Casey Devol sentenced to 97 years in prison for double homicide, animal cruelty

Last month, Casey Devol pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder, including his sister, and one of animal cruelty. Monday, a Douglas County judge sentenced him to 97 years in prison.

On Feb. 8, 2022, deputies responded to a call about two dead victims in unincorporated Douglas County.

Deputies found the bodies around 1:24 p.m. in the garage of a Franktown home in after an individual had stopped by to do business with one of the residents.

The two were later identified as 32-year-old Jessica Mitchell and her boyfriend, 34-year-old Bryan Gray.

According to a Monday news release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, after reviewing surveillance footage, deputies saw a suspect carrying multiple firearms into the garage. A family friend was able to identify the man as 31-year-old Casey Devol.
