Wicked Intentions

The Sheila LaBarre Murders

by Kevin Flynn

When investigators are called to the secluded farm of attractive, forty-something Sheila LaBarre, they find the dismembered and incinerated remains of her young lover, a man with a child’s IQ. Neighbors are afraid to talk. A series of young men have come and gone from the farm over the years, all who’ve seemed to vanish into thin air. Now the tempestuous woman is on the run. And even if police could find her, she has obliterated any physical evidence, so proving her guilt seems like an impossible task…

Wicked Intentions puts its own mark on the true crime genre. It is an unforgettable take of brutality and madness, or sensuality and scheming, where everything is not as it seems. The victims are sympathetic. The evidence is taxing. The facts are haunting.

As the Emmy award-winning television reporter who first broke the story of Sheila LaBarre Murders, Kevin Flynn is uniquely positioned, like Ann Rule in The Stranger Beside Me to tell the bizarre chain of events which culminated in one of our nation’s most sensational murder stories – a spellbinding true story of obsession and vigilantism carried to a deadly extreme.

Kevin Flynn has spent eighteen years as a radio and TV journalist. He has won more than fifty broadcast awards, including an Emmy, four Edward R. Murrow Awards and three New Hampshire Magazine’s Best TV Reporter awards. Flynn also taught communications for ten years at New Hampshire’s Hesser College. Currently, Flynn writes for several magazines and works as Public Relations Manager for Griffin, York & Krause. He lives in New Hampshire.
