Did District Attorney in Sandusky Sex Scandal Disappear After Air-tight 2nd Case Came to Light?

I'm tired of reading speculation (here and here) about why District Attorney, Ray Gricar failed to prosecute the case against child rapist Jerry Sandusky in 1998.  That thread of discussion misses the point.  Gricar's 2005  disappearance seems to have coincided with the emergence of a much stronger case against Sandusky.  For the first time, Gricar would have had  something nearly unheard of in a child molestation case -- a credible eyewitness.  Montour County D.A. Robert Buehner Jr, a friend of Gricar, explained  the District Attorney's reasoning in 1998, in an article entitled  D.A. Missing Declared Dead Who Likely Would Have Pursued Sandusky Prosecution:

Ray would have been "extremely cautious" based on a reasonable liklihood of conviction. "You don't want to go after someone high profile unless you have a compelling case," Buehner told the Patriot-News.

Finally, law enforcement officials have a clearer picture of what was at stake -- the reputation of a world-renowned coach intertwined with the reputation of one of the most powerful institutions in the State of Pennsylvania, and the hundreds of millions of dollars in football revenue, which could have been at risk should scandal overtake the University's football program.  In the most recent year for which data was available, Penn State generated $116.1 million in revenue from sports.

But will the justice system have the will to pursue the mysterious disappearance of Gricar to wherever it may lead?
