The article examines the later life of William Flynn, Pamela Smart’s teenage former lover who was convicted over the 1990 murder of her husband, Gregg Smart. It presents new photographs and describes him as living a settled life in Maine, while revisiting the case that made both figures nationally notorious.

It says Flynn has reacted to a new legal effort by Smart, whom the article calls a “black widow”, although the supplied text does not specify the nature of that move. Smart was convicted of plotting her husband’s murder and is serving a life sentence, while Flynn received a reduced sentence after cooperating with prosecutors.
