Former WMUR Reporter Releases Book on LaBarre Murders

November 17, 2008

The first of two true crime books about convicted murderer Sheila LaBarre has already been released.

The book, titled Wicked Intentions: The Sheila LaBarre Murders - A True Story (New Horizon Press, Dec. 1, 2008), was written by former WMUR-TV reporter Kevin Flynn, who covered the case from the beginning. Flynn, 38, of Hopkinton, felt from his first night on the story that it could be the case of his career.

LaBarre was convicted in June of this year of murdering and then burning the body of her live-in boyfriend Kenneth Countie, as well as the murder of another boyfriend, Michael Deloge.

A jury rejected the defense case that LaBarre was insane at the time that she killed the two men. After researching her case for more than two years, and meeting her in person, Flynn also has an opinion on LaBarre’s mental status.

“Do I think she’s legally insane or not responsible for her actions? No. I think she belongs in jail. I think the jury got it right,” Flynn said. “But when we talk about the things she does, we use words like crazy, nuts, lunatic, and I think it actually describes her behavior. Just because she’s crazy doesn’t mean she’s legally insane.”
