Pamela Smart, a former teacher, made headlines for her role in the murder of her husband, Greggory Smart, in 1990. The tragic incident began as a home invasion but was later revealed to have been a carefully planned conspiracy orchestrated by Pamela.
Greggory Smart, born in 1965, was a beloved insurance agent from Nashua, New Hampshire. He met Pamela Wojas in 1986 and the two quickly began a relationship, eventually getting married in 1989. However, their seemingly happy marriage took a dark turn when Gregg was found shot to death in their home in Derry, New Hampshire in 1990.
Initially, it appeared that Gregg was the victim of a home invasion. But as police delved deeper into the case, it became clear that the burglary was staged to cover up a more sinister plot. Pamela was eventually arrested and charged with being an accomplice to first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and witness tampering.
Pamela’s co-conspirators, including her teenage lover Billy Flynn and several other students, were also taken into custody. Flynn, Randall, Fowler, and Lattime Jr. all pleaded guilty to various charges related to Gregg’s murder and were sentenced to prison terms.
Pamela has since been serving her sentence at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women in New York. In a recent video sent to authorities, she expressed remorse for her actions and admitted her role in Gregg’s murder. Despite her appeals for sentence reduction being denied, Pamela continues to reflect on her past mistakes and the consequences of her actions.
The chilling story of Pamela Smart’s murderous plot has been featured in various media outlets, including an episode of Dateline NBC titled Deadly Secret.
