Psychic joins search for missing district attorney

Carla Baron, a psychic, has been called in to try to locate missing District Attorney Ray Gricar who disappeared nearly a month ago. The decision was taken following a request from members of Gricar's family. Police officer Darrel Zaccagni suggested approaching Carla Baron since he knew that she had been involved in a similar case helping to trace a missing student. Although Zaccagni is skeptical of psychics in general, he said he can't discount them.

"I believe in God, and if I believe in God, I have to believe there are spirits out there," he said. "If you look, more and more police are using psychics."

Barbara Gray, Gricar's ex-wife said she and other family members and friends were interested in using a psychic because police are running out of angles to investigate.

"At this point, we have no clues," she said. "We're hoping anything we can learn will be beneficial."

The last contact with Ray Gricar was on April 15, when he called his girlfriend Patty Fornicola about 11:30 a.m. to say he was taking a drive along state Route 192 in the Brush Valley area. Fornicola called police about 11:30 p.m. when Gricar had failed to return home. The red-and-white Mini Cooper he was driving was found in a parking lot in Lewisburg April 16, police said.
