The September 1980 murders happened after Leclair was kicked out of a hotel bar for arguing with staff. He returned with a handgun and shot dead two bar workers — Anthony Dutkiewicz and James McDonald — and an elderly patron, Frieda Kardepohl. He missed another victim who fled. In 2015, he admitted to travelling outside his permitted boundaries and to not being under the direct supervision of his wife while on an unescorted absence. He was reprimanded, but overall his releases were deemed “positive” by the board.
His risk was considered lower if housed in a long-term care facility rather than a domestic situation. That’s because a psychologist recently described him as “an untreated perpetrator of domestic violence who continues to struggle with emotional regulation.”
