Dean Leckrone, a 69-year-old lifelong resident of Libby, Montana, died of a gunshot wound on December 17, 2017. His wife reported that he had accidentally shot himself, but investigators found the scene inconsistent with an accidental death and focused on her as a suspect.

Authorities said Connie Jean Leckrone gave conflicting statements to police, and a recorded moment in an interrogation room captured her mumbling I shot him. After agreeing to have her hands swabbed for gunshot residue, she was observed licking her hands and pouring water on them, conduct later charged as evidence tampering. She was arrested and charged with deliberate homicide and evidence tampering in connection with Dean’s death.

Does anyone from Libby or who knew the Leckrones have information about Dean, the couple’s relationship, or the day he died?
