Following the sentence, Deputy County Attorney Phil Kleine said, “What happened to Mr. Quigley was tragic and brutal. We appreciate the court giving an appropriate sentence for Ms. Cooke’s actions in the murder.”
On June 26, 2018, Bellevue Police Officers found Quigley deceased where he lay near his front door with at least 20 stab wounds.
The county attorney's office said that Alisia Cooke planned with Christopher Reagan and Raymond Davis to rob Quigley. She went into Quigley’s home and, while he was distracted, unlocked the front door for Reagan and Davis to enter the home. After Reagan and Davis entered, Reagan proceeded to stab Quigley which resulted in Quigley’s death. Reagan, Davis, and Cooke then stole Quigley’s property.
Reagan previously pleaded guilty for his involvement and a Sarpy County Jury previously convicted Davis of first-degree murder.
