In a relationship no matter if it's romantic or platonic one will always learn about the other person in romantic relationships. This rite of passage is emphasized as a major Milestone. If not several there are times when the things one learns our disappointments you find out that your partner has a terrible sense of humor that they snore loudly or that when the working day is done. They like to sit down with two fists of whiskey and you'll racist slurs at the neighbors. Not all discoveries are disappointing of course, but enough that we can recognize the pattern. Then there are the other discoveries the exciting ones the pleasant ones along with the exceedingly unpleasant when one learns something new about their partner For Better or For Worse it often comes with no surprise in a natural relationship many new discoveries are born of guesses things. That one is wondered about the other at least once since they met you might wonder if your own partner likes the same crappy documentaries that you do if they have some wild stories of theft and vandalism. Them from their youth or if they by some miracle have a rich Uncle who wants to pay for your future nuptials. Whatever the case there are some surprises that have already been imagined some however exist beyond the common imagination. There are some secrets that one on earth can truly shocked or met someone who has known their partner for years. It's true to that some of these Secrets never get discovered like the Dark Side of the Moon. There are some people who hide their true nature from their Partners every day for the entirety of their life. These people these experts and subterfuge cloaked in darkness are sometimes harmless wanting only to keep certain intimate things to themselves. There is however, another type of the seat another type of cloak-and-dagger individual whose motives are less than pure.

Karen was an optimistic young woman with a heart of gold when she met her future husband Christopher Leclair known for her selfless attitude around the community. She first started making that name for herself with her large family according to her brother Frank case. Born in 1965 Karen's addition to the Dozen plus siblings in Erie Pennsylvania was a welcome one as she is remembered as one of the most loving members of the family. This family didn't stay in Erie forever though before Karen was able to graduate from McDowell High School. They moved all the way to California where Karen instead attended a different school after graduating high school in 1983 her family made another move heading east once more to Florida her passion for the water and her loyal fun-loving attitude. Dude proved in a tractor for a certain Christopher Leclair the man that she would one day. Marry Karen's family was heavily steeped in marine life as Frank case points out in one interview stating that the fishing business was a given with the cases. It came as no surprise that at each juncture her family had moved to states with a decent amount of shore side action. Christopher with whom she grew in a murder at age 19 also involved himself in fishing. At the end of Karen's life. He had been a commercial fisherman and years before he ran a bait and tackle shop on Lake Erie Christopher's career tied in well with Karen's favorite hobbies. It seemed as she was often fond of visiting the Cayman Islands and other hot scuba diving destinations for excursions of her own life next to the water was apparently in her blood and by finding a man with the same interests, it seemed that she had hit the jackpot Karen for her part had not ceased to be an inspiring presence to others around her even. She got engaged and then married to Christopher. In fact, after returning to her home state. She continued honing her reputation as an amazing addition to society by working at a local Hobby Stop in Erie, Pennsylvania. Her hard work was noticed regularly by co-workers and customers alike. And even after moving on to Superior Toyota where she earned a career over 12 years working in the accounting department her reputation preceded her in her work as much as it did with her family for anyone who encountered her had nothing but praise. Praise for the way she held herself her co-worker, Julie Rosen Quest whose kids remembered Karen for her sweet personality in a desk drawer full of sweets to boot remembered many virtues of the woman that all others could agree on wholeheartedly Not only was she considered outgoing and friendly, but her work ethic was exceptional. Karen was a model employee and her co-workers at Superior Toyota thought of her Morris family. Julie's kids were exceedingly fond of her for her generous spirit and Sweet Disposition her boss to thought of her as a key player and the cultural development of the dealership and mentioned that he also thought of her as family Karen truly was a beacon in the eyes of her community and it showed perhaps because of her can-do attitude and her loyal loving demeanor her need to power through the troubles that her husband brought upon her was just natural. However, cheery her interactions with people in the day-to-day Karen came across trouble earlier and more often with Christopher than most people ever expect with their Partners back when they were still dating Christopher and Karen along with Christopher's father Ernest Leclair had a run-in with the law according to the Elwood City Ledger. The three of them were implicated in an attempt at insurance fraud Christopher and Ernest own an insurance policy worth over 300,000 that they tried to incur after a fire broke out at a Creek Township residents where the two were reportedly keeping inventory for their business after investigating the event it was discovered that the reported inventory had all either been sold or kept elsewhere meaning that the claim to the policy was fraudulent. This was not surprising at all considering the fact that Christopher was known for throwing his money around who is commonly uncouth with his finances and is debt was a consistent struggle in later life for him and his family. Back in 1990 though. This insurance fraud had landed Christopher some time in prison, while Karen was easily acquitted of all charges against her her time as a suspect was not long and her reputation despite Christopher's actions remained unsullied one thing from her early life with Christopher and the Leclair Clan was clear though. She did not know everything about the man. She was going to marry. In fact, it turned out that he would be capable of more than Karen ever expected. Christopher Leclair through all of his usual business ventures had lost more money than most people in the town would make he was a charlatan but in the dangerous moves toward crippling debt, the pressure was on perhaps that's part of what I woke him in the adulterous side that reared its ugly head in the latter half of their marriage Christopher had begun to see a woman Circa 2013 by the name of Tracy Butler and Tracy and her own way was expecting much of Christopher the man in his usual manner of buzzwords and double-talk had found him way into an extramarital. Ocean ship where the woman in question was swept off her feet perhaps you didn't get all the anger and financial stress that came with being married to Christopher. He likely save that and all of his other vices for Karen at home while he enjoyed the company of a mistress regardless Tracy was smitten and she was certain in the years that followed that she wanted to make Christopher a permanent part of her life. She insisted throughout the affair that Christopher leave his wife to start a new life with her. She expressed the desire to have kids and Christopher. At least in his conversations with Tracy wanted the same thing Tracy knew that there was only so much they could do while he was still married Christopher though. Apparently kept Tracy at arm's length holding onto both relationships until the summer of 2017 Karen his marriage to Christopher had undergone a few obvious downturns was Vigilant in the wake of Christopher's cheating and lying about which Karen was in the dark. She worked tirelessly to repair the score old marriage her attempts to bring fixed to the Sea. Tuition we're not enough. However to appease the husband. She thought she knew Christopher had made it clear that he wasn't trying his dalliance with Tracy was continuing at a Breakneck speed and it was later revealed that Tracy had even called an ultimatum on Christopher in an attempt to get him to leave his wife to leave her though. We proved to be too simple for Christopher his efforts to end his marriage proved much more Sinister than a simple divorce. On June 10th 2017 Christopher and Karen Leclair took a trip on their fishing boat. The Doris em out of the East Basin docks on Lake Erie a lake which at its widest point stands 57 miles many fishing Expeditions take place on the lake, but one of the most interesting activities that people partake in at Lake Erie is diving the shipwrecks which are estimated to Total mm this particular body of water, then covers one of the highest concentrations of shipwrecks in the world that said the Thousands of shipwrecks that lay at the bottom of Lake Erie. We're no interest to Christopher whose wife had a love of scuba diving. No on this trip his interest was in another sunken mystery added to the Lakes floor as of June 10th Christopher took care and making one gunshot to Karen's head with a 38 caliber revolver with a clandestine. Hope that it would look like a suicide. He then tied Karen's lifeless body to an anchor and plunged her into the cool depths. His job on the water was only halfway done, but he had planned to wait it out until his next cue late that afternoon. It was only Christopher who returned to the dock aboard the Doris m. Karen though. She left with them never came back a fact that was caught on cameras later found on the docks. That evening according to Tracey Christopher returned and they spent the night together discussing their future Christopher told her that she would be able to move into his house the same month a plan which had not been on the table before then. It seemed that Christopher had made his move and he was ready to take on the new life. He was planning with Tracy scratch that he was almost ready. He still had one more thing to take care of out on the lake around 10:00 or 11:00 the next morning. He left Tracy's house and returned to Lake Erie when he arrived at the lake he The boat once more out with a stone cold stare alone on the water. He made his way out about three miles off the coast. We need made a surprising call. He reached out to the US Coast Guard and he told them that Karen had fallen out of the boat and into the water and soon enough. There was an armada of search team professionals on the lake looking for care and Leclair in the water Christopher stood by as the search expanded doc. Bye doc mile by mile until aircraft hummed above with an intent to find the missing person. After over 30 hours on the water having searched over 1400 square miles the Coast Guard finally called their search declaring Karen dead to have poured over so much land and water without a sign of their potential drowning victim was discouraging more than that though the chances that she was still alive somewhere on the lake had dwindled drastically the search had been harrowing expensive and vast and all the while there was Christopher Leclair his contributions had been succinct. He had not offered much in. Formation at all. Like he said Karen had simply fallen off the boat. Then why wouldn't he have more to say wouldn't he like all innocent men have more to offer investigators during their search needless to say, he wasn't nearly as Cooperative as he could have been should have been in the search for his very own wife, and that more than anything rubbed police the wrong way they decided to get Christopher alone, and they had themselves a very long discussion and Christopher Leclair talked with Pennsylvania State Police on June. L've he recollected his version of events of his last days with Karen according to his statement. He and Karen spent the entirety of June 10th on Lake Erie cleaning out their fishing nets. He said the state of the water made his job difficult. So they went back home and stayed there until the following day that he said was when they decided to have a second go at the lake right around noon after they headed out to the water was when he claimed she fell overboard that too was when he claimed he made the distress call. During the course of the interview to Christopher eventually mentioned the affair. He had been having over the past several months when Tracy did come up. The investigators asked Christopher when he had last had sex with her while initially stating that he had last met with her several months ago. He afterward confirmed that the last time he did see her was on the 9th of that month June. It seemed was a busy season for lying cheating murderers, but Christopher's agenda was anything but clear with this interview out of the way. It was time for the police to approach Tracy. See Butler the mistress and the girlfriend for whom Christopher's lying did no good Tracy when asked about her rendezvous with Christopher on June 9th denied ever seen him that day instead. She insisted Christopher came over in the evening of June 10th, and he stayed until he headed back out mid-morning the same time. He would have been headed over to the docks to board the Doris em with or without his wife Karen lying. It seemed was no good for Christopher and the police made Headway with the surveillance videos that captured Christopher's activities on the Ox those two days in June while watching Christopher and Karen leave together around noon on the 10th the police knew that they were going to have to expect one of two things when the door Sam returned with its single passenger aboard. However, the police had fewer questions to answer. Of course, once they reviewed the footage from the 11th in which Christopher is aboard the boat alone once more just over an hour before he was to call the authorities their suspicions were confirmed completely Not only was Christopher lying about the activity and his whereabouts but circumstantial evidence. This guilt The karyn's Disappearance was considerable. He had no alibi and Karen was missing after an outing with him over the vast verdant surface of the Great Lake it was enough for law enforcement to make their next move around midnight after June 13th had nearly gone the court read their charges against their newest accused felon, Christopher Leclair who plead innocent was accused of criminal homicide. His crime was against his known wife Karen Leclair and all of the Court had to do was prove it later in the day. Investigators were able to serve search warrants with rights to look at both Leclair cell phones as well as that of Tracy Butler. The dark corners of Christopher's existence were slowly coming to light as his house in his vehicle also underwent searching the police were taking samples of DNA from the house hair and saliva in the hopes that when they found Karen's body, they'd be able to know for sure. It's important to note that everyone who heard about Karen was deeply distressed by the event whether they knew about Christopher's part in her disappearance from the get-go or whether they heard from Christopher himself, like Karen's co-workers. They all said the same thing why Karen Her reputation throughout the community as a selfless individual had spread like wildfire throughout her time in her Pennsylvania town, but there was one final note of concern something that may well have answered the question why Karen long before Christopher could think up an excuse Karen Leclair? It was said had a life insurance policy soon. It was over two weeks since Christopher's arraignment and nothing was to be said of finding Karen's body. At least not until Independence Day. We will be right back after these short messages, July 4th rolled around lazily on to Lake Erie and the surrounding communities and only on that day did a boater come across what appeared to be a human body female from the looks of it the body floating in the water six miles off. The coast was nearest to Dunkirk New York, which was still a ways away from the East Basin dock where the Dora sense at all so lifeless. Christopher had made his bed thinking he wouldn't have to lie in it evidently though. He had soiled the bed. He had made it all too easy to be caught in his lie. Now it was clean up time their discovery of Karen's body and Lake Erie was nothing short of disturbing Christopher when disposing of her body had not only tied her to the boat anchor but he had tied her ankles around as well the state of the body did not look conducive to an accident drowning in the least Christopher's initial defense was already not holding much. So to speak now it was leaking profusely in the autopsy after Karen's body was positively identified the time came for the examiner to determine cause of death judging from the wide bullet hole in her head. It was evident that the accident which Christopher concocted on the 11th was only a fallacy the Layman would have to assume that Christopher was to blame and the experts while they knew the truth with all the proof. They had it was simply a matter of making the case when the Bullet Hole was discovered. Word police went back to the footage that surveyed Christopher during his time in the Erie County Prison and they discovered an unsettling conversation between him and his father Ernest Leclair. Apparently when Ernest visited his son Christopher's discussion with him involved a gun. He asked his father whether he had taken care of the weapon and Earnest eager to help his boy said, yes, it was more than enough confirmation to place Earnest under arrest while they conjure up yet another search warrant this time checking the boat which served as the Crime scene along with the house once more thanks to this tip the police recovered the murder weapon the 38 caliber revolver along with ropes on the boat that match the type used to bind Karen's body before she was waterborne Earnest for all he did to help his son cover up. The crime was charged with tampering with evidence his work with the gun and his sons blatant disregard for caution had landed him in prison alongside his killer son with a $25,000 Bond. The very next day Ernest posted the ten percent needed to walk away while Christopher sat and waited for trial to come. Christopher had time to write in prison. He wrote some letters. In fact, we're and he professed his innocence in the events prior much to the bewilderment of law officials. He delivered a narrative in which his wife the selfless and beloved decided to end her life in his version of events. She shot herself in the head Awash with Agony over the affair that Christopher was having sure Karen was working hard to repair the marriage that Christopher had actively abandoned but this story of his was just that a story it. Story that conflicted directly with his first but Christopher even had a reason for that. According to him the guilt. He felt was immense after all it was his wanton actions that had earned Karen and early watery grave. He stated in these letters that he himself had discovered the body first, but after dumping the body into the lake, he was warded off by police in the area The Narrative paints Christopher as Meek a victim a person adjacent to tragedy but he never took responsibility for the acts that were clearly committed. Eventually though Christopher's defense attorney was forced to push forth the story that Christopher had fabricated the six letters written by Christopher or read in court by a police officer who testified as lead investigator of the case and the story Christopher weaved in these letters also portrayed a person of compassion in one of the letters. He wrote I didn't want anyone to know what she had done. I tied her to an anchor and let her go he claims to have taken in his words screenshots of the body he And before the police called him off the water. However, elaborate was beginning to sound the story was barely palatable to the court try as Christopher might to claim innocence the evidence pointed to the contrary in most respects nevertheless. The defense pulled out all the stops. They had namely they called to the stand there one defense witness in a case that was overpowered all too easily. Dr. Carl Williams Allegheny County's chief medical examiner. Dr. Williams upon review of the autopsy report and the photograph Of the body attested to the appearance of the self-inflicted gunshot wound. This may have been the defense has Ace in the Hole their best bet at Landing some sort of nabbed innocence for Christopher. However, before that could happen the prosecution then cross-examined, dr. Williams and his expert testimony. When asked if he would have taken other circumstances into account, he stated that if he were the medical examiner, in this case, he would have a high likelihood of coming to another conclusion the prosecution for their part had many more aces up their Of course, the elimination of the defense one. Hope was well underway, even the defense attorney was noted to sound disbelieving in his delivery of the suicide story. Whatever the prosecution had left was simply left to clinch the decision of the court in an undeniable sweet during the trial Tracy Butler. The mistress was called To The Stand one would have assumed that her story would at least somewhat support Christopher and his Alibi his defenses against the allegations against him, but Tracy was more than forthright. She first confirmed the actual length of the relationship while Christopher statement held that he had only been seen Tracy for several months her account painted a much larger picture. She attested that she had been entangled romantically with Christopher since 2013 in an on-again off-again relationship wearing they lived together for eight months this differ greatly from the relationship that Christopher described which was chalked up to a brief dalliance text messages a shared showed a deeper side revealing a relationship where the to claim to be in love. It was even discovered that the two were trying to get pregnant together trying to form a family a New Life. She gave an account of their actual clandestine relationship in detail on the stand discussing Christopher's Promises of marriage and of wanting to leave his wife Tracey, of course have been pushing for divorce, but it was obvious to the court that Christopher's solution was much more drastic. In fact prosecutor Elizabeth hers addressed his decision quote rather than just leave Karen this man decides to take her out on his boat and shooter. It's chilling what he did that day and quote while Tracy may have been asking Christopher to start a new life with her. It was Christopher who decided that meant ending another life entirely Tracy also mentioned to police another incriminating factoid about her relationship with Chris. Apparently while eating with Tracy and her children Christopher discussed a life insurance policy that he had on his wife this policy which totaled at $30,000 would have been in effect for an accidental death and it was likely that Christopher's first story was fabricated to earn that policies payout in full. The age-old tale of a cheating spouse taking out the life-insurance policy on their partner to start anew with the homewrecker was a story that was recognizable enough to turn heads in the courtroom, but it was clear with enough time that the mistress had nothing to do with it Tracy simply wanted a family and although this mode of may seem like enough to Encompass the situation and its full capacity. There was more to the story more of that like first assistant DA Elizabeth, her said was chilling. She wasn't wrong about that not by a long shot of a 38 caliber revolver. As if the conversations in prison weren't enough to condemn Earnest and Christopher and some sort of collusion the court brought in recordings of phone calls between the two men while Christopher sat quietly in the courtroom speaking not a word on his own behalf. Jury and judge a like heard Christopher Leclair from early in June asking his father to get rid of the gun true. If one was attempting to hide a suicide there would be a discussion about the method of self-infliction there might even be an attempt to hide the evidence of the self harm if possible. However, the actions that were taken along with the circumstantial evidence surrounding them Point toward a more Sinister occurrence The Hiding of the murder weapon the laps an alibi the motive for murder and uncooperative nature of Christopher's interactions with the police during the search for Karen all were used in the implication of Christopher and Karen's murder. It was possible though under the shaky defense of suicide and survivor's guilt that each of these occurrences could have supported Christopher's version of events. There was however one last piece of evidence something that surpassed even the discovery of the affair of the life insurance policy of even the revolver that was used and Karen's life Christopher's Mo Christopher as fate would have it had discussed his plans to kill Karen before 2017. In fact the plan he had was in mind for over 10 years without so much as a peep from the witnesses until the Fateful event occurred two witnesses on separate occasions recall conversing with Who had ruminated on killing his wife by taking her out on the lake and throwing her overboard this fantasy of his was remembered from one Witnesses conversation with Christopher in 2011. The other though was much earlier the first witness mentioned of murdering Karen was placed in the year 2014 almost 13 years before her actual death. Thirteen years is a hell of a long time to plan a murder and Judge John jate. Rasila commented on the act before Christopher whose silence in the courtroom was still unsettling. Judge, Drusilla called Karen a ray of light stating that she was a selfless giving Soul it was then that he turned his attention to the selfish life before him referring now to Christopher quote the depravity and depths that you went to calculate this murder are unlike any this court has ever seen and quote. He said with conviction as he sentenced Christopher to life in prison without parole plus 3 and 3/4 to 17 years for murder in the first degree in addition to charges related. To his cover-up of the attack and the legality of his use of the firearm to Christopher life in prison would have been too light of a sentence true still then tacked on some extra years and charged him with over $700,000 to reimburse the state for their search and rescue efforts the extra years on top of the life sentence were thrown in for good measure making sure that the punishment did indeed fit the crime. As he said in his Karen's brother Frank case said in response to the case, there was a selfless life paired with a selfish one in the selfish one decided to take until he could take no more from Karen whose selflessness touched the lives of this community and many many ways there were dark days indeed for the people of Erie County, but at least some justice had now been served. It's not everyday that one's life is upturned by the deceit and ill-will of a loved one. It happens, of course, but not often enough to warn a road sign tipping off the next drivers to head down Lovers Lane. The gamble of living with another individual is the fact that no matter how much you learn about them. You can never know everything every thought every wish every urge. It's all too much and it's too personal. That's why commitment means so much when you marry another person, for example, it's under the assumption that for the foreseeable future the person you marry is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with it's a huge decision and with it comes a commitment to the person, you know, or rather to the person you feel like you know, The truth of it is the commitment can have a backlash since sometimes we enter into agreements big and small with people who aren't what they seem whether it's that they have a misunderstanding of the agreement or that they simply don't agree to the terms. There are many people that break these commitments without batting an eyelash. There are those two who simply enter a commitment like a marriage under false pretenses when you find a marriage a commitment like that. It's hard to reconcile what the course of action should It'd be so many people find separating and ending the commitment to Be an Effective policy. There are others who find Value in the relationship on a if only basis these people motivated in part by what could be work to manage and repair their lost connection with their partner. And if the partner is simply a perception based on falsehoods, then the salvation of such a relationship is almost always out of the question. Relationships are tricky. They're complex with many moving Parts. But at the root of it all there's always just two people and these two people whether they know it or not are expecting transparency of sort. If not, the whole thing falls apart the same thing goes for people whose ulterior motives are sheltered through years of meaningless experiences, though the life you experience with your partner may have meaning and emotion attached if your partner doesn't share those sentiments then the committed relationship between the two Oh of you no longer exists. In fact, the longer a person can keep themselves locked away with the thought of being rid of the partner the more likely it is that the relationship they had never met anything to them in the beginning the most likely began under the same file see and will maintain it until they get what they want. That's the cool part. Some people really are that selfish and conniving and a person like that isn't someone you want around a person like that in our lives no matter what role they play is. Simply for what they stand to gain. They're not the type of person to give your life to so if you reveal one early enough remember to stand clear of them, they break the Myriad of promises. They make to enter our lives playing the part of a devil we know. Thanks for listening to devil. We know we will be back next Friday the brand new episode. Also stay tuned.
