The victim told police she and Quate met in Illinois but had moved to Las Vegas. She accused Quate of abusing her for years.
“She stated that her husband was extremely abusive and had forced her to go out and solicit herself for prostitution and also was physically abusive to the children,” said Lt. Raymond Spencer, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police. “She also gave us very disturbing details that she was not allowed to communicate with the children. She was forced to stay in a bedroom. The children could not speak with her and also that the children were never allowed to leave the house.”
The surviving children are now in protective custody and did show signs of abuse, according to Las Vegas Police. The investigation is continuing. Centreville police have turned the case over to Belleville Police because investigators say it’s believed the child died in Belleville before her body was left in Centreville.
