Police: No Link Between Long-Missing DA, Sandusky

Since the Jerry Sandusky allegations began to break nearly six days ago there have been many questions – mostly unanswered. 

One question that conspiracy theorists alike have had regards the 1998 investigation into Sandusky and the subsequent disappearance of former District Attorney Ray Gricar.

Detective Matthew Rickard of the Bellefonte police department has told the Associated Press that he knows of no link between Gricar’s 2005 disappearance and the investigation into Jerry Sandusky.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — The man investigating the 2005 disappearance of a central Pennsylvania prosecutor doesn’t believe it is linked to the prosecutor’s 1998 decision to not file child-sex charges against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

Still, Bellefonte police Det. Matthew Rickard tells The Associated Press he’ll review how Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar (GREE’-kar) handled the 1998 allegations — just to be thorough.

With the case back in the spotlight because of the Penn State child sex-abuse scandal, Rickard says he knows of nothing linking Gricar’s April 2005 disappearance to the prosecutor’s earlier investigation of Sandusky. Sandusky is charged by state prosecutors with molesting the alleged 1998 victim and seven other boys.

Earlier this year, a judge declared Gricar dead, at the request of Gricar’s daughter.
