The State of Oklahoma Holds Justice Hostage for Sheila Deviney


On Wednesday, the unsolved homicide case of Sheila Deviney, murdered on January 6, 2004, was featured on The Roth Show.  Joining us for the hour were Sheila's parents, Susan and David Deviney.  Running for election in 2010, then candidate and now Garvin County Sheriff, Larry Rhodes, promised to open up the investigation if, and when ,he was elected into office.  Sheriff Rhodes campaign platform was the combined cases of the "Garvin County Three", which included Sheila Deviney.

In September the State of Oklahoma plans on destroying the only tangible evidence, tissue samples that tell the story.  How is it possible to destroy evidence from an unsolved homicide?  The pictures below were taken after the fire in which Sheila Deviney died.  They tell the truth along with other important information. There is no doubt, this case is an intimate partner homicide.

Please take time to download and listen to the podcast of the show.

At some point in the near future there is a possibility I will be returning to Garvin County as I did in the fall of 2010.  Hopefully, OSBI, The Attorney's General's Office and others in the state will provide assistance for the Deviney family.  All the family wants is justice.  Is that to much to ask?

Wonderful People Are Capable of Murder, Too!


In 1979, DNA technology was not available.

Across the country many boxes of important DNA evidence Continue to sit in crime storage facilities as budgets are cut and law enforcement agencies are without the resources or manpower to work a cold case, especially if it was 33 years old.

In Beaver County, PA, investigators worked the 1979, unsolved homicide of Catherine Janet Walsh, 23 years old found by her father, her hands bound, cause of death, strangulation.

On Sunday, police arrested and charged Bridgewater Councilman Gregory Scott Hopkins, 65 with her murder. Investigators on the case resubmitted evidence to a crime lab using new technology.  The Councilman's DNA was on the rope used to bound Catherine's hands, bed sheets and nightgown.

The symphony has already begun playing the "he's a citizen of good standing" musical arrangement.  Words to music written by a "once" respectable businessman.

This case shows how easy it can be to get away with murder.  There are a lot of unsolved cold and missing persons cases across the country where law enforcement could solve cases of intimate partner homicide but don't for one reason or another.  Can you imagine how many so called "wonderful people" are living in your community?

The population of "wonderful, amazing people" are not immune from committing the perfect crime.  Those who murder a lover, girlfriend or spouse are quite often pillars in their community and do hold positions of importance or power.

What does a person who commits intimate partner homicide look like?   Looks like the town of Bridgewater has a vacant council seat to fill!

Missing Person's case of Vernon Cameron Jones: More Questions Then Answers

"Vernon Cameron Jones, an aspiring actor who moved to Manhattan after graduating from the University of North Carolina, mysteriously disappeared nearly two decades ago. To this day, detectives, private investigators and his family search desperately for lingering clues that might lead to Vernon’s recovery."

Yesterday, on the Roth Show, along with Management Resources LTD of New York , a private investigation firm headed up by retired police Lt. Robert Rahn, we discussed the missing person's case of Vernon Cameron Jones and a family whom continues to seek the truth.

We learned the story told by the 3 individuals with Vernon on the night of January 2, 1993, was a fabricated tale told out of fear. After 18 long years, the trio continues to tell the same story. Chances are someone outside the group of these three may hold the key to where his remains can be located. And if they would consider coming forward by providing information that cannot be traced back to them, the family would very much appreciate it. All someone needs to do is call 1-800-490-2267.

Now with Management Resources LTD of New York's involvement and the recently completed DNA profile using Vernon's baby teeth kept by his mother, the flame for hope continues to burn brightly in this case.

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.

Tina Adovasio and Kelly Rothwell: Intimate Partner Violence Leads to Homicide

“If you are reading this and find yourself in a similar situation, know that there are measures you must take before announcing the end of your relationship. These safety precautions can be found in the book, "Time's Up: A Guide on How to Leave an Abusive and Stalking Relationship" by Susan Murphy Milano. Don't take things into your own hands without expert guidance.” (Mothers Are Vanishing)



This morning the body of Tina Adovasio, nurse and mother of 4, from Bronx, New York, was discovered in a wooded area. Tina was in an intimate partner violence relationship that tragically ended in homicide; her estranged husband, a former cop. He was stripped of his police powers back in 2000 due to domestic violence charges filed by his first wife. He has refused to cooperate with police. Police tried to get a sample of his DNA earlier, he refused. As of this post he has not be charged with her murder.

(Tina Adovasio)

Today, yet another tragedy; a former cop’s girlfriend from Indian Rocks Beach, Florida is nowhere to be found.

Kelly Rothwell, (pictured below), a police cadet, was last seen Saturday, March 12, 2011. Her live-in-boyfriend, David Perry, is a recently retired New York Correctional Officer. According to accounts, Perry had a very bad temper and was controlling and abusive with Kelly Rothwell.



Kelly was going back to the home she shared with Perry on Saturday to inform him it was over (this cost is what resulted in the taking of her life by this obsessed offender). She told him she was moving out and on with her life. That is the last time anyone has heard from her. Perry was the last person to see her alive. According to law enforcement, this coward fled to New York, he refuses to cooperate with authorities, playing the offender's game of "catch me if you can." In my expert opinion, he killed her as sure as I am writing this post! In my opinion, law enforcement must not waste precious time they need to consider the following:

  • For the Sheriff's office in Indian Rocks Beach Florida, time is important if they are to obtain evidence that may already be lost. Her car has already been located and there is likely not much in the way of evidence, Perry is too smart for that.
  • Law Enforcement need to obtain a warrant and have Perry's car impounded.
  • If his plates are Florida, they will have an easier time, it depends on what residence he has on the drivers license. Kelly Rothwell's cell phone pings need to be captured immediately.
  • A warrant needs to be issued immediately by a Florida Judge so law enforcement can gain access into the condo. They can also serve the condo association and gain immediate access. The trap to all the sinks (elbow) need removed to be tested to see if there is blood still there. The same goes for the showers and bath tubs in the unit.
  • Garage shoots and dumpsters on the property need to be gone through, regardless of whether or not a pick-up has occurred, they might pick up traces of blood.
  • A search team with dogs needs to be dispatched to the nearby landfill, immediately.
  • Cameras on the property or from surrounding buildings need to be checked.
  • Sun Pass toll activity on his car needs to be investigated because he went through tolls to get to New York.
  • Gas stations and ATMs within the area of the condo with a description of his car is also a way to detect activity. He had to gas up someplace-check his and her credit card activity.
  • Home depot and hardware store activity should be checked.
  • DNA from his personal items: shaver/razor, toothbrush, hairbrushes, combs
  • Get a warrant of her cell phone changes are he texts the hell out of her before she is killed
Go to the clerk office in New York and look to see his prior criminal history. He is a repeat offender as it relates to prior relationships. His pattern of conduct constant texts, stalking, monitoring of her on-line activity 30 days before he takes her life should be important in law enforcements investigation of this case.

I cannot stress enough, if you are in a relationship that has a history of violence, simply mustering up the courage to confront the person and say it is over, without the proper tools, can cost you, your life! Don't make the same mistake as Kelly Rothwell, look at the video below and prepare, before you confront someone that the relationship is over.
One of the major reasons women stay in abusive relationships is fear. They are afraid of what will happen to them and their children if they leave. Sadly, their fears are often justified; statistics show that a woman is at the greatest risk for injury when she announces her plans or leaves an abusive relationship.

The book "Time's Up A Guide on How To Survive and Abusive and Stalking Relationship" is the prescription, if you will, that every person must obtain before they announce they are leaving. Below is an example from Chapter 4, one of many unique tools provided in the book. It is available on Amazon.com, or you can purchase via e-book or on a cd.

Unearthing The Truth in Suspicious Death, Murder and Billy's Law:The Susan Murphy Milano Show Live June 16, 2010 at 4:00 PM EST and 3:00 PM Central




Our guests today on the show are: Janice Smolinski, whose son, Billy has been missing under suspicious circumstances since August 24, 2004. If ever there was a missing person’s case where everything could go wrong, it did for the Smolinskis. From a police department who was reluctant to take a report, to losing precious DNA evidence several times, to Jan herself being arrested, fingerprinted with a mugshot, and sued. All of these circumstances did not sway her from her faith and her hope that Billy will be found and justice will be served. Her son's disappearance led her to knock on the doors of her Congressmen and with her determination and the help of Congressman Chris Murphy, The Help Find The Missing Act (Billy's Law) was introduced. http://justice4billy.com/

Monica Caison , the Founder of Community United Effort, known as CUE Center for Missing Persons based in Wilmington, NC.

Crime Wire Live Tuesday June 15, 2010 at 9:00 PM EST and 8:00 PM Central



The Crime Wire team, Vito Colucci Jr., Private Eye and author, Denny Griffin, retired Investigator and Author, and Susan Murphy Milano, Violence Expert and Author are there-- On top of the crime -- at the top of their game.
Our guests for a power packed hour will be:

Tricia Griffith, owner of Websleuths, the Internet site that brings crime cases in the news and public eye long after the media has forgotten they need to be solved!

Famed Defense Attorney Mickey Sherman will be on the hot seat tonight discussing what else; defending the thugs, rapists and cold blooded killers.

This case involves one of those rather rare instances in which murder charges were brought and convictions attained when the victim’s remains had not been found. It is also somewhat unique in that the victim was a powerful organized crime figure. William “Wild Bill” Cutolo was the underboss of New York City’s Colombo crime family. His disappearance and presumed murder in 1999 caused his son to turn from a life of crime to become a cooperating government witness, whose work with law enforcement helped to bring about the arrests and convictions of his father’s killers in 2007

Janice Smolinski will discuss The Help Find the Missing Act (Billy’s Law) for families because it is one of the most important national pieces of legislation that will benefit the families of missing persons. With a grass roots effort started by the mother of missing Billy Smolinski, Janice Smolinski lives the nightmare shared with thousands across the country and millions worldwide. She has worked non-stop through the process of our government to bring this change for all.

President of Imagine Publicity, “Delilah,” creator of the crime suvivors and victim's rights blog "Time'sUp",she stands, supports and spreads important awareness on many issues, including missing persons, domestic violence, mothers without custody, human trafficking, self-defense, and victim’s rights.

Al Dressler Technology Expert and Crime Wire consultant will also weigh in on the rapid pace of technology in criminal cases.

Time: 9:00 PM EST 8:00 PM CST 6:00 PM PST

The number to call in with questions or comments is 1-646-478-0982

We profile a variety of cases each week, including cold cases, suspicious deaths, and current solved and unsolved murders.

If you are interested in having your case brought to the attention of the Crime Wire Team you can email us with cases, suggestions and comments at our email: thecrimewire@gmail.com

Link to Listen to the show Live http://www.blogtalkradio.com/crimewire

Our goal is to bring attention to those cases in which justice may not have been served and the families of the victims don’t have the resources to pursue the investigations on their own. Together we can make a difference.
