Sheila Deviney was a single mother of two and a recent college graduate who lived next door to her parents in Maysville, Garvin County, Oklahoma. On Tuesday, January 6th, 2004, after she had dropped off her children at school, Sheila was brutally murdered in broad daylight by a group of persons who  subdued her, packed flammable material around her in her trailer home, doused her with accelerants and burned her alive.

Six years after Sheila’s death,in 2010, the Office of the State Medical Examiner threatened to incinerate portions of Sheila’s remains kept following her autopsy for potential future forensic tests, citing storage space concerns. These remains amount to small samples of tissue and blood roughly the size of a deck of playing cards or smaller.

The Devineys have joined other families from all over the state in demanding our tax dollars be spent wisely in reforming the Medical Examiner’s Office into the kind of separate, capable and forthright agency that Sheila Deviney, and all Oklahomans, deserve.

Trisha Stemple Justice Served as the State of Oklahoma Executes Her Killer

 

In the early morning hours of October 24, 1996, Trisha Stemple, was brutally murdered. Her body was left on the side of U.S. Highway 75 in Tulsa County, Oklahoma.

Her husband  Timothy Shaun Stemple was charged and convicted of the killing of his wife.

At trial the prosecutor's case was strong proving to a jury Timothy Stemple concocted a plan to terminate the life of his wife, Trisha Stemple, and to collect her life insurance proceeds. Stemple was having an extra-marital affair with Dani Wood. Dani Wood had a sixteen year old cousin, Terry Hunt. According to Hunt, Stemple offered him $25,000 to $50,000 to help kill Trisha (if they collected the insurance money).  Hunt recruited another person, to assist in the plan. Nat Helm and Hunt went to Wal-Mart where they purchased a baseball bat and plastic wrap. The
plastic wrap was wrapped around the bat to keep the bat from getting bloody.
On October 10, 1996, Hunt and Helm went to the designated location on highway
75 and waited for Stemple and his wife to arrive. A while later Stemple drove up and
told Helm and Hunt that Trisha was ill and he could not get her to accompany him.

Two weeks later, Stemple arranged for Hunt to drive Stemple’s pickup to a particular
location on highway 75 and leave the hood up. Stemple and Trisha arrived in their
black Nissan Maxima. Stemple began working on the truck and Trisha stood next to
the truck. Hunt came up behind Trisha and hit her in the head with the bat. The blow
did not render Trisha unconscious, so Stemple took the bat and hit her several more
times.

Stemple and Hunt then placed Trisha’s head in front of the front tire of the pickup
and attempted to run over her head, however, the tire would not roll over Trisha’s
head so her head was pushed along the pavement. After this, Trisha tried to get up.
Stemple grabbed the bat and hit her several more times. The pair then placed Trisha’s
body under the truck and drove over her chest. Trisha rose up on her
elbows, so Stemple hit her again several times with the bat.

Stemple then went back to the black Nissan and drilled a hole in the front tire to
make it look as if Trisha’s car had a flat. One expert testified that the hole in the tire
had spiral striations consistent with drilling. Stemple and Hunt left in the pickup, but
decided to turn around to make sure Trisha was dead. When they got back to the spot
where they left Trisha, they noticed that she had crawled into the grass beside the
road. Stemple then sped up and ran over Trisha as she lay in the grass.

Trisha’s body was found later that morning, after Stemple called reporting that she
was missing. The autopsy evaluation revealed that Trisha had fractures to her arm,
ribs, pelvis, vertebrae and skull. The medical examiner concluded that Trisha died
from blunt force trauma to the head.

After years of unsuccessful appeals, today, at 6:00 PM Central time Timothy Shaun Stemple will be executed by lethal injection for the murder of Trisha Stemple.

On a Website called FreeShaun.com a letter written by Stemple on March 5, 2012, claiming his innocence  posted for the world to read.  A jury sent a message when Trisha Stemple, mother of two was brutally murdered.  Trisha's voice silenced, as so many victims of intimate partner violence leading to homicide are, across the county by those who profess to love them.  The Governor of Oklahoma as of yesterday, does not intend on issuing a stay of execution for Stemple.

Today, Trisha Stemple has the last word as the angels sound their horns for justice!

PILOT #1 The Susan Powell Case

PILOT #2 The Sheila Deviney Case

Let producers know what cases/what guests

YOU would like to see on the new show.

Tonight on Murphy's Justice case of Sheila Deviney, found burned to death in her Maysville, Oklahoma home in January, 2004. Her death was originally categorized as an accident, but later deemed a homicide which is still unsolved. Through the years the family of Sheila Deviney have tirelessly sought justice, all the while meeting obstacles along the way as her case has grown cold.

Sadly this case is all too common. Victims of intimate partner violence who seek custody of their children and have taken steps to end a relationship before, during or as in Sheila Deviney's case after a divorce are silenced by their abusers.

There is a $50,000 reward being offered to anyone who comes forward with information that will put the killer(s) behind bars. But first, the good people of Garvin County need to start demanding answering because as of now Sheila Deviney's homicide case is not being investigated.

Oklahoma's New Law: Finally, Justice For The Dead

Its been just over a year since I was in Pauls Valley Oklahoma with the families of the Justice For The Dead site. A group whom came together for one sole purpose, to reform the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office headed up by attorney Jaye Mendros.

This past week the Chanda Turner Reform Act went into law. Families will now have the opportunity to appeal their loved ones' death certificates. Numerous cases across the State in which the Medical Examiners Office rubber stamped death certificates as suicides, many without autopsies or proper testing. Some of their actions were political corrupt. Contaminated and even manufactured crime scene's appeared in the majority of the cases.

One of many disturbing, still unsolved cases to benefit from the new law is the intimate partner homicide of Sheila Deviney 30, who died on January 6, 2004, when her mobile home, located about one mile east and one mile south of Maysville, Oklahoma, burned to the ground. She was murdered. It should be no surprise that Sheila had been married to an abusive, controlling man. They had a court date over past-due child support scheduled the next day. According to eye witnesses, her ex-husband was at the home, although by law not allowed on the premises. He and others according to recorded, notarized and sworn affidavit statements I have in a secure location from eye witnesses attest to certain individuals leaving Sheila's property as flames jumped into the sky. Witnesses say those person's allegedly destroyed evidence and took items from the home.

Since the murder of Sheila, her parents Dave and Susan Deviney have worked along side the other families seeking justice. Sheila's case has more twists and turns than a tornado.

Tissues sample's from the fire need to remain in tact and not destroyed as threatened by the Medical Examiners office within the next few months. This is the only tangible evidence. Law enforcement allowed a suspect to destroy physical evidence within days of the massive fire that took Sheila's life.

Is it a coincidence that the spokesperson for the Medical Examiner's office, Cherokee Ballard resigned on the very day this law went into affect?

Susan Murphy Milano and Jaye Mendros stand with the families

Last year the Crime Wire Team shined a light onto the plight of families dealing with the corruption and ineptitude of the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office. Several families seeking justice for their deceased loved ones banded together, along with Oklahoma City attorney, Jaye Mendros, and formed Justice For The Dead to publicize the need for reform. Out of that union The Chanda Turner Act came into being, and after a long battle through the Oklahoma legislature, it has been signed by the Governor.

The Crime Wire Team welcomes the parents of Chanda Turner, Joe and Donna Turner, the parents of Kristina Rivera-Hill, Sam and Michele Speziale, and attorney, Jaye Mendros to give our listeners an update on what this means to all of the families in Oklahoma waiting years for justice denied.

For information on these two families as well as many other Oklahoma families, please visit the website,Justice for the Dead.

The Murder of Joseph DiMare

Over five decades, the murder of wealthy produce merchant Joseph DiMare — shot in the head in his white Cadillac in North Miami on March 24th 1961 — has faded into obscurity amid South Florida’s rich crime lore.

But one man won’t let it go. To Richard DiMare, the victim’s 69-year-old son, the murder probe is a cause championed only by him. For the better part of the past three decades, he has flooded police, prosecutors and politicians with angry letters demanding justice.

Our guest, Richard DiMare will highlight this 50 year fight for justice for his father.

Passage of The Chanda Turner Bill in Oklahoma

Little did Donna and Joe Turner realize that justice for the death of their daughter would be such a long road. Chanda Turner was shot in her home on July 12, 2000 and her death was originally ruled a suicide. Despite repeated requests, the family was denied an autopsy for almost 10 years. Knowing they would never give up fighting to get justice for their daughter, her parents buried her in a sealed casket inside a sealed crypt to preserve her body for the day when they could finally get an autopsy.

Since that time the Turners have been fighting, along with several other families, for reform of a Medical Examiner's Office in which appeals for change were not granted. Attorney Jaye Mendros of Oklahoma City was retained to help these families make changes necessary to give them the opportunity to have a legal mechanism to correct all the mistakes in their cases. The Chanda Turner Bill has gone through all the necessary judicial steps, now they await the final step. The will update the team on their journey for justice!

Caravan "Catching a Killer" and DNA

Brutally raped and murdered, Brittany Phillips will never get the chance to experience her mother's warm embrace again. While away at Tulsa Community College, Brittany and her mother, Margaret Zingman, regularly talked every Monday and Thursday. These weekly phone calls would soon end the night a police officer knocked onDr. Margaret Zingman's door, to inform her that her daughter had been raped and murdered.

For Brittany's mother, such violence against her daughter is all too familiar. "All my work did not prepare me for the events of Sept. 30, 2004"
As a psychologist at Mabel Basset Correctional Center, and a trauma therapist for 17 years, Dr.Margaret Zingman could never imagine her personal experiences and work with other victims would run parallel with the death of her daughter. The stories she hears on a daily basis from the women she works with is now a harsh reality for her. With a donated van, Dr. Maggie Zingman prepared for her first road trip in 2007. Since then she has driven to countless states and cities in hopes of catching a killer. Now, thousands of miles, caravan trips, and over 2,000 ruled out DNA possible suspects later, she continues visiting homicide units, college campuses, and sporting events like the PGA tour, passing out the killer's information in hopes someone may provide a tip or a lead.

Her daughter, Brittany Phillips, was found raped and suffocated inside her Tulsa apartment in 2004. Britty, as she's called, was buried on her 19th birthday.

When she has saved up enough vacation days at work, using her own money she carefully plans the road trips driving in towns across America in her SUV, a moving billboard that literally tells the tragic details of a young woman's life abruptly taken away.

Dr. Zingman understands the new technologies that allow tiny bits of DNA found at crime scenes to be scooped up and tested. While on the road she spreads the word of new federal and state laws requiring law enforcement to collect DNA samples from people convicted of-- or simply arrested for -- nonviolent crimes, including shoplifting. She is advocating for every State to do a DNA test upon arrest.

Police have Brittany Phillip's murderer's DNA and because of this "Teflon mom" thousands of men have been tested, but no killer has been found, leaving Brittany's mother motivated to continue to ride in search of the man who brutally took her child's life. Some would argue that Maggie is looking for a needle in a haystack and the killer may be never be found. "Once chance in a million, is better than no chance at all."

Dr. Maggie Zingman plans to do another road in a few weeks. She will not stop until Brittany's killer is found.

You can hear her remarkable journey to "catch a killer" at 9:00 PM Eastern Time Tonight on Crime Wire.

"The Garvin County Three" and the Holidays

The phrase :To "kill with a borrowed knife” means borrowing other people's power to help you eliminate a threat. When you lack power or don’t want to reveal yourself, you will borrow a "knife" (from an outside force) to eliminate a threat. By doing this, you are using other people's power for your own gain.  And in the unsolved cases of the "Garvin County Three," in Oklahoma , the borrowed knife was also used after each crime to sign off on each case with the assistance of the medical examiners office as suicide's, rather then homicides .

This holiday season I would like to remind those responsible directly or overtly involved in the deaths of the "Garvin County Three"  Chanda Turner, Sheila Deviney and Tom Horton to enjoy the upcoming holiday with your families.  Those of you whom now have lawyers waiting in the background I hope that one of you consider coming forward with the truth when you are either contacted and unexpectedly visited and questioned in the next couple of months.  Maybe in cooperating you will be able to enjoy future holidays with your family, something that I assure you will not happen for the others whom have, enjoyed their freedom and up until recently gotten away with murder.
