Labor union murders in Sacramento labeled a professional setup
Two Union officials John Duncan and Roger Ekar were found dead in their Sacramento Local 39 office. Investigators connected to the case say the killings appeared meticulously planned and possibly tied to their organizing in casino hubs Reno Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas. They note the contact intended to recruit hospital workers was fake, suggesting a setup. Detective Kelley says no hospital link confirmed. Duncan and Ekar held key roles for Local 39 representing about 500 workers in Northern California and parts of Nevada.
