Michele Linehan and John Carlin were both convicted in the murder of Kent Leppink in 1996. Both of them had received 99 years in prison.... Michele's conviction was overturned in 2010 and the district attorney dropped the murder charge in 2011. John's conviction was also over-turned in 2015. He was beaten to death in 2008 while in prison.
Kent was found shot and killed in a remote area near Anchorage, Alaska. He left a letter behind for his parents. It had said that if anything happened to him. The responsible parties were John Carlin, Scott Hilke and/or Michele Linehan. She was a hot stripper named Michele Hughes who had stayed inside the same home with these three men. All of them had proposed marriage to her who said "yes" to each one.
Kent was shot three times. There was no DNA evidence connecting John, Scott nor Michele to the crime scene. She was with Scott out-of-state when Kent was killed. He believed that he was used as her alibi. She had returned to Alaska one day before Kent's body was found. Kent's life insurance policy was worth $1 million and Michele was the sole beneficiary. John had bought a similar gun that had killed Kent before the murder. Michele was said to have known about the gun.
Who killed Kent Leppink?
