Gricar letter surfaces; criticizes Corbett

The Sandusky scandal has also brought back a long running Centre County mystery; what happened to former district attorney Ray Gricar.

Gricar investigated one of the early allegations against Jerry Sandusky.  That was several years before Gricar disappeared.

The new link is in this 1998 letter from Gricar to then attorney, now Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett.

Gricar, in a polite, but clearly with angry tones, questions Corbett's involvement in an ethnic intimidation case on the Penn State campus.

Corbett was an attorney for one of the defendants.  The letter shows Gricar was upset about Corbett being involved in a high profile case, while he also served as the chairman of Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.

The Sandusky scandal has raised new theories about what happened to Gricar.  Bellefonte Police Chief Shawn Weaver says the attention on Sandusky has resulted in renewed interest Gricar’s case.  He also admits there's very little new information on Gricar’s disappearance.

NBC’s “Dateline” program plans to air an update on the Gricar case.
