Just saw a documentary about his disappearance. It’s a tragic yet fascinating case. What is the general consensus on what happened to him? One other question I had would be regarding the river itself near Lewisburg. Have people actually drown in that section of the river? If so, where would a body actually end up?
That has been suggested, but I have never anyone show any real, substantive evidence for that theory or connection between Gricar's disappearance and the Sandusky case.
Frankly, I think the best evidence available points to either 1) suicide (which Gricar's family disputes, if I recall correctly) or 2) he was a voluntary "walk-away" - that is, someone who simply wanted to disappear and managed to make it happen. If you believe Wikipedia, there may also have been some connection to a biker gang that had a problem with Gricar.
https://www.centredaily.com/latest-news/article209528394.html Sunbury is also home to an inflatable fiber dam. While it generally isn’t installed until late April or mid-May, authorities say it was in place at the time Gricar disappeared. “If he got into those currents and made it down to the dam, he probably would have been chewed up,” Zaccagni said. “And if he made it past that, there are still more dams further down before he’d get to the Chesapeake.”
At least one person claims people that drown in the river are found quickly. This person claims to have written a blog for the Centre Daily Times for 5 years.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Unresolved...rou/document_reveals_new_clues_in_ray_gricar/ Most bodies that go into that branch of the Susquehanna ARE found. Two children drowned in Lewisburg in 2008, at a time when the river was as high or higher than it was in 2005. Their remains were found within 36 hours, and the search was no where near as extensive as the search in 2005.
I remember when the sandusky stuff first come out, there was some speculation that it involved some pretty powerful people who were involved somehow with the second mile. My guess is Gricar found some evidence against one or more of them and they burried him somewhere.
That's my guess as well but when you make a career out of prosecuting criminals,some are bound to have hard feelings.I always wondered my more prosecuters and judges didn't go
missing.
I had asked my uncle about this, who worked the Sandusky case and put the cuffs on him. His opinion was there is no tie to Ray’s death and Rays death was by suicide.
After reviewing everything, I don’t have a final conclusion. Although based on the evidence of his behavior in the days before (withdrawn, sleeping a lot, out of it). I think the most likely scenario is simply suicide. What makes this case a mystery is that they never found his body.
Sadly we may never know. If he did end up in the Susquehanna River, sometimes bodies are never found. It depends on the depth of the River at the time and the speed of the current.
