Gricar didn’t bring charges in 1998 because there probably wasn’t enough evidence to do so.
It’s not reasonable to think that those post-1998 accounts reached Gricar or Corbett. They didn’t escape the mountains of State College and that was the problem!
What is the schizophrenic patrol at newslanc suggesting this time? That Penn State had Gricar killed and that Corbett is afraid of them?
EDITOR: 1) The story continued to evolve and by 2005 more reports would have reached Ray Gricar, the county district attorney. Gricar would have wanted to turn the investigation over to the state attorneygeneral. Such an investigation by necessity would need to be carried out on the state level.
With so explosive a matter, Gricar would likely have communicated directly with the attorney general, Tom Corbett, or one of his top aides. although, given the explosive natur of the matter, the latter is far less likely.
2) On the fateful day Gricar went to meet with someone. Like Jimmy Hoffa and Jonathon Luna, he never returned. His lap top was found later in the river…the hard drive removed. Someone almost certainly killed him, and it likely had to do with the Sandusky scandal.
3) Certainly by 2005 a county district attorney missing under mysterious and apparently sinister circumstances should have triggered an investigation by the state. We would bet a thousand dollars to one that reports of the Jerry Sandusky sex scandal had already long reach Harrisburg. That is why NewsLanc is asking “What did Tom Corbett know and what did he do about it?” We are not accusing Governor Corbett of complicity in a murder but do suspect he may have been part of the sex scandal cover up. And who knows what information leaked from the A. G. office and led to Gricar’s death? Also why should we rule out any person of interest just because of his or her high position.
A disgraceful situation was allowed to continue for over a decade, despite on going complaints. The man in charge of the sex scandal investigation was apparently murdered. The person who he would have made aware of the scandal was the attorney general.
NewsLanc is encouraging the national media to turn its attention from Coach Joe Paterno to what the authorities knew, what they did or did not do with the information, and the murder of Gricar.
We think murder is also a serious crime.
“What did Tom Corbett know and what did he do about it?” Stay tuned!
