Billy Chemirmir, 46, is accused of murdering a dozen elderly women in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. 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 have said Chemirmir smothered his victims with pillows before making off with their jewelry or other valuables. Because the women were elderly and lived alone, their deaths were not considered suspicious and initially did not get investigated. 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.
