Recently a witness came forward with a detailed account and description that verified Madeleine Leonard was told what happened to her husband, John Leonard, Sr. and why he was murdered. Madeleine said she was going to the Police after finding out what happened to John Leonard. Because of this, she was lured out and killed in Mt. Pocono.

When I was a kid, The Inn at Buck Hill Falls was a huge part of the community. A lot of kids got part time jobs there. Mine, for a few years, was to be an usher at the Inn movie theater on the lower level. It was huge for a community the size of Barrett Township but other events were also held there. I graduated from high school on its stage. They showed first run films all year long.
