Karen Leclair was 51 when she was killed on Lake Erie on June 10, 2017. Prosecutors say her husband of 25 years, Christopher Leclair, took her out on their commercial fishing boat, the Doris-M, shot her in the head, bound her with rope, and weighed her body with an anchor before casting her into the lake. Her body was recovered on July 4, 2017, about six miles off Dunkirk, New York.

Surveillance footage showed the couple boarding the boat together on June 10 and Christopher returning alone; the footage also captured him going out alone the day he called the Coast Guard to report an accidental overboard. Investigators say Christopher had been having an affair and had discussed killing his wife; his father, Earnest Leclair, was later found to have hidden the revolver used in the killing. A jury convicted Christopher of first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, evidence-tampering, and making false reports, and he received a life sentence without parole plus additional time for the other charges.

If anyone knew Karen, her movements on June 10, 2017, or has information about the events on the Doris-M, please come forward.
