Oklahoma: "The Garvin County Three"

Here in Oklahoma, a light beam is finally shining for the families of Sheila Deviney, Tom Horton and Chanda Turner. For each of the "Garvin County Three" this has been a journey laced with cover-up and corruption. From politicians screaming foul ball when their names are mentioned in the same sentence with these cases, to investigators and law enforcement continuing to shield those still on the force with first hand knowledge of blatant criminal and illegal conduct on all 3 cases, because the brotherhood of the badge is an unspoken code here in Gavin County, Oklahoma, as it is elsewhere.

My time here has been spent going over existing evidence and gathering new evidence in each case. None of which would be possible without the efforts of attorney Jaye Mendros (http://www.justiceforthedead.com/ and Shannon Kile (http://www.theeleventhcommandment.org/), both who have paved the way long before I arrived. For each of these families they have been the heartbeat and hope for justice.

I can say, with conviction, Sheila Deviney, Tom Horton and Chanda Turner, were murdered. My work has never been about the court of public opinion, from the moment I discovered my own mothers body in 1989, my mission was to present just the facts, resulting in justice.

That is all any of "The Garvin County Three" are asking for, justice.

The video of Chanda Turner below is but a small glimpse of what you will hear and see in the coming months.

Imagine for a moment what it took for her parents Joe and Donna Turner to photo from the casket bruises on their daughter's body. Look closely at her bruised and burn marked hands. Chanda Turner fought back with every fiber of her soul to stay alive. Chanda Turner was murdered in cold blood. As a community and a nation, fighting for the truth is the least we can do!

Press Conference:

Sheila Deviney Case and The Garvin County Prosecutor Greg Mashburn

Sheila Deviney, 30, died on Jan. 6, 2004 when her trailer house, 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 was married to an abusive controlling man. They had a court date scheduled the next day. According to eye witnesses, her ex-husband was at the trailer, although divorced, and by law not allowed on the premises, he and another friend destroyed evidence and took items from the home.

Initially her death was ruled accidental. It was only because of her parents, Susan and David Deviney, that the ruling was changed several months later to arson and homicide after a state investigation into cloth and carpet samples near Deviney’s body showed traces of ignitable liquid.

This is a tragic case where the Prosecutors office, the medical examiner and the sheriff doing their “good old boy routine dance” covering up for a murderer. The ex-husband is a former Oklahoma college football star who is now raising the children.


Sheila Deviney, in my opinion, was killed by her former husband.

Just last week Oklahoma County District Attorney Greg Mashburn. Maybe, as the current Prosecutor, Mashburn could blow off the dust on the Shiela Deviney unsolved murder case and do his job. Now there is a concept!

Greg Mashburn took an oath when he was elected into office by the people...... it included justice.

For Shiela Deviney justice is a word that has little meaning to a family that has fought a blind and deaf criminal justice system within the State of Oklahoma.
