More than two months after his disappearance, the family of Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar is still coming to terms with missing their loved one.

Gricar's nephew, Tony Gricar, said in an interview Monday that he and other family members are having a very difficult time digesting two popular theories being investigated by police -- that Gricar may have committed suicide or that he ran away.

"He was looking forward to retirement," Tony Gricar said. "Why would he just up and quit?"

If Gricar had committed suicide, Tony Gricar said, he would have most likely jumped into a river.

"He should have turned up by now," he said, adding that Ray Gricar had planned to travel to Ohio for his nephew's graduation.

Gricar's live-in girlfriend Patty Fornicola said that while it is still very difficult, she is coping with the disappearance.

"I have my moments," she said. "... Fortunately I have a very good support system."

Gricar's medical records showed no history of depression or other mental illnesses, or any other factors indicating suicide.

Fornicola said she did not know whether Gricar had been depressed.

"The only thing I know for a fact was that he was tired to the point that I actually brought it up in conversation," she said. "If you know Ray, he's not the type to tell you no matter how close you are."

In hopes of helping police with the now cold investigation, Gricar's family recently created www.raygricar.com, a Web site that includes photos of the missing district attorney and a page to provide anonymous tips or words of support.

"Some people out there are hesitant to talk to police if they have tips," Tony Gricar said. He added that the site has been receiving "quite a few tips" and he passes them along to Bellefonte police.

Gricar's family also requested the help of psychic Carla Baron, who assisted Ferguson Township police in the still unsolved 2001 disappearance of Penn State student Cindy Song.

"Early on we thought there was a cold trail," he said. "There was not one thing that really pulled in one direction or another."

Baron said law enforcement or families usually contact her for help.

"Psychic ability and how you apply it is like profiling," she said. "It's assembling pieces of information that I get in another place."

Fornicola said that she and Gricar's daughter want to find him the most.

"I never thought that we would be in a place where Ray would be missing," she said.

Bellefonte Police Chief Duane Dixon said police will keep the case open until it "comes to a resolution."

Police have ruled nothing out in the case, including the possibility of foul play.

"We really don't have enough evidence to rule one way or the other," Dixon said.

Gricar was last heard from April 15, when he called Fornicola to tell her he was driving on Route 192 at about 6:30 p.m. The following day, Gricar's red and white Mini Cooper was found near an antiques market in Lewisburg. His cell phone was found inside the locked car and has not been used since the call to Fornicola.

Since then, a number of possible sightings have been reported, most recently on May 27 by a man who thought he saw Gricar and an older woman in a restaurant in Southfield, Mich. Other sightings have been reported in Wilkes-Barre and Ohio; however, none of the reports have been proven true.
