Police say that Billy Chemirmir smothered his victims with pillows before robbing them. Because his victims were elderly women who lived alone, their deaths were not considered suspicious and initially did not get investigated.
Billy Chemirmir, 46, is accused of murdering a dozen elderly women in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. By Antonia Noori Farzan Antonia Noori Farzan Reporter for the Morning Mix Email Bio Follow May 20 at 6:05 AM Phyllis Payne’s family thought that she had died of natural causes.
The 46-year-old was indicted on numerous homicide charges last week. Police believe he murdered at least a dozen elderly women, which would make him one of the state’s most prolific serial killers, according to the Dallas Morning News. Officials began reevaluating the deaths of hundreds of elderly women in the Dallas-Fort Worth area last year, suspecting that they might have overlooked a pattern of homicides. The investigation began in March 2018, not long after a 91-year-old woman was attacked and robbed in her Plano, Tex., apartment.
Inside, they found a name written on a piece of paper, which they linked to Lu Thi Harris, an 81-year-old living less than 10 miles away in Far North Dallas. No one at her home answered the door, and when police made their way inside, they found Harris dead in her bedroom with lipstick smeared around her mouth. A pillow lying on the bed also had lipstick stains on it, leading investigators to conclude that she had been suffocated.
When they learned that Chemirmir had been arrested, police in Frisco checked his phone records. As it turned out, his cellphone had connected with a cell tower roughly a half-mile from the woman’s apartment on the day of the attack, according to the Morning News. The initial results of that investigation were revealed to the public last week, when Chemirmir was indicted on an additional six capital murder charges in Dallas County and five capital murder cases in Collin County, where Frisco and Plano are located. In Dallas County, where he already faced charges for the March 2018 murder of Lu Thi Harris, he is accused of killing an additional six women who ranged in age from 76 to 94, and who died in 2016 and 2018.
