In 2000, Davlin was handed a sentence for the heinous crime of second-degree murder in the 1993 case involving Tammi Ligenza, a Bellevue woman.

Investigations disclosed that she had been cruelly strangled, and subsequently, her Lincoln apartment was set ablaze.

For his unspeakable acts, Davlin was serving a considerable sentence spanning 55 years to life. This sentence was a culmination of charges against him, which included second-degree murder, arson, and assault. The recent development of his death brings a chapter to a close on a case that had deeply impacted the Nebraska community.
