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.

Do your homework. David Prater is the Oklahoma County District Attorney, not Garvin County. The Oklahoma County District Attorney's office has no jurisdiction in Garvin County.
All they want is for the killer to be found. Why cant people just help? If you had a child murdered wouldn't YOU want it sloved?? Or are you just to stupid in saying do your homework. Say it nicer or get off the website!!
Tim Kuykendall was the District Attorney for District 21 (Cleveland, McClain and Garvin Counties), at the time of this horrific incident. Greg Mashburn was elected in 2007 and is the current District Attorney. He will continue thru 2014 as he had no opponent this year. People are gonna have to stand up and make a change. To rid Garvin County of the inept or corrupt law enforcement. Vote....make that change and move them all out.......
If David Prater were the DA in Garvin County, these cases would have been prosecuted. I would like to see this blog corrected, or taken down and re-written so that an award-winning DA who DOES do his job isn't criticized for cases he has no jurisdiction over.
