Did Sandusky Cover-up Involve Murder?

Charges dropped against tanning addict

Questions surrounding the disappearance of Pennsylvania district attorney Ray Gricar, who refused to prosecute Jerry Sandusky for child molestation in 1998, have been  gaining traction. It may be for the same reason that a woman was arrested several weeks ago for bringing her five year old daughter into a tanning salon.   The real reason police picked up Patricia Krentcil on child endangerment charges was not because  law enforcement officers are in the habit of filing arrest warrants based on the playful chatter of a five year old.  It was rather because the child's 44 year old mother's leathery-browned skin gave her the appearance of someone over 80.  My point here, is that had the blond, blue-eyed woman not been a tanning addict with a shocking appearance, no one would have jumped to the unsavory (and apparently false) conclusions that she was shoving the fair-complexioned child into tanning booths.    


As for Gricar's March 2005 disappearance, had the public not been exposed this week to a level of moral depravity on the part of Penn State officials that leaves one gasping for air, questions would not be popping up all over the place as to whether the missing district attorney had been murdered.  The motive would have been to stop him from re-opening the Jerry Sandusky case. 

Gricar's jurisdiction had encompassed Penn State University.  He vanished shortly after learning that an eye-witness to Sandusky's rape of one child, had  come forth with evidence that might allow him to re-open the case.  Gricar's red mini coop was found parked at an area shopping mall.  Sometime later the county-issued laptop was fished out of the Susquehanna River, in the same vicinity as the missing car.  The computer hard drive turned up three months later in the same river, but water damage had made whatever data it contained irretrievable.

 Newly discovered emails reveal that football coach Joe Paterno may have initiated a cover-up that the University's President, Graham Spanier and vice-President Gary Schultz, carried out. These university administrators had lied to the grand jury about their  involvement in suppressing an investigation into Sandusky's behavior.  None of them showed any concern whatsoever for the fate of children that Sandusky would continue to molest.

The cult-like fanaticism of Joe Paterno's supporters, who rioted upon learning that the University's Board of Trustees had fired their beloved "JoePa,"coupled with the $116 million that the University stood to lose were the sports program to be shut down , offered all the incentive any depraved person might need for murder. What the Penn State scandal needs just now is a special prosecutor, to sort things out and give us all closure.
