case because they are too lazy. They should give the bill to Tony so that he can figure out what is what! People may disagree with me but I do not care!There could be calls on there to or from the mystery woman or any other host of people who are or could have been involved with Ray going missiing! Are the police EVER going to do ANYTHING to solve this case? Why do they just hinder the "investigation?"

Thought at the time of Ray Gricar's disappearance that the cohabitation with PF had been for a period of 18 months. Wouldn't that make the paying off of the PF mortgage & the cohabitation line up to November 2003?

"Murder By Injection
SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME is murder. The only question is guilt. District Attorney Ray Gricar said last week that he'd pursue the death penalty for a Boalsburg man accused of killing his 3-month-old son about a year ago. 'Because of the age of the child, it will be a capital case,' Gricar said after a district justice ruled there is enough evidence against 29-year-old Alejandro Mendez Vargas to send the case to trial. Vargas was charged with first- and third-degree murder last month in the death of his infant son Lucas, whom medical officials say died of shaken baby syndrome Sept. 2, 2002. " Quote

Police arrest 12 accused of dealing drugs in county
Pete Bosak

STATE COLLEGE — Police fanned out across Centre County early Thursday to round up 12 people accused of being street-level drug dealers.

The arrests stem from a yearlong investigation involving State College police, state police and Penn State police, focusing on street to mid-level cocaine and marijuana dealers operating in Centre County.

Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira said the roundup reflects law enforcement’s dedication to keeping these drugs off the streets.

“Anti-drug work continues whether we are conducting an investigation into large drug ring conspiracies or the guy who is selling on the street,” Madeira said. Those charged at the office of District Judge Jonathan Grine are:

Project Title: CENTRE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA ENHANCED 911 PROGRAM


Project Status: In Progress

Project Type: Deployment/Integration


Project Description: This project is the FY 1999 Centre Valley, Pennsylvania Earmark. Funding was obligated in FY 2000. The goal of this project is to implement technologies using geolocation localization methods in an enhanced 911 operation, and to evaluate the benefits of such technologies in improving overall emergency response. The project objectives supporting this goal are to determine the improvement in overall emergency response through time saved and other measures through the use of enhanced 911 emergency calls and determine their usefulness in improving overall emergency response. The motivation for this project is due to the urgency of the Federal Communications Commission mandate that enhanced 911 capability is established beginning in 2001. Cellular location-determining equipment shall be installed at key locations in Centre County, PA, using available commercial cellular towers and Centre County emergency communications towers, in such an arrangement that will provide overlapping coverage for where cellular communication is available. The incoming cellular 911 call will be identified as such and be routed to the public service answering point (PSAP) for Centre County in the municipal building, Bellefonte, PA. The location of the caller is obtained by matching the information from the mobile phone (mobile identification number) with a calculated position estimate that is transmitted to the database accessible over a network by the 911 Communications Center via the automatic location information (ALI) database. The cellular caller location information will be displayed on a combined Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD)/Geographic Information System (GIS) in relation to geographic landmarks and roadways as well as closest or most available emergency service resources. Some of these resources are fixed base sites as well as roving resources such as police cruisers, state patrol cars and ambulances. This system essentially provides a capability equivalent to that rapidly becoming available for 911 calls from fixed locations over landlines. This project will result in the integration of an E911 capability for Centre County, PA.

It is planned that this capability will be left in place indefinitely following the field test and evaluation. A report will document such improvements in emergency response as well as describe a developmental model for such future systems to be reviewed by other agencies as they develop their own plans for such systems.

Not believed any court house employees involved. They believe it was done by check routing numbers and are looking at someone in another area. Money was supposedly used for personal debt.

Of course we all know that it couldn't be someone in the courthouse. That is why, I never have any money. Money has legs. :shrug:

[tonyGricar]

That's it. I'm done. I've supported this board as a way to keep Ray's name somewhat out there, but not at this expense. There is not one relevant reason to post that photo. There was a readily available, mainstream media photo that could have been used.

Apparently anything on the web is fair game for your "investigation", but I will not be supporting the medium that condones this.

I hope your family doesn't have to be pulled into such a situation someday.

I gave no certain info, it's just when we changed from old forums to new, the old were left up for time for posters to retrieve posts, I would assume if they close they would do the same now so posters can get info and addresses they want to stay in touch with.

The PA Supreme Court agrees that Dauphin County DA Marsico has the authority to investigate violations of the 2004 slots law.
http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=19103327&BRD=2259&PAG=461&dept_id=455154&rfi=6

Marsico, last April, in regard to the Gricar case: The BPD and Centre County DA's office have done everything they could. "To have a colleague basically disappear from the face of this Earth is troubling. ... No resources should go to waste in a case like this." (Patriot News, linked above).

ANot yet, but I hope to have answers fairly soon. If you would, please post this question for me again next week, when I hope to have an answer. Thanks Politigal.

QWhy have Bellefonte Police never shown the surveillance video of Ray Gricar leaving the Courthouse Thurs evening 4/14/05?
Politigal, Arlington, TX 11/19/07

AHi Politigal, and thanks for your question and interest in the case. I believe the reason they never made the video public is because no one ever asked them for it. All it shows is Ray leaving, from what I'm told.
Pete Bosak 12/13/07

QWe keep coming back Pete... But the posts are fewer and fewer... And no new leads for a long long time.. I fear this has come to the end of the line... I do wish his daughter would and would have said more.... You have been there since the beginning----doesn't there seem to be something very strange since the very beginning? Are you still in touch with Patty and his nephew? If so...what are there feelings now? As I have said to you before when I visit Centre County-----people in high places I know just seem to accept he is gone and do not really want to discuss it.
redpeni, Clarion Co. 10/18/07

AHi redpeni, and thanks for keeping this alive. And yes, it most certainly has been strange to say the very least. But it's sad more than anything. Still, there are no new leads and nothing new to report. I still see Patty at the courthouse, but we don't talk much. She's still in pain over losing Ray, so I just don't bring it up. I talk to Tony Gricar every now and again, about the case, Penn State football, etc. But he too is at a loss. He's more frustrated than you can ever know, but he doesn't know what more to do. Believe me, Patty and Tony, and all of Ray's friends and family, want answers more than anything. The problem is, where do we find those answers?

Investigator combs files, book for clues
SEARCH FOR RAY GRICAR
FICTION

By Pete Bosak • pbosak@centredaily.com Since Bellefonte police Detective Matt Rickard became lead investigator in the disappearance of former Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar last year, he’s read and re-read boxes of case files, police reports, witness accounts and forensic analyses.

He’s reinterviewing anyone who knew Gricar, or may have some idea of what could have happened to him. He’s pondering whether there’s any significance to the disappearance in Gricar’s apparent interest in the case of an Ohio police chief who vanished in 1985. At least two of Gricar’s co-workers recall him talking about it a decade or more later.

FICTION OR CLUES?

"Key events in the disappearance
Pamela West, author of the book “20/20 Vision,” says the disappearance of former Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar has an eerie resemblance to a book she penned years ago. The top investigator

in the case

acknowledged the two are similar. “What does it

mean?” Bellefonte police Detective Matt Rickard said. “I

That could have helped when former District Attorney Ray Gricar disappeared, Madeira said.

“If there were a county detective at the time, that might have been the agency, that might have been the position that handled the case,” Madeira said. “It might not have gone to Bellefonte.”

“I’m not suggesting there would have been a different result,” Madeira said, but added: “I firmly believe that it is past time for us to have a county detective.”

Lawsuit filed against Marshall & Madeira

http://www.centredaily.com/news/local/story/1117996.html

Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira and his former assistant Lance Marshall are being sued by a victim of domestic violence who says Marshall sexually harassed her.

The suit claims this victim was one of many women toward whom Marshall made advances, and that Madeira was warned by a former Centre County commissioner, local law enforcement, and the county human resources department of his behavior.
