The Penn State Scandal Deepens Into 2005 Disappearance of District Attorney

One of the questions surrounding the sex-abuse case against Jerry Sandusky is why a former district attorney chose not to prosecute the then-Penn State assistant coach in 1998 after reports surfaced that he had inappropriate interactions with a boy.

In 2005, divers searched the Susquehanna River in Lewisburg, Pa., for Ray Gricar, who was a Centre County prosecutor.

The answer is unknowable because of an unsolved mystery: What happened to Ray Gricar, the Centre County, Pa., district attorney?

Gricar went missing in April 2005. The murky circumstances surrounding his disappearance — an abandoned car, a laptop recovered months later in a river without a hard drive, his body was never found — have spawned Web sites, television programs and conspiracy theories. More than six years later, the police still receive tips and reports of sightings. The police in central Pennsylvania continue to investigate even though Gricar’s daughter, Lara, successfully petitioned in July to have her father declared legally dead so the family could find some closure and begin dividing his estate.

Yet as the Sandusky investigation moves forward, questions will be asked anew about why Gricar did not pursue charges against him 13 years ago. A small but strident minority believes Gricar did not want to tackle a case that involved a hometown icon. Others who knew and worked with Gricar say he was a meticulous, independent and tough-minded prosecutor who was unbowed by Penn State, its football program and political pressure in general.

“No one got a bye with Ray,” said Anthony De Boef, who worked as an assistant district attorney under Gricar for five years. “He didn’t care who you were; he had a job to do.”

De Boef said Gricar did not share any information with him about the case in 1998, which involved Sandusky allegedly showering with an 11-year-old boy. Gricar, he said, reviewed the police reports in private including, presumably, notes or recordings of two conversations that the police heard between Sandusky and the boy’s mother. But Gricar had a reputation for thoroughness, and if he thought he had enough to charge Sandusky, he would have, De Boef and other lawyers said.

Still, the circumstances surrounding Gricar’s disappearance prompt many questions.

On April 15, 2005, Gricar, then 59, took the day off. At about 11:30 a.m., he called his girlfriend, Patricia Fornicola, to say he was taking a drive on Route 192. About 12 hours later, she reported him missing.

The next day, Gricar’s Mini Cooper was found in a parking lot in Lewisburg, about 50 miles from his home in Bellefonte. Gricar’s cellphone was in the car, but not his laptop, wallet or keys, which were never recovered. Months later, the laptop was found in the Susquehanna River without its hard drive, which was discovered later. It was too damaged to yield any information. On the fourth anniversary of his disappearance, investigators revealed that a search of his home computer yielded a history of Internet searches for phrases like “how to wreck a hard drive,” according to a report at the time in The Centre Daily Times.

When Gricar disappeared helicopters, dive teams and patrol cars were deployed, and the F.B.I. was brought in. Reports of Gricar turning up in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Maryland and other states proved to be dead ends.

So what happened? Friends and colleagues say Gricar was not the type to walk away. His bank accounts were not touched after he disappeared, he had no other sources of income and he had no major debts, said Robert Buehner Jr., a friend and the district attorney in Montour County. Though divorced twice, he seemed happy with his girlfriend and close with his daughter. Gricar had already announced that he was retiring at the end of his term.

“He was absolutely looking forward to his future,” Buehner said.

If Gricar committed suicide, Buehner added, he would have wanted the body to be found. Foul play is the next possible conclusion. By the nature of their jobs prosecuting criminals, district attorneys end up having many enemies. But no credible suspects have emerged.

“I don’t think you’ll find too many district attorneys who disappear,” said Ken Mains, a detective who works on cold cases in Lycoming County. “D. B. Cooper, Amelia Earhart, Jimmy Hoffa, until a body is found, there are going to be conspiracy theories.”

Strategist Pavlik: U.S. Stocks Can Withstand Europe

“Many investors are concerned about the impact of Europe’s debt crisis on the U.S. stock market. Just this past Wednesday, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index plunged 3.7 percent on Italian bond fears, just the latest in many fluctuations stemming from news out of the troubled eurozone.

 

But Bob Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners, says Europe won’t have much of an impact on the U.S. market beyond the short term.

 

Looking longer-term, “think about all the other countries that have defaulted on their sovereign debt and how much of a lasting impact that had on the worldwide economy,” he tells Yahoo.

 

“I think this is going to be the same situation. It’s just that we have a few more of them going on at the same time.”

 

That’s not to say that coming weakness in European economies doesn’t matter. “But I’m looking out three to five years down the road,” Pavlik says. “That’s how I’m investing my clients’ money.”

Ferguson: Obama Creating Italian-Like Debt Crisis

“President Barack Obama is priming an Italian-style debt crisis in the U.S by encouraging massive deficits with no regard for their economic consequences, says Harvard economic historian Niall Ferguson.

“What has been characteristic of this administration is that it has never attempted to arrive at anything resembling a credible plan to restore the finances of this country to balance,” Ferguson said at a question-and-answer session after delivering the Manhattan Institute’s Wriston Lecture.

“The last time the Congressional Budget Office tried to project fiscal policy on the basis of current policy, what it showed was that the United States would never again this century run a balanced budget, that it would run a deficit every year until the projections peter out in the 2o80s.”

Rental apartment construction on the rise

I haven’t spoken about the multifamily space in a little while, but it is still booming.

Read here:

Construction cranes are coming back on the scene after a stay in storage.

But their handlers are choosy, returning them for now to the lone sector of the commercial real estate market that is fertile ground: rental apartments.

Amid an arid new-development landscape in commercial real estate, the apartment market is blooming. Vacancy rates are falling, demand is surging and new supply is scant, letting landlords raise rents for seven straight quarters, says Ryan Severino, senior economist with Reis, a commercial real estate research firm.

“More people in the (rental apartment) industry are getting excited about new projects,” he said.

Besides tight supply, new construction is being driven by falling homeownership rates and growing numbers of people in their 20s and early 30s who are finally landing jobs and moving to their own place.

Rental apartment operator AvalonBay Communities (NYSE:AVB – News) has $1 billion in development projects under way, and notes that rental household formation has grown by over 1 million units the past 12 months.

AvalonBay broke ground in the third quarter on four projects on both coasts, at a cost near $210 million. Plus, $600 million in projects is starting this quarter, including in Manhattan where rental vacancy has dropped to the low single digit percentages, pushing rents up.

An additional $3 billion in the development pipeline should keep AvalonBay busy the next two or three years, President Timothy Naughton told analysts recently.

UDR (NYSE:UDR – News), another big apartment operator, has more than 2,500 units in development for an estimated $751 million. Management says it’s looking for more sites to buy.

Construction of rental housing is even starting in hard-hit Florida housing markets. Colonial Properties (NYSE:CLP – News), which focuses on multifamily apartments in the Sun Belt, began construction recently on a 232-unit apartment community in Orlando — Colonial Grand at Lake Mary — with completion set for late 2012.
