Early life
<mask> was born on August 22, 1945, in Kokomo, Indiana, the son of Margaret and <mask>. <mask> attended Syracuse University, where he earned his bachelor's degree from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications in 1967. At Syracuse, he was a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity. He also worked at The Daily Orange and WAER radio station. After his graduation, he was drafted into the United States Army and served in the Vietnam War.He was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division in Cu Chi, where he was a reporter for the Armed Forces Network; he covered the division's participation in the invasion of Cambodia. <mask> won several Army journalism awards for his work and a Bronze Star for Meritorious Achievement. When the division was redeployed, he was reassigned to the military newspaper Stars and Stripes as a correspondent and photographer. Shortly after receiving an honorable discharge from the army in 1971, he began his broadcast journalism career as a reporter for WSYR-TV in Syracuse, New York. <mask> returned to academics in 1974, enrolling at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and earning his master's degree in 1975. Upon graduation <mask> moved to Florida, where he worked for two stations owned by the Washington Post Company. As an investigative reporter for WJXT in Jacksonville, his reports on local corruption led to several grand jury investigations and established his reputation.In 1977 he moved to WPLG-TV in Miami, where his work came to the attention of CBS News. CBS career
<mask> joined CBS News in 1980 as a reporter in its Northeast bureau, based out of New York City. The next year, he was named a correspondent and the network soon moved him to its
Southwest Bureau in Dallas, where he stayed until 1983. That year, <mask> returned to Florida after CBS reassigned him to its Miami bureau. He was soon making frequent visits to the Caribbean and Latin America, covering the civil war in El Salvador and the U.S. invasion of Grenada. In 1984, <mask> landed a job as a foreign correspondent at the CBS London bureau, where he traveled extensively to cover stories in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Many of his assignments involved international terrorism and sectarian violence, including the hijackings of TWA Flight 847 and Achille Lauro, the Rome and Vienna airport attacks of the Abu Nidal Organization, the Lebanese Civil War, and the violence in Northern Ireland.His report for the CBS Evening News on the assassination of Indira Gandhi won him an Emmy. In 1986, CBS News brought <mask> back to the United States to become a principal correspondent on a new magazine show called West 57th. He stayed in that position until the program was cancelled in the spring of 1989. That September, <mask> and Meredith Vieira, a West 57th colleague, joined 60 Minutes. In 1990, he became the first American journalist to be given extensive access to the contaminated grounds of the Chernobyl nuclear facility, and his story won an Emmy. After allegations of infidelity surfaced in the 1992 presidential election, then-Governor Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, gave an exclusive interview to <mask>. The interview was one of the defining moments in the election.<mask> continued to file groundbreaking reports for 60 Minutes. A 1992 segment which detailed a friendly fire incident in the Gulf War won him his first Peabody Award. Two of <mask>'s stories in 1994, a profile of Senator Bob Dole and an exposé on the Cuban government's quarantine policy for people infected with AIDS, won Emmy awards. In 2003, he and the rest of the 60 Minutes team were awarded Emmys for lifetime achievement. <mask> asked Clint Eastwood how many children he has while interviewing the highly secretive actor in 1997. When Eastwood responded "I have a few," <mask> broached the subject with a declarative question: "Seven kids with five women, right? "—actually a conservative estimate, but at the time an unprecedented statement.Eastwood did not answer and stared at <mask> in silence for 30 seconds. In May 2019, The Hollywood Reporter disclosed <mask> would retire from 60 Minutes on May 19, 2019, his 30th season on the show. Presidential interviews
<mask> has been corrected by Gallup.com on public opinion he cited while interviewing U.S. President Barack Obama on December 13, 2009. He stated in the interview that "Most Americans right now don't believe this war's worth fighting". He then questioned President Obama, about why he was conducting the war without public support. Gallup Editor in Chief Frank Newport challenged his statement and presented data, that indicated that Americans were split on the War in Afghanistan. In March 2009, <mask> asked Obama, who was laughing while discussing the recession, "Are you punch drunk?"Regarding the interview of Obama and Hillary Clinton on January 27, 2013, Conor Friedersdorf of The Atlantic argues that <mask>'s softball interview technique diminishes 60 Minutes. Peggy Noonan, in a column titled "So God Made a Fawner" in The Wall Street Journal, says that <mask>'s interview was as "soft as a sneaker full of puppy excrement." <mask> lives in New York City with his wife, Jennet Conant, who is a journalist and author. They have one son, John Conant <mask>, who, as of 2012, attends the Juilliard School. Extramarital affair
In 2015, the National Enquirer broke news of an affair involving <mask> and New York City attorney, Lisan Goines, a woman 28 years his junior. <mask> later admitted to and apologized for the affair publicly. Popular culture

The Selection series, which is what <mask> is best known for, is a series of five young adult novels set in the fictional country of Illéa, formally North and Central America. The books are about a competition known as The Selection, where citizens of Illéa compete for the current king's heir in marriage. The first three books are from the point of view of America Singer, joining the selection after bribery from her mother, who doesn't know she is in love with Aspen, who is a caste lower than her. The two sequels, The Heir and The Crown are written from the point of view of Princess Eadlyn, the firstborn daughter of Prince Maxon and Lady America Singer. Plot and setting

Their society is divided into eight castes, the lowest and poorest being Eight and royalty One.America is a Five and is in a secret relationship with a Six named Aspen Leger, which they kept hidden by sneaking out at night for dates in her backyard tree house. When America and Aspen grow apart because Aspen feels like he will never be able to provide for her, he tells her to join the Selection, a competition designed to pick a woman to become the future wife of Prince Maxon and take on the role of Queen of Illea. Although America is indifferent to the Prince and the Selection, she is pushed by her mother and Aspen's words to apply. Miraculously, she gets in and is sent to the palace, where she slowly falls for the prince and begins to learn that there are rebels who want change in the country. Aspen is drafted for the army and sent to be a guard at the palace which confuses America as her relationship with Maxon develops. Her friendship with Maxon slowly grows into affection until one day when one of the Selected girls, a friend of America, is caned and thrown out publicly for being found kissing one of the guards. America becomes enraged at the way things are run and realises what being the princess would entail, and takes it out on Maxon, becoming distant from him.As other girls are slowly eliminated from the Selection, America and Maxon slowly get closer again and apologize to each other during a rebel attack at the palace while in hiding together. Their relationship goes through many ups and downs, until Maxon sends everyone in the Selection home except for America and another girl named Kriss. Maxon tells America he loves her but finds out about her previous relationship to Aspen which she had been hiding from him. He becomes angry and takes back the known engagement. The next morning a rebel attack happens. Maxon is shot and apologizes to America, saying he does not care if she breaks his heart a thousand times, he still wants her and no one else. The King and Queen are killed by the rebels, leaving Maxon to become the King.He proposes to America and he reveals he will eliminate the castes. The next two books occur twenty years later, where Maxon and America now have four children, the oldest of which is Princess Eadlyn, the current heir to the throne.

On 12 January 2012 a one-star review of <mask>' book, The Selection, was posted on the book reviewing site Goodreads, and on the reviewer's blog. Later on the same day, <mask> <mask>' literary agent, Elana Roth, posted a series of derogatory tweets on the social networking site Twitter. In a conversation that <mask> and Roth believed was private—but was, in fact, public—Roth called the reviewer names and both Roth and <mask> discussed how best to bump the negative review down and boost positive reviews by manipulating the ranking system themselves. The controversy sparked an article by Publishers Weekly speaking out against this practice and raised an outcry from multiple reviewers, bloggers, and publications against the cyber-bullying of non-professional reviewers by authors and agents.

title: Lewis Morris (governor)

texts:
<mask> (October 15, 1671May 21, 1746), chief justice of New York and British governor of New Jersey, was the first lord of the manor of Morrisania in New York City (in what is now  the Bronx). Biography
Born on the estate of his parents, <mask> (originally from Monmouthshire, Wales) and Sarah (Pole) <mask> in 1671, this <mask> was the first in a lengthy string of men with the same name to  inherit the prominent estate of Morrisania in the southwest section of today's Bronx. Richard and Sarah moved their estate from Barbados to the Bronx after buying the estate from Samuel Edsall in 1670 when it was still known as Broncksland. As the name suggests, Broncksland was the original settlement of Jonas Bronck and his wife, for whom the borough is named. In the fall of 1672, both Richard and Sarah died, leaving only the infant <mask>, barely a year old, as the lord of the manor. Although the manor was left in the trust of five prominent Westchester citizens until <mask> could rightfully inherit the estate, Matthias Nicoll, secretary of the colony, sent word to Colonel <mask>, the infant's uncle in Barbados. Col. <mask> immediately made plans to move to Morrisania to care for his young nephew and his nephew's estate, which had been somewhat embezzled.Col. <mask> made great pains to secure his nephew's lost property, including a few slaves that had been captured and resold. He was even successful in petitioning for an additional land grant with the help of family friend, Walter Webley. When the childless Col. <mask> and his wife, Mary, died, the now fully-grown <mask> inherited the estate in 1691. Career

After the late 1690s the government of East and West Jersey became increasingly dysfunctional. This ultimately resulted in the surrender by the Proprietors of East Jersey and those of West Jersey of the right of government to Queen Anne. Anne's government united the two colonies as the Province of New Jersey, a royal colony, establishing a new system of government.On July 29, 1703, in the instructions to Governor Viscount Cornbury <mask> was appointed to the New Jersey Provincial Council, and would serve, with several suspensions, through the administrations of seven governors.

Van Dam. Although the case was decided in favor of Gov. Cosby, <mask> wrote the minority opinion, which infuriated Cosby. Cosby demanded the written opinion from <mask>. <mask> complied with the Governor, but also had the opinion printed for public distribution, along with an explanatory letter stating,

This even further angered Cosby, who removed <mask> from the court. His dismissal led directly to the John Peter Zenger trial affirming freedom of speech in the United States. Personal life

title: Pleasant Tackitt

texts:
<mask> (or Tackett) (April 22, 1803 – February 7, 1886) (sometimes rendered as <mask>, but no official documents support this name) was a 19th-century politician, pioneer Methodist minister, stockman, teacher, farmer, Indian fighter, and Confederate officer. Tackitt was a key figure in the history of Arkansas and North Texas, including a state representative in the Arkansas General Assembly. Because of his battles with Indians in Texas, Tackitt became known as "the Fighting Parson". Early life
Tackitt was born in Henry County, Kentucky, to Virginian <mask> and Mary Elizabeth Bashum, and was one of seven children. The Missouri Methodist Conference assigned <mask> as missionary to the Western Cherokees in Arkansas in 1829. He was a circuit rider for two years and then assigned to mission schools. He married Kezia Frances Bruton on August 20, 1830, in Pope County, Arkansas.He served one term in the Arkansas General Assembly before joining a Texas-bound caravan in the autumn of 1853. Life in Texas
<mask> settled first in the spring of 1854, two years before Parker County was organized, on Walnut Creek, about four miles west of Springtown, Texas. He founded Goshen Church, and helped clear ground for the adjoining cemetery after providing shelter for his family. He preached his first Texas sermon in the cabin home of Hezekiah Culwell, and regularly held services at Goshen, Springtown, and Ash Creek, where he helped build churches. In 1857, he organized the First United Methodist Church of Weatherford, Texas. Then, the Texas Methodist Conference transferred <mask> to Fort Belknap, Texas, to spread the gospel to friendly Indians and white settlers. He organized churches in Palo Pinto, Shackelford, and Young Counties, including one at Graham, Texas.Tackitt at one time had 143 appointments requiring 1,200 miles of travel to visit all. Tackitt Mountain in Young County was named for him in memory of the skirmish there in 1860 between the Tackitt family and a band of Indians led by a Comanche known to the settlers as Piny Chummy (or Pine-o-Channa). During the American Civil War, Tackitt served as chief justice and postmaster in Young County and as enrolling officer in the Confederate States Army. Final years
An often-told story emphasizes the major scares the Tackitts endured at their Fish Creek home south of Ft. Belknap. One of the family's cows came home with an arrow protruding from her back. <mask> and his three oldest sons, James, Lycurgus and George, armed themselves and went to bring home the remainder of their herd. They were returning from the Tackitt Mountain area with the animals when 10 Indians rose from a ravine ambush.When the arrows and bullets ceased, four attackers lay dead, and James had a dangerous arrow point lodged in his skull and <mask> was suffering from a point that pierced one foot. Both suffered great pain, but survived. Frontier life had tense episodes, but all <mask>'s children lived long lives, mostly into their 80s. His brother, Mann Darius <mask>, was not so lucky. He was slain by a pillaging Indian band on his ranch in Jack County. <mask> returned to Parker County in the last years of his life and is buried in Goshen Cemetery beside his wife. Frontier life
According to a 1925 article in Frontier Times magazine, "I wish now to record one of the best Indian fights ever fought on our northern frontier by citizens against Indians.This fight like the major part of our frontier life and battles with Indians, has never been recorded in history, but by all means ought to have been. The fight was by Rev. <mask> and his three young sons - <mask>, 22 years old, L. L.<mask>, 20, and <mask>, 16. Rev. Tackitt was armed with a rifle and dragoon six-shooter; <mask> had a rifle and Navy six-shooter, and L. L. Tackitt had a double-barreled shot gun and Navy six-shooter. The first Indian raid into Young county after they were moved to the Indian territory was in January 1860. On the evening of January 13, one of the Tackitt's milk cows came home with an arrow sticking in her back.Mrs. Tackitt, after discovering the arrow when she went to milk, went to the house and reported the fact. It was then late in the evening. Rev. Tackitt and the three older boys above named made ready to start the next morning on foot to see if they could find the Indians and also learn what they had done with other stock. There had been a deep snow and sleet on the ground for a week or 10 days. The Tackitts then lived on Fish Creek in Young County. Early on the morning of the 14th about sunrise, the Rev.Tackitt and the three boys left home in pursuit of the Indians; they took the back trail of the cows and after having gone some two miles, they came to where the Indians had killed one of their cows and had… He and George both rain to the trees and in suddenly stopping behind the trees they both slipped on the snow and fell. Jim and Rev. <mask> by this time were slightly wounded. The Indians seeing L. L. and George fall when they ran to the trees evidently thought they were killed and instantly dropped their bows and arrows in the branch and made a sudden rush. Children

title: Li Jinquan

texts:
<mask>n (died circa 950) was a military general during the Five Dynasties period, serving successively the Jin–Later Tang, Later Jin, and Southern Tang dynasties. He was of Tuyuhun ethnicity. <mask> is best known for his 940 revolt against the Later Jin, after which he fled to Southern Tang. Later Jin demolished the Southern Tang force sent to receive him, and from this point on Southern Tang never dared to encroach on Central Plains again. Early life
<mask>n was born in the 880s during the Tang dynasty. Originally a menial servant of the Shatuo general <mask>, <mask>n was described as fearless and skilled in mounted archery. As <mask> served the warlords <mask> and his son <mask>u, <mask>n also fought in battles and won military merits.The Shatuo state, known as Jin after the Tang's collapse in 907, became Later Tang in 923. Under Later Tang
After <mask> became Later Tang's emperor in 926, he appointed <mask>quan military commissioner of Longwu (), seated in Jing Prefecture in the western part of the empire. <mask>n's governance was greedy and oppressive. Following his recall to the capital Luoyang, he presented dozens of horses to <mask> (then renamed <mask>) as a gift, followed by another herd a few days later. This shocked the emperor, who questioned him: "You must suffer from a plentitude of horses. Why else would you offer so many? Moreover, you serve at Jing Prefecture.How would you characterize conditions there? Surely, you do more than merely trade in horses?" <mask>n was too ashamed to reply. <mask>n later governed Henghai (), seated in Cang Prefecture in the northeast. He was again recalled to the capital to command the "Right Guard" of the imperial guards at some point. Under Later Jin
Later Jin replaced Later Tang in 936, and <mask>n retained his position with the imperial guards. On 3 September 937, Wang Hui (), director for defense reserves at An Prefecture, assassinated Zhou Gui (), military commissioner of Anyuan ().Anyuan, seated in An Prefecture, was in the southern part of the empire bordering Wu to the southeast. Later Jin's emperor Shi Jingtang, busily fighting the rebellion of Fan Yanguang in the north, could not afford to battle on two fronts. Therefore, he issued a "letter-on-arrow" against slaughtering a single person in Anyuan, while also promising Wang Hui governorship of Tang Prefecture if he surrendered. He then sent <mask>n with a 1000-man cavalry to Anyuan to induce Wang Hui's surrender, and before <mask>'s departure, admonished him: "Do not compromise my credibility!". Indeed, Wang was about to flee to Wu, but he was killed by a subordinate before <mask>n arrived in An Prefecture. <mask> arrested hundreds of mutineers and delivered them back to the capital. As Wang Hui had looted An Prefecture for 3 days, many of his officers acquired large numbers of properties.<mask>n then executed dozens of such officers to appropriate their wealth for himself. One such officer, Wu Kehe (), cried out before his execution: "If you, commander, contravene
imperial rescripts to kill surrendering soldiers, then you may not escape peril yourself!" Even though Shi Jingtang heard about <mask>'s disobedience, he could not do anything. Instead, to appease <mask>, he appointed him military commissioner of Anyuan on 11 October 937. In Anyuan, <mask>n entrusted a greedy and immoral man named Hu Hanyun () with the day-to-day operations of the military and government. After Shi Jingtang heard of Hu Hanyun's excesses, he sent an honest administrator named Jia Renzhao () to Anyuan to replace Hu. Hu was terrified, so he persuaded <mask>n to submit a memorial which claimed that Hu was ill and could not be recalled back to the capital.Pang <mask> (), who hailed from the same hometown as <mask>n, repeated advised <mask> to appoint Jia Renzhao. Hu Hanyun then sent soldiers to massacre Pang <mask>'s entire family. He also poisoned Jia Renzhao to death. Because Hu Hanyun colluded with the flatterer Zhang Wei (), <mask>n knew nothing of his wrongdoings and trusted him more than ever. In summer of 940, Shi Jingtang decided to replace <mask>n with Ma Quanjie (). Knowing Jia Renzhao's sons would file court complaints for their father's murder, Hu Hanyun warned <mask>n of the possible punishment he would also face in the capital: "Formerly, the Son of Heaven summoned me, but you violated imperial orders by refusing to relieve me." <mask>n then prepared to rebel.Having heard the news, on 29 June 940, Shi Jingtang named Ma Quanjie the overall commander of the punitive force against <mask>n. The soldiers of this force came from 12 prefectures. At that time, Wu had already been replaced by Southern Tang, and <mask>n sent Zhang Wei to Southern Tang to offer his surrender. Southern Tang's emperor <mask> then commissioned a 3000-man force under general <mask> () and Duan Chugong () to receive <mask>n from E Prefecture. <mask>n and his hundreds of soldiers surrendered without a problem, and <mask> got hold of his women and wealth as well. Feeling overconfident, <mask> disobeyed <mask>'s orders and plundered An Prefecture, acquiring items of "gold and silk too numerous to count". When the Southern Tang army finally retreated, they were caught up by the Later Jin army.In the bloody two-day battle that followed, Duan Chugong was killed, while <mask> was captured. Ma Quanjie executed <mask> and thousands of Southern Tang soldiers. <mask>n managed to escape and it was said once he entered Southern Tang territory, he looked north and shed tears. He received a rather cool reception in Southern Tang. Under Southern Tang
Under Southern Tang, <mask>n served as the commander general of Tianwei () and military commissioner of Zhenhai () seated in Run Prefecture. In 947, Later Han succeeded Later Jin (with a short period of Liao dynasty interregnum). In 948, general <mask> (who was under Ma Quanjie's command in 940) rebelled against Later Han in its western parts of the empire and requested help from Southern Tang.General <mask> () volunteered to lead an expeditionary force, but Southern Tang's emperor <mask> considered <mask>n more prestigious, so <mask>n was named the overall commander of the northern expedition army with <mask> assisting him. <mask>n considered <mask>'s forces too far to make any coordinated efforts, and as a result the deployment was permanently postponed, even as reports indicated only hundreds of weak Later Han soldiers guarding the northern garrisons. When other generals suggested advancing, <mask>n said, "Whoever mentions advancing will be executed!" It turned out that there was indeed an ambush by Later Han, and when the other generals learned of this that evening, they began to respect <mask>n. A month later, <mask>n was recalled and sent to Hai Prefecture. Subsequently he received other major posts, until his death in 950 in the Southern Tang capital of Jinling. Notes and references

The hard drive was found in a different location of the river than the laptop was found, which indicated that the hard drive was removed before the laptop was tossed into the river. No further trace of Gricar has been found. Early life and career
<mask> was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and grew up in the city's Collinwood neighborhood. He attended high school at the Gilmour Academy, a prestigious Catholic school in Gates Mills, and enrolled at the University of Dayton (UD), where he became interested in studying law after working as an intern for the prosecutor's office. After graduating, Gricar moved back to Cleveland to study law at Case Western Reserve University School of Law. He obtained his Juris Doctor and subsequently took a job as a prosecutor for Cuyahoga County, specializing in prosecuting cases of rape and murder.In 1980, Gricar moved to State College, Pennsylvania, where his wife had taken a job at Pennsylvania State University (or Penn State). He opted to become a stay-at-home dad to his young daughter following the move. However, Centre County District Attorney David E. Grine offered Gricar an assistant position, which he accepted. In 1985, the incumbent district attorney, Robert Mix (Grine's successor), chose not to run for re-election, and Gricar ran for the open position. He won the election by a margin of 600 votes. Gricar's office was part-time when he was elected, and he successfully campaigned to make it full-time in 1996. He was re-elected in 1989, 1993, 1997, and 2001.During his tenure, in 1998, Gricar declined to press charges against longtime Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky following allegations of child sexual abuse; Sandusky was charged and convicted of multiple counts of sexual abuse thirteen years later. In 2004, Gricar announced he would not run for re-election and would retire from practicing law altogether in December 2005, shortly after his 60th birthday. Personal life
Gricar met Barbara Gray during his undergraduate study at UD. She moved to Cleveland with him after graduation and they married in 1969. They adopted a baby girl, Lara, in 1978. <mask> and <mask> divorced in 1991; <mask> married again in 1996, but divorced in 2001. In 2002 or 2003, Gricar moved in with his girlfriend Patty Fornicola, an employee of the Centre County District Attorney's office.He was living with Fornicola in her childhood home in Bellefonte at the time of his disappearance. Gricar's older brother Roy disappeared from his West Chester, Ohio, home in May 1996. His body was found a week later in the Great Miami River; authorities ruled his death a suicide. Disappearance
At 11:30 a.m. (EDT) on April 15, 2005, Gricar called Fornicola to inform her that he was driving through the Brush Valley area northeast of Centre Hall. Gricar failed to return home, and late that evening, Fornicola reported him missing. The following day, investigators identified Gricar's red Mini Cooper in the parking lot of an antique store in Lewisburg. The car contained his county-issued cell phone but not his laptop computer, keys, or wallet.Investigators identified no signs of foul play. Police and family members noted that the location of the vehicle, adjacent to two bridges over the Susquehanna River, bore some similarities to the location of the vehicle of Gricar's older brother Roy when he committed suicide in 1996. In the days following the discovery of Gricar's vehicle, authorities searched the river and its banks but found no sign of him. Police also noted that a sniffer dog's behavior around where Gricar's car was found suggested that he might have gotten into another vehicle with someone else. Pennsylvania authorities asked the FBI to analyze Gricar's bank accounts, credit card records, and cell phone records, but found no clues as to where he may have been. On July 30, fishermen discovered Gricar's county-issued laptop in the Susquehanna River beneath a bridge between Lewisburg and Milton, but its hard drive was missing. Divers searched the area of the river near where it was found over the next several days, but found nothing else.Two months later, someone recovered a hard drive on the banks of the Susquehanna River about  from the location of the laptop, and investigators hypothesized that it had come from his computer; however, it was badly damaged, and analysis by the FBI, the U.S. Secret Service, and the data-recovery firm Kroll Ontrack failed to recover anything from it. In April 2009, Bellefonte police revealed that before Gricar's disappearance, someone had used the home computer at the residence he shared with Fornicola to perform internet searches on topics such as "how to wreck a hard drive", "how to fry a hard drive" and "water damage to a notebook computer". In June 2011, Gricar's daughter Lara, who was trustee of his estate, petitioned Centre County to declare him dead. County President Judge David E. Grine declared him "dead in absentia" on July 25, 2011. The following day, police in Utah arrested on a misdemeanor charge a man resembling Gricar, who refused to reveal his identity. This "John Doe" resembled Gricar in height and weight, lips, and even some wrinkles, and the similarities led to speculation that Gricar had been found. Centre County authorities sent copies of Gricar's fingerprints to Utah, but they did not match.Authorities eventually identified the man. Theories
There are three main theories as to what happened to Gricar. The primary theory is he committed suicide just as his brother had done, something supported by the similarities between the two cases. Police working on the case believed this theory to be most likely, although his family did not believe this. Although Gricar was a poor swimmer, he had no medical history of depression or of suicidal thoughts. He was also reportedly looking forward to his upcoming retirement. The second theory is foul play.Early on it was suggested that <mask>'s disappearance might be linked to the unsolved death of Jonathan Luna, an Assistant U.S. Attorney who was found dead in a Lancaster County creek in December 2003. Gricar had recently been involved in a police operation busting a heroin dealing ring, and the criminals concerned were investigated for any links to his disappearance, but none were found. Suggestions were also made that Gricar's decision to decline to prosecute Sandusky for alleged child sexual abuse might be linked to his disappearance. Gricar's own family came under suspicion: both his girlfriend and his stepdaughter were asked to take polygraphs by the police, which they both passed. The third theory is that Gricar wished to start a new life and therefore engineered his disappearance. He allegedly expressed interest in the case of a Cleveland police chief who had disappeared in order to start a new life. Multiple sightings of Gricar were reported after his disappearance, most notably in a bar in Wilkes-Barre, where both the bartender and an off-duty police officer claimed to have seen him watching a baseball game.It has also been suggested that Gricar may have taken off to central Europe; he was semi-fluent in Russian and fluent in Slovenian. He had relatives in Slovenia and had made trips to this region of the world in the past. In popular culture
Gricar's disappearance was the subject of television documentary programs, including episodes of Haunting Evidence on Court TV in June 2006, Disappeared on Investigation Discovery in February 2011,  news magazine Dateline NBC in December 2011, and an episode of Crime Junkie podcast in January 2020. An episode of the drama Without a Trace on CBS referred to the case. See also
