Paula Bohevesky was a junior at Pearl River High School when she was attacked and killed Oct. 28, 1980. (Petition for Paula)
ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY County Executive Ed Day wrote to Chairwoman Tina Stanford of the New York State Board of Parole Monday to request that the board deny parole to killer Robert McCain.
McCain and his accomplice Richard LaBarbera murdered Paula Bohovesky on Oct. 28, 1980. The 16-year-old had left the Pearl River Library where she worked after school, and was walking the two blocks to her home.
McCain, a drifter and career criminal from Arkansas, and LaBarbera, formerly of Orangetown, had spent the day drinking at a local bar, and saw Paula through the window, according to published reports. She was brutally attacked and killed. They were caught, convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
