Pamela Ann Wojas was born in Coral Gables, Florida. She was the second of three children, with her sister Elizabeth, six years older, and her brother John, three years younger. Her father worked as a commercial airline pilot, while her mother worked part-time as a legal secretary.
Smart combined her passion for heavy metal music with her career aspirations. She hosted a one-night-a-week radio show at WVFS that she called “Metal Madness", using the alias "Maiden of Metal".
Pamela Wojas met Greggory Smart at a 1986 New Year's Eve party. They formed a serious relationship in February 1987 and married two years later. They shared a passion for heavy metal music. Greg bought her a Shih Tzu and she named it "Halen" after her favorite rock group Van Halen. Seven months into the marriage, the Smarts began having serious problems in their relationship. She took a job as a media coordinator at Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, New Hampshire.
Smart met Winnacunnet High School student Billy Flynn at "Project Self-Esteem," a local drug awareness program at the school, in which both were volunteers. She was able to impress him with her interest in heavy metal music. Flynn, a sophomore, was always going out of his way to be helpful during the sessions and also visited Smart every day in her office. Smart also met another intern named Cecilia Pierce, who was friends with Flynn.

Recent events
William Flynn is incarcerated at
the Maine State Prison in Warren, where he earned
his GED, has been active
in charity work and worked as an electrician at the prison. In 2007, Flynn
sought a sentence reduction after serving 16 years, stating that he had vowed
not to do so until he had spent as many years behind bars as he had spent free.
He also apologized to Gregg Smart's family for murdering him. The Smart family
opposed the request. On February 12, 2008, the request was denied,
although Flynn's parole eligibility date was reduced by three years to 25
years, making him eligible for parole in 2015. March 2009, a judge reduced Patrick Randall's
minimum sentence by three years, making him eligible for release in June 2015. T E X T C O M P R E H E N S I O N
