mysterious deaths of a Poconos husband and wife?
Leonard sisters are left with their own theories, drawn from recollection and sources, that would be difficult to prove today more than 50 years later.
They were just 13, sitting in Pocono Central Catholic School, when the police showed up. It was Sept. 8, 1970, and their father, a World War II veteran, had been shot to death while at the wheel of a taxi at the Inn at Buck Hill Falls, a historic Poconos resort
Less than three years later, on Feb. 22, 1973, Madeleine Leonard’s Pontiac Tempest careened off Route 940 in Mount Pocono, striking several trees. Newspaper accounts at the time said she likely died instantly. Her death was ruled accidental.
She told the girls she’d be chasing down a lead in John’s death before she left that night.
They believe Northeastern Pennsylvania organized crime families, some of the same depicted in Martin Scorsese’s 2019 film The Irishman, may have played a part in John Leonard’s death.
