I realize this. I will be very specific. I was trying to emphasize WHY Corbett would have been interested in knowing the facts surrounding Gricar's disappearance which would have given Corbett knowledge in 2005 about Sandusky's crime from 1998.
I realize that. Ditto above response.
In 2005, investigators in Gricar's case would have told AG Corbett about Gricar's knowledge of Sandusky's crime. It had to be considered as a factor in Gricar's disappearance.

Until late 2010, the AG's Office, Corbett, had no idea about 1998, Victim 6, or Gricar. Nobody, including me, was looking at any cases RFG
did not prosecute. The BPD had no idea about 1998. This thing popped up when they started looking at activities on campus.
Maybe it came out in the SPM review panel of Gricar; I don't know.
That is a possibility, however.
Okay, on the board; we're in agreement that it wouldn't be a board coverup, I take it?
I certainly hope not. I hope an investigation into Centre County's CPS occurs next to verify that they didn't refuse to act/report to the DA's office Sandusky's victims' reports. (Several years ago, The Dept of Justice actually took over control of CPS in Washington County because of extreme corruption. I have heard that two other county CPS offices may also be investigated by that federal agency.)
The only involvement with the DA's Office was 1998, and there is no record of it. They couldn't forward any files because there were not any files; that was not unusual. There is no way that anyone could have known prior to discovering the file, unless someone remembered it and told them.
Even if someone did, there was no focus on it in 2005-10. Everyone
knew (well, they thought they knew) what a hard hitting DA Gricar was. If he didn't file charges, there would be a good reason; everybody thought this. That was the general impression of Ray Gricar; that was
my impression of Ray Gricar. Heck, that was Schreffler's impression of Ray Gricar.
Corbett didn't know about 1998 until 2010; Madeira didn't know about it until 2011. The Bellefonte Police Department didn't know about it until at least 2010. I didn't know about it until 2011.
I still think RFG's decision in 1998 was just bad judgment, exceptionally, horrifically, terrible judgment. Had Sandusky not been indicted, we wouldn't have known about it at all.
