Multiple local law enforcement agencies were needed to link a string of unsuspecting deaths to one of the most prolific serial killers in Texas history.
Season 2, episode 4, indicting evil with Kelly Sheegler, is accused of Billy Kemil, a Kenyan murderer who was accused of suffocating nearly 20 elderly women in several Dallas-area retirement communities. Investigate crime. Most of the vulnerable victims had lost their jewels from people and homes, but were initially believed to have died from natural causes.
That changed in December 2017.
“The question is how many murders he committed, and where is he committed these murders?” A strange Siegler.
Carolyn McPhee’s death in 2017
On December 31, 2017, older woman Carolyn McPhee was unable to arrive at the watch party to watch the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys play, according to their sons Robert and Scott McPhee. When she didn’t attend church and Cole couldn’t answer, Scott McPhee said, “It was very clear that something was wrong.”
The horrors of her sons came to light when she found a “sweet, sweet woman” dead on the bedroom floor of her Plano mansion about 20 miles north of Dallas.
First responders and law enforcement members found no signs of a struggle that McPhee deemed dead in old age. However, the horrifying sons realized that the mother’s jewels, including her wedding ring, were not with her body.
Officials speculated that it is not uncommon for older people to hide valuables.
Police are called to local attacks on Mary Bartel
Less than three months after McPhee’s apparently inconspicuous death, on March 19, 2018, Plano Police reported from the retired community that officials were unable to wake up 90-year-old Mary Bartel. It has been responded to. The responder rushed Bartel to an area hospital and when she woke up she described the miserable ordeal.
“Around 8:30am, she is walking to the front door after hearing a constant knock,” Detective Paul Martinez charged the evil. “When she goes to the door, the suspect pushes him down the path.”
Bartel said she complied with the intruder’s request to get on the bed before choking her with a pillow and unconscious.
Like McPhee, her wedding rings and other rings were missing from her fingers.
When investigators visited Bartel’s residence, they promoted suspicion when her neighbor, Anne Conklin, across the hall, passed away just a day ago.
Police canvas Preston Place and learned through management that the son of a resident recently reported a suspicious man sitting in a Nissan Altima for a long time in the senior living community. The son approached the driver, who insisted that he was waiting for a treatment session, but the situation made him uneasy enough to write down the license plate number.
Registration led to Billy Kemirmir.
Find out about Kenyan Billy Kemirmeal
Chemirmir was a Kenyan who came to the United States in the early 2000s. In June 2016, he was arrested for criminal trespassing allegedly pretending to be a healthcare worker at a retirement facility in Dallas, and Martinez said he is not affiliated with the suspect.
As the investigation into the attacks on Macphee, Bartel and Conklin continued, Chemirmir had been sought by authorities on another public poisoning charge. One day after Bartel’s attack, police set up a surveillance mail to watch Chemirmir and witnessed him throwing out a red jewel box in the trash can in his apartment.
A closer look at the jewelry box shows it belonged to the 81-year-old woman Lu Thi Harris, with Chemirmir’s belongings to Harris bracelet, house key and cash. They quickly detained Kemir Meer as detectives went to pay Harris’ visit at her Dallas Plano area home.
When they arrived, the Dallas detectives were already there to respond to Harris’ death, and stated their first assessment that Harris had died of natural causes. Plano investigators requested that Chemirmir be in custody and authorities watch again.
“They went back inside and found lipstick painted on Lou Ti Harris’ pillow,” according to Martinez, indicating that the victim (like Bartel) had been choking.
A murder investigation is underway.
A receipt found at Harris’s home led the detective to his local Walmart. There, surveillance video reportedly led to the capture of Kemir Meal.
Martinez, as seen in video-recorded interviews, is that even when the line of questions shifted from a prominent warrant to Harris and others, Kemir Meer is “happy” and is being held while in custody. He said there were no concerns while he was there. Chemirmir appears eager to help the police and allows them to take his cell phone.
Chemirmir denied any involvement in the woman’s death, but was charged with Lu Thi Harris’ capital murder and Mary Bartel’s attempted murder.
Police reveal the murder of Mary Brooks
Detectives continued to see the deaths of elderly people who could have been incorrectly classified as natural passages, and soon discovered the January 31 death of 87-year-old Mary Brooks. And before Conklin.
Brooks was found dead after his grandson had done a wellness check and was believed to have died of natural causes, like others.
As seen in bodycam footage from the death scene, the responders discovered that a new bag of grocery and a receipt proof of Brooks was at Walmart shortly before her death. Not only was Harris’ allegedly stalking it at Walmart, where the chemist was captured, but the camera placed the suspect at the same time as Brooks.
“When Mary Brooks was there, PD Richardson was able to show the video on a parked video in connection with where Billy Kemirmir parked,” Martinez said he would prosecute the evil. “When Mary Brooks returned to her car, you were silver Nissan Ultima, considered to be Billy Kemil’s vehicle, went out with her and followed behind her, and soon she died. I see that it turns out.”
Law enforcement agencies such as Plano, Dallas and Richardson have launched task forces.

Litigation against Billy Kelmir
Shannon Dion, whose 92-year-old mother, Doris Gleason, was estimated to have died of natural causes in 2016, said that she was “strung on the floor” when she was contacted by the task force in 2018. Ta. Others were connected to Chemirmir.
In addition to the fact that the jewelry found on Chemirmir’s property belongs to the deceased’s relatives, data extracted from Chemirmir’s mobile phones have been found to have been reported to include two murder victims, including 22 murder victims and two murder victims. He helped climb to the attempted murder death.
“This makes Billy Kemil one of the most frightening, prolific serial killers in Texas history,” Siegler said.
Prosecutor Glenn Fitzmartin, the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office, believes that the state’s best shot at Kemirmeer, who was convicted of the crime, belongs to Lou Ti Harris single He said that the evil would be linked to a powerful case.
“It was extremely frustrating that Mama’s case hasn’t been tested, but I also recognize the need for the strongest case,” Dion said. “The goal was to get those beliefs. If that wasn’t the case with my MA, then OK.”
The ry umpire’s choice began on November 12, 2021, three years after Harris’ death, and the rapidly approximating COVID-19 pandemic will seriously hinder court protocols. Siegler grew up, especially concerned that the ju-referee would “not get a real touch of who’s pain, suffering and frustration.”
Harris’ murder was one of the circumstances, claiming that Kemir Meal bought Harris’ jewelry from the seller and continued to deny that he had a role in her death. However, the prosecutor relied on GPS and mobile phone data, and he was placed in a place of interest compared to the suspected victim.
“What the (prosecutor) experts can say is that the device they believed belonged to Billy Kemir is being pinged into a particular area or that it is Billy himself. That’s what it is. “It’s just a device.”
According to the Associated Press, prosecutors also relied on the deposition of Mary Bartel, a survivor Mary Bartel.
“I heard this very persistent rap at the door,” Bartel said in a video recording depository. “The door was open inside and my eyes were staring at these green rubber gloves. I knew right away the number one. I shouldn’t have opened the door. Second place, my life was in serious danger.”
The defense team, including Warren and the other two, is accented when Bartel can’t identify the attacker’s face and tells her to get on the bed (as if the thick one chemist had) He claimed he did not mention the
Eventually, the ju umpire finds himself stuck 11-1, and fraud is declared.
Billy Kemil’s second murder trial
Dallas County Criminal and Criminal District Attorney John Kleuzot joined Fitzmartin on his second attempt to convict Harris’ murder charge from April 12, 2022, after Covid 19 restrictions were lifted. Unlike the first trial, the ju judges showed that the relaxed help version of the Chemil Meal claimed that they purchased Harris jewelry from a third party.
“When they didn’t interview them in their arrests, it was a game changer because he couldn’t lie without cross-examination,” Dion said.
Still, the defense questioned whether the state could prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, and pointed out that all evidence against chemistry was merely circumstantial.
Ultimately, the ju judge discovered that the chemist was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
“I get goosebumps when the ju-degree offers confidence that he is guilty,” Dion recalled the verdict. “There’s a flood of relief like this.”
Since Chemirmir’s conviction, Dion, Macphee Sons and more victim children have united in creating a nonprofit foundation, ensuring the safety of seniors (SOSS) and highlighting vulnerability in senior communities We aim to ensure safety.
“When I worked through that mom, Mama was the eighth victim in three and a half months, and this is what happened with the other three respected properties of the Metroplex. That’s something that changed. It was when I knew I had to,” Dion prosecuted evil.
On October 7, 2022, Billy Kemirmeer was tried and convicted for the murder of Mary Brooks. A year later he was murdered behind a bar.
