By Ammon Swenson, Alaska Public Media: Discussing ‘The Queen of Fairbanks’ with author Tricia Brown | State of Art
When first meeting Irene Sherman, there’s no doubt that she would have left a lasting impression. She would dress in heavy layers of assorted clothing, riding her adult tricycle around town with a beer stein tied to her waist. Irene was well-known around Fairbanks and could be seen taking part in parades as she confidently waved like a monarch. While she wasn’t quite homeless and maintained her independence, she lived rough and members of the community would help her out. Her past life was a mystery to even those who knew her—especially how she came to be covered in extensive burn scars or the other tragedies she experienced.

In her new book, “The Queen of Fairbanks: Extraordinary Family Secrets and Untold Stories of America’s Farthest North Bag Lady,” author Tricia Brown combines her journalistic approach to uncovering truth with personal reflections about her own experiences with Sherman. Brown tells us about Sherman’s legacy, tragedies and uncovered mysteries.

KTUU: Final defendant in Thunderbird Falls murder case pleads guilty

By Casandra Mancl
Published: May. 17, 2024 at 12:42 PM AKDT|Updated: 55 minutes ago

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Kayden McIntosh, the man accused of pulling the trigger in the brutal 2019 killing of Cynthia Hoffman, has pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder. All other charges were dismissed for McIntosh.

McIntosh is the fourth and final defendant involved in the murder to change their plea. This comes after Darin Schilmiller and Denali Brehmer were sentenced to 99 years each for their part in the killing earlier this year. Both Schilmiller and Brehmer have appealed their sentences according to online court records.

Caleb Leyland already changed his plea to guilty to one count of second-degree murder in November 2023. His sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 23. McIntosh is set to be sentenced Nov. 14.

McIntosh’s plea agreement would permit him to be sentenced to a minimum of 30 years, with a maximum of 85 years.

The charges against McIntosh come from the murder of Hoffman near Thunderbird Falls in Chugiak on June 2, 2019. Hoffman was 19 at the time of her death.

The murder included a group of teenagers who are accused of being “catfished” by Schilmiller to execute the killing for a large amount of money. McIntosh was 16 years old at the time of the crime.
