Despite the nature of the 2001 incident that McQueary told Paterno he witnessed in the showers, Paterno did not notify state police.While the prosecutors did not accuse Paterno of any wrongdoing, he was criticized for his failure to follow up on McQueary's report.The victim in the 2001 incident was identified in July 2012. Sandusky continued to have access to the university's athletic facilities until his arrest in November 2011.

Here's what smells in this whole situation. Sandusky was the head coach in waiting at Penn State. Then suddenly not only was he not the head coach in waiting but he suddenly "retired" in 1999 at the age of 55. This was only a year or two after he was named coach in waiting. Why the sudden change Penn State?

It's been nine years since Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar disappeared and authorities still seem to have more questions than answers.
Was it suicide? Murder? Or did he simply walk away from his life? While a court declared Gricar dead in 2011 -- despite the absence of a body -- authorities still cannot say what happened to him.
In 2005, 60-year-old Gricar disappeared after leaving his home to go for a drive. Later, authorities located his vehicle parked outside of an antique mall in Lewisburg, a place he frequently visited. Police also retrieved his laptop and hard drive from the Susquehanna River.
Many theories have developed over the years concerning Gricar's disappearance. For example, some wonder if it is connected to Gricar's decision not to file criminal charges against former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky.
In 1998, Sandusky abused a boy who later became known as Victim 6 in the locker room shower after an afternoon of working out at Penn State's football facility. The boy's mother was alarmed by her son's wet hair when he arrived home, found out about the shower, and alerted authorities.
The boy's mother later confronted Sandusky in her home while police were listening in on the conversation. Sandusky told the mother of Victim 6 that he 'wished he was dead' and knew he wouldn't be granted her forgiveness. Ultimately, Gricar never filed charges against Sandusky.
It wasn't until years later, after new allegations, that Sandusky was arrested and convicted on child sex abuse charges.

This. Not Joe's job to solve crimes, he's a football coach and Sandusky wasn't on staff in 2001.
