The Bellefonte Police Department will not administer polygraph tests to the remaining family members of missing Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar. The polygraph tests were initially intended to rule out any involvement with the disappearance or contact with Gricar.

Centre County commissioners, with the assistance of state lawyers, will also begin to examine what to do about Gricar's salary, which has been held since his April disappearance.

Bellefonte Police Officer Darrel Zaccagni said that giving polygraph tests to Gricar's nephews and two ex-wives was considered, but does not need to be done right now.

"With the constraints of time, travel involvement, bringing in the same Secret Service agents ... it just doesn't seem like there is a whole lot to be gained by doing it immediately," Zaccagni said.

Zaccagni said the primary concern was to give a polygraph test to those who were closest to Gricar and whom he might have contacted.

Lara Gricar, Ray Gricar's daughter, and Patty Fornicola, his girlfriend, were both given polygraph tests to rule out any involvement in Gricar's disappearance and the chance that he may have contacted them. Neither woman has ever been a suspect in the case, Zaccagni said.

Zaccagni said Ray Gricar's ex-wives are not considered suspects.

Ray Gricar's first ex-wife, whom he was with for about 27 years, was still close to Gricar because of their daughter, Lara, Zaccagni said.

"They maintained a strong family relationship -- it was an amicable parting," Zaccagni said.

Ray Gricar was together with his other ex-wife for three to four years, and after the divorce settlement was complete, there was no further communication and, therefore, no reason to suspect her, Zaccagni said.

Zaccagni said he is going back through Gricar's court cases and receiving calls from detectives to try to compile a list of anyone who still might be of interest in the case.

He added that the family would most likely get together again in the future but that he maintains contact with at least one family member on a weekly basis.

"Things are pretty quiet right now, unfortunately. I keep hoping with hunting season coming up we will get some closure for the family -- that's not the best result for the family, finding out he's no longer with us, but I think that's what we are all looking for right now ... closure," Zaccagni said.

Ray Gricar's salary, which the Centre County commissioners voted to withhold a few weeks after his disappearance last May, is going to be looked at by state lawyers to figure out what to do with his almost $130,000 salary.

"We have no clue about his whereabouts. We don't know if he is still alive or abandoned his post," Centre County commissioners' chairman Chris Exarchos said.

Sen. Jake Corman, R-Centre, said he offered the Centre County commissioners some assistance at the state level for guidance with handling Gricar's salary.

He said he has contacted the state attorney general's office and the governor's chief counsel for a legal opinion on the matter.

"They are trying to find a precedent from other places in the state where this has happened and find out what is the proper way to go about this problem," Corman said.

Exarchos said the situation is "precedent-setting" and the Centre County commissioners do not know how to proceed with the issue of Gricar's salary.

"We have no guidance on this as to what happens with [Gricar's] benefits and salary," Exarchos said.

Exarchos said Gricar's will would only have a bearing over his retirement account because it is an accrued benefit. However, salary is a "payment of services" and with Gricar absent from his position, it is necessary to figure out the reason for his disappearance to determine further action, he said.
