Two Pennsylvania district attorneys are calling for the investigation of missing Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar to change jurisdiction, but some local law enforcement officials have said the trail is cold and the move may not help.

District Attorneys Ted McKnight of Clinton County and Bob Buehner of Montour County want Gricar's case to be handled by the state attorney general's office and Pennsylvania State Police.

Since last April, the case has been in the hands of the Bellefonte Police Department.

However, Bellefonte Police Officer Darrel Zaccagni, who heads the Gricar investigation, said police have exhausted all the leads pertaining to a missing-persons case.

"At this point, I don't know what they're going to do that we haven't already," he said.

Zaccagni added that state and national agencies, like the FBI and Secret Service, have tried to assist with the case, at the request of the Bellefonte police, and have been unsuccessful.

"We certainly don't have the FBI, CIA and Secret Service beating down our door asking to have this case," Zaccagni said.

But McKnight said that if more police personnel review the case, there is a better chance of coming across new leads.

"We have to try to do everything we possibly can to investigate what possibly happened," McKnight said.

Gricar was last heard from April 15 when he called his girlfriend to tell her he was taking the day off from work and going for a drive.

His car was found the next day in Lewisburg.

Today, newly elected District Attorney Michael Madeira said he, Zaccagni and Bellefonte Police Chief Shawn Weaver have a meeting to discuss the progression of the case and "to make sure we've crossed all the T's and dotted all the I's."

"Ray Gricar was our [district attorney] for 20 years. If nothing else, he deserves for us to check everything, so we don't miss anything," Madeira said.

Madeira said although he is hopeful that new leads will turn up, he is unsure whether the case would progress further under state jurisdiction.

"They can have all the resources in the world, but [it won't work] if there's nothing to follow up on," he said.

However, McKnight said that with more resources, like the use of state police, could only serve to help the investigation.

"Maybe nothing at all is gained, but at least you've tried," McKnight said. "I've got to believe with the resources that are available to the Attorney General and the state police and a dedicated effort, there has got to be something more that can be done."

Buehner was not available for comment.

Zaccagni said if the case is ruled a homicide, more could be done to investigate, such as reviewing the cases Gricar prosecuted as district attorney.

Tony Gricar, Ray Gricar's nephew, said the review of past cases is a "monumental" task that could still turn out to be inconclusive.

"There's really nothing that can be done," Tony Gricar said. "That's been the problem all along."

Tony Gricar said he hopes that, if moved to the state level, the investigation could be refreshed to provide more leads.
