The Death of Kent Leppink

Kent Leppink moved to Alaska, becoming a successful boat tender on the Togiak. He was engaged and his father had just made a short trip to town to discuss wedding plans. But after finding a suspicious note on the kitchen counter things unravel. The fiance never showed for the short trip. Soon after his body was found in the woods with three large bullet holes punched into him. It took a decade for the case to go to trial, the outcome left open ended.
