Psychic says missing man was killed
Sunday, June 26, 2005

Carla Baron, the psychic profiler working on the Ray Gricar case, believes the missing 59-year-old district attorney was killed. Here is the scenario she laid out for what could have happened to him:

Gricar, who planned to retire at the end of this year, stumbled upon information of an illegal scheme that threatened the income of several people involved in a criminal network over a period of years. He got the information four to six weeks before his disappearance and planned to talk to someone in higher government.

Those in the criminal network found out that Gricar was on to them, and they were following him.

"It was too much of a danger to them and their operation," Baron said. "At the root of this is a lot of money."

Baron doesn't believe they planned to kidnap Gricar on April 15, the day he disappeared, but because he drove out of town, the opportunity presented itself.

When Gricar parked his car at the antique shop in Lewisburg, he was approached by two men in a tan, four-door car. The driver leaned in Gricar's passenger window and showed him a gun beneath his shirt.

"I could see the hairs on the guy's arm leaning in," she said.

Apparently, the man threatened Gricar, who left with them in their car.

A man in the back seat used plastic ties to secure Gricar's hands behind his back.

"The reason he went with them, he didn't want any harm to come to the people he loved," Baron said. "The threat was on the table."

She believes the men then took Gricar to a large warehouse where they do business.

Baron sees a series of bay doors that roll up, as well as people standing around writing on clipboards. She believes a road runs parallel to the warehouse and there are railroad tracks that go up and slope back down again. She thinks Route 15 will come into play, and she also sees an underpass with concrete buttresses.

Baron believes the attackers copied what was on Gricar's laptop computer, which police have been unable to find, and then destroyed it.

She believes they killed Gricar that night and buried him in a shallow grave near their workplace so they could keep an eye on it.

"The same people that picked up Ray are not the ones that killed him," Baron said. "I have a feeling we're going to find them and connect them to this before we find Ray."

She believes Gricar's body is five to 15 minutes away from the spot in Lewisburg where his car was found.
