Wrongful Death Vigil Planned to Mother Killed in Apparent Murder-Suicide

Only days after her death, neighbors and friends are planning a vigil for a Lexington mother killed in an apparent murder-suicide.

For friends like Dolleia Brisco, hearing the horrific news that her friend Tiffany Duiguid had died was devastating.

“I was hurt, crushed…I was lost for words, didn’t know what to do, felt helpless, ” said Dolleia Brisco.

On Friday night, police were called to a home in the 400 block of Whispering Hills Drive. There, they found 32-year-old Duiguid dead inside. She had been shot several times. 44-year-old Keith Plaster was also found dead outside the home from a single shot to the head.

“Tiffany was a outgoing, loving, caring person, ” said Brisco.

Investigators say the two were having an argument when Plaster shot Duiguid. Police say when her 13-year-old son went upstairs to see what happened, Plaster shot the teen before turning the gun on himself.

“You’ve got to check on people, ” said Brisco’s sister, Kyla Beasley.

Now neighbors, along with Tiffany’s friends, are putting together a candlelight vigil and balloon release on Monday. They’ll gather at 6:00 p.m. outside the home on Whispering Hills Drive.

“That’s what it’s all about. This is for everyone to know that she had someone to miss her now that she’s gone, ” Beasley explained.

At last check, Tiffany’s son was still at UK Hospital. He is expected to recover.

Identity Theft Anchorage Woman Sentenced to 42 Months

U.S. Attorney Karen L. Loeffler announced today that an Anchorage woman was sentenced yesterday to 42 months in prison for conspiring to obtain stolen checks and then forging and negotiating the stolen checks at different banks and grocery stores in Anchorage.

 

Victoria Kosetatino, 25, of Anchorage, was sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge Timothy M. Burgess, who also ordered Kosetatino to pay full restitution.

 

According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Aunnie Steward, who prosecuted the case, Kosetatino and Jeremy Tamapolu conspired together to obtain checks stolen from vehicle break-ins, home burglaries, and mail theft, and then forge and negotiate the stolen checks at different banks and grocery stores in Anchorage. They also utilized bank accounts opened in other individuals’ names to pass the stolen and forged checks. Kosetatino was released from a state sentence for similar conduct in November 2015, and started her fraudulent conduct in this case in December 2015, continuing to April 2016, when she was apprehended. Kosetatino and Tamapolu obtained approximately $9,000 before they were apprehended in this case.

At sentencing, Chief Judge Burgess noted that Kosetatino is a serial fraudster that had not been deterred by her prior convictions and sentences for fraud. Chief Judge Burgess also noted the significant impact to the safety of the community from the nature of the thefts and the identity theft.

 

Jeremy Tamapolu is scheduled for trial on March 6, 2017.

 

U.S. Attorney Loeffler commends the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Anchorage Police Department for the investigation of this case.
