The Town Board of Orangetown wishes to express its continuing condolences to, and support for, the family of Paula Bohovesky, who was brutally raped and murdered forty years ago. Paula’ s family asks the New York State Parole Board not to re-release one of her killers, Richard LaBarbera to Peekskill, New York.

Last summer, the NYS Parole Board paroled convicted murder Richard LaBarbera. Initially, he was to be released to Peekskill, but thanks to the work of many, he was brought to Buffalo, NY, where, within a few days, LaBarbera violated conditions of his parole and was sent back to prison.

The Orangetown Board along with County Executive Ed Day and the Rockland County Legislature all support Paula's family request in keeping Paula's murderer as far away as possible from Rockland County.

He is due to be released again on July 23rd.
 
John Murphy has once again created an online petition in memory of Paula and to show her mother Lois, that the Town of Friendly People still remember.
