Killed over a pillow
W. Pa. woman accused of killing boyfriend in pillow dispute:
42-year-old Johnna Marie Palya admitted to shooting her boyfriend back in August. However her boyfriend, 43-year-old Barry Pavlicko, died over the weekend from his injuries. Why did she shoot him? Because he stole the pillow that she was planning on sleeping with.
I’d hate to see what she would have done if he hogged the covers.
She also claims that Pavlicko tried to shove her down the stairs. I don’t think police are buying self defense as homicide charges have been filed.
Thanks to Sinthiya for the link.

I just found out about Barrys (who was a friend of ours) death.
Unfortunately, my husband and I (as friends of his) previously experienced the unhealthly and even suicidal rituals of Barry.
As much as we cared for him, he has been on an unstoppable death mission since we last spoke (aprox 10 years ago).
In my true heart belief, this woman should not be charged for his death. Barry has not been happy with life for many years, and it doesn’t sound like anything changed before his untimely death.
He is deeply missed,
Kimberly

I beg to differ with you Mrs Wilson. My name is Haley Pavlicko, Barry is my father and never was he suicidal ever. He may have been unhappy at times years ago, but he was NEVER suicidal. What kind of person writes a comment like this? If he wanted to kill himself he would have done it riding one of his many motorcycles. Not at the hand of some wacko woman. And truley it was not over a pillow. How about if someone killed a family member of yours in a way that she killed him. While he laid in a hospital bed for 2 months suffering and couldn’t speak and could only communicate to me by a blank stare and a once in awhile scribbled paper. What are you a friend or relative of the killer? It sounds like it! And to end your comment by he is deeply missed after writing that. You have problems.
Lastly, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS WHEN IT COMES TO MY DAD!!!!!
I love him!

Ok Kimberly, you miss Barry deeply, but you haven’t seen him in over 10 years. Sound like you had a really close and loving relationship. And you just found out in December, when he died in late October? How’d you hear? And you true to your heart don’t think that Johnna should be charged with his death because, (let me understand this), “She did him a favor”? Do you even have a heart? Since when can you shoot someone in the back of the head and someone say, ” Oh, he wanted to die” so don’t prosecute the person who killed him? Are you kidding me? Did you happen to ever meet the psycho he lived with? Oh probably not since you haven’t seen him in 10 years and she’s been around for 5 or so years? I personally did not care for her, but I put up with her because Barry liked her. And, what may I ask is a Suicide Ritual? And ok let me get this straight, as much as you cared for him he had an unstoppable death mission but it took him over 10 years to to get dead? And it doesn’t sound like anything has changed since you last spoke with him (again 10 years ago). What have you heard? Last I heard he had been living life to the fullest, he and the psycho just returned from a motorcycle trip accross the country in July. One of many long distance trips the two of them took in the last few years. Do you know that they were making plans to move to Colorado?
You should be ashamed of yourself for posting coments like these. I’m sure that Haley was very upset when she read them. Do you know Haley, did you know that Barry had a daughter? A daughter who misses her dad more than anything? No I bet you didn’t think about her when you wrote that downright mean and ignorant comment. With comments as stupid as these, I’d have to question your mentality. I can only hope that Johnna stays in prison for the rest of her life. Thinking long and hard about the day that she thought she was above God and could decide to take someones life. I hope the pain and anquish of doing it haunts her for ever.
From someone who truely does miss Barry. He really was my friend. And I’ve known him for 22 years. (And I’ve kept in touch with him for all 22 of them). Good times and bad times, he never deserved this.
