The Ray Gricar Case

This is the best article I have yet read on the mystery of the missing D.A., yet another morbid occurrence in Happy Valley. As I have said before, we are only seeing the tip of the ice burg. To quote:
In light of this intriguing data, skeptics may rightfully ask: why would a successful D.A. only eight months from retirement want to fake his own death? What would motivate him? Some in the media posit that Gricar had recently prosecuted a major drug dealer. Still, over the course of his career, Gricar never flinched from similar cases.

Or, had a more sinister message been delivered to Gricar—one with serious life-and-death ramifications? Namely, what if Gricar had uncovered incriminating evidence of such importance that it threatened the very existence of a nearby institution, as well as those employed there? Or, what if the repercussions stretched all the way to state, and even federal, government officials?
The invaluable source used for this article provided further insights. “I really believe that law enforcement hasn’t thoroughly investigated the Gricar case. Somebody in a position of power knows what happened, but they’re allowing it to remain a ‘botched investigation.’ When Stacey Parks Miller became D.A. in 2010, she commented on learning how much the public didn’t know about Gricar’s case. They’ve only been give a tip of the iceberg, and homicide seems the least likely scenario.”
The source attributes this undisclosed evidence to a troubling possibility. “Did Gricar disappear because he realized what happened to people like him that knew too much? They get killed. Maybe that’s the real message.” (Read entire article.)

All it takes for evil to exist is for good men to keep silent.

Lots more was going on there.
When I lived there in the 1990's, we had a judge convicted who promptly fled to Slovenia. One of the businessmen who testified against the judge had a suspicious fire in a minimall he owned.

The Mafia there was quite strong, and there was a lot of drug use in the area: my husband (a doc) always had a gun in the house and carried it in the car in case he was robbed.

At the same time, the Catholic bishop was using a PennState psychologist who was "gay friendly" to screen priests for the seminary, appointing and defending a gay friendly priest appointed to that university, while covering up abuse (they were "treated" and relased), and of course, the "reformers" were trying to destroy the beautiful churches under the guise of Vatican II.

True, July. Boinky, I moved there in 1998. We must have just missed each other. I remember how the controversy over the psychologist was raging when we moved there. That diocese was a mess of scandal.

Even up to this very minute, the Penn State locals are defending the College....talk about misplaced loyalty.
