Unsolved Disappearance of Ex-DA Ray Gricar Explored in 'Dateline: Secrets Uncovered'

Gricar, who controversially did not prosecute convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky in 1998, disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 2005.

Ray Gricar, the district attorney of Centre County, Pennsylvania, from 1985 until 2005, mysteriously disappeared in 2005.
Gricar had controversially decided not to prosecute Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky in 1998, despite allegations of child sexual abuse.
Sandusky was later charged and convicted in 2011 for multiple counts of sexual abuse of young boys, and is currently serving a 60-year sentence.
Three main theories exist regarding Gricar's disappearance: suicide, foul play possibly linked to the Sandusky case or another case, or that he orchestrated his own disappearance to start a new life.
Gricar was declared 'dead in absentia' in 2011, but his case remains unsolved.
