Not Hollywood but a Pennsylvania DA who was investigating Jerry Sandusky before the whole story dropped disappeared in 2005. They found his computer is a creek with the hard drive missing and he was never seen again. He investigate Sandusky in 98 and declined to press charges. Sandusky retired from coaching that year.
This is probably the only CT that has really piqued my interest. The CT is that Sandusky was running a child sex ring through his charity the 2nd Mile for rich/politically connected people.

Gricar successfully campaigned to make the Centre County DA job a full-time one in 1996, as it had been a part-time position when he was elected.
[4][5] He was re-elected as DA in 1989, 1993, 1997 and 2001.
[4] During his tenure as DA, Gricar prosecuted the perpetrator of the 1996 Hetzel Union Building shooting at Penn State.
[5][6] In 1998, Gricar declined to press charges against longtime
Penn State assistant football coach
Jerry Sandusky following allegations of sexual abuse.
[7] In 1999 Gricar appeared on episode five of season two of the
Discovery Channel show
The FBI Files. Thirteen years later, in 2011, Sandusky was arrested and charged by the
Pennsylvania Attorney General's office on
multiple counts of child sexual abuse. In 2004, Gricar announced he would not run for re-election and would retire from both the DA job and as a practicing attorney in December 2005, shortly after his 60th birthday.

Disappearance[edit]
At 11:30 a.m. (
EDT) on April 15, 2005, Gricar called Fornicola to inform her that he was driving through the Brush Valley area northeast of
Centre Hall.
[9] Gricar failed to return home, and late that evening, Fornicola reported him missing.
[9]
The following day, investigators identified a red
MINI Cooper, the car driven by Ray Gricar, in an antique store parking lot in
Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
[10] The car contained his county-issued cell phone but not his laptop computer, nor his keys, nor his wallet, and investigators identified no signs of foul play.
[8] Police and family members noted that the location of the vehicle, adjacent to two bridges over the Susquehanna River, bore some similarities to the location of the vehicle of Roy Gricar, older brother of Ray Gricar, before investigators found his body in the Great Miami River in Ohio in 1996.
[10]
In the days following the discovery of the vehicle, authorities searched the river and its banks but found no sign of Gricar.
[8] Pennsylvania authorities asked the
FBI to analyze Gricar's bank accounts, credit card records and cell phone records, but found no clues as to where he may have been.

On July 30, 2005, fishermen discovered the county-issued laptop computer of Ray Gricar in the Susquehanna River beneath a bridge between Lewisburg and
Milton.
[11] A
Pennsylvania State Police computer expert analyzed the computer and found that its
hard drive was missing.
[11] Divers searched the area of the river near where the laptop was found over the next several days, but found nothing else.
[11] Two months later, someone recovered a hard drive on the banks of the Susquehanna River about 100 yards (91 m) from the location of the laptop, and investigators theorize that it originated with Gricar;
[12] however, it was badly damaged, and analysis by the FBI,
U.S. Secret Service and the firm
Kroll Ontrack—which successfully recovered data from a hard drive recovered from the
Space Shuttle Columbia disaster—all attempted but failed to recover any data from the hard drive.
[13]
In April 2009, Bellefonte police revealed that before his disappearance, someone used the home computer at the residence of Gricar and his girlfriend to perform
internet searches on topics such as "how to wreck a hard drive", "how to fry a hard drive" and "water damage to a notebook computer".
[14][15]
The disappearance of Gricar featured as the subject of at least two television documentaries: an episode of
Haunting Evidence that first aired on
Court TV in June 2006, and an episode of
Disappeared that first aired on
Investigation Discovery in February 2011.
[16] Additionally, an episode of
Without a Trace on
CBS featured information on Ray Gricar.
[17] An episode of news magazine
Dateline NBC featured the disappearance of Gricar on December 16, 2011.
On June 30, 2011, Lara Gricar, daughter of Ray Gricar and trustee of his
estate, petitioned Centre County for a court declaration of
declared death in absentia.
[18] County President Judge David E. Grine approved the petition and declared Gricar legally dead on July 25, 2011.
[19]
A day after the judge declared Gricar legally dead, police in Utah arrested a man resembling Gricar, who refused to reveal his identity, on a misdemeanor charge.
[20] This "John Doe" resembled Gricar in his height and weight, lips, and even some wrinkles.
[21] The similarities caused an internet sensation, with speculation that someone had found Gricar.
[21] Centre County authorities quickly sent copies of fingerprints of Gricar to Utah, expecting a match.
[22] Nevertheless, the fingerprints of this man triggered no match.
[20] Authorities eventually identified the man and declared he was not Gricar.
