Update! Daniel Horowitz helps spread this news to a larger audience. Do not miss his take on what is likely the greatest serial murder of vulnerable seniors in US history being completely ignored by corporate media.
If you have been a regular reader here at ‘Frauds and Crooks’the name Billy Chemirmir should conjure up unimaginable horror at the thought of what families whose elderly loved ones were killed by a Kenyan ‘immigrant’ who stalked vulnerable seniors (almost all white women), gained access to their homes, and allegedly killed them for their jewelry must be going through.
But, adding to a nightmare of losing your beloved mother in this way, is the reality that law enforcement, medical examiners and managers of senior living facilities did not see a pattern early enough to save some of the 24 dead seniors.
Delayed partially due to the Chinese virus crisis, two cases (only two!) are expected to be brought to trial in November where prosecutors have decided against going for a death penalty verdict.
From the Dallas Morning Newsthat has done an incredible job of reporting on the case.
Shame on the national corporate media for pulling the curtains down on a case that goes against their narrative—African (new American!) who supposedly came here for a better life is a brutal killer of our most vulnerable loved ones.
Serial killer Billy Chemirmir has been charged in the murders of 18 seniors, but it is believed that the number of victims (so far) is 24.
Dallas County DA tells victims’ families why he won’t seek death penalty for alleged serial killer
Dallas County prosecutors say they will seek life in prison — not the death penalty — for Billy Chemirmir, who is charged with killing 18 elderly North Texas residents.
And in a strategy that the loved ones of some alleged victims say is difficult to bear, prosecutors also likely will pursue no more than two capital murder cases and seek dismissals for the remaining cases if they win convictions, a decision that has rattled the victims’ families.
District Attorney John Creuzot’s office had filed paperwork nearly two years ago saying that prosecutors would seek the death penalty against him. Authorities say Chemirmir, 48, used his experience as a health-care worker to target older victims, smothering them and stealing their valuables.
In a statement, Creuzot’s office said he spoke with victims’ families last month and explained that he hoped to secure convictions against Chemirmir in two jury trials, each with an automatic sentence of life in prison without parole, and ask a judge to order that those sentences be served consecutively.
“In effect, there will be no chance for Mr. Chemirmir to die anywhere except in a Texas prison,” the DA’s office said.
According to a recording of that meeting obtained by The Dallas Morning News, Creuzot told families that the time involved in preparing for a death penalty case would be too great to pursue.
For example, he said, lawyers from the defense and the prosecution would likely have to travel to Kenya to track down potential witnesses and records to learn more about Chemirmir’s past.
Really! So every time an immigrant is on trial in a death penalty case we must send lawyers back to the hellhole they came from, for what? to find out if he was a killer there too? What difference does that make if he is found guilty of killing Americans?
Chemirmir is a Kenyan immigrant. He could face deportation if released. [Big deal! He should have been deported for crimes committed before his murder spree because all evidence points to immigration fraud for his presence here in the first place!—ed]
“I don’t know how long that would take,” Creuzot said in the meeting. “I don’t even know if we can get into those countries with COVID-19.”
My guess is that they want all this behind them. The case goes against the welcoming America message and showcases (in my opinion) poor judgement by those in authority and a series of careless investigations by law enforcement.
All of Chemirmir’s victims were white except, Harris who is Vietnamese.
Fitzmartin [Prosecutor Glen Fitzmartin] said he would try two cases, including the murder of Lu Thi Harris in March 2018. Chemirmir was arrested by Plano police as a suspect in an attempted murder after officers said they saw him throw a jewelry box in a nearby dumpster. The jewelry box had Harris’ name and address, which sent police to her home. She was found dead on her bed. A pillow nearby was smeared with lipstick.
This is the first I have heard about Chemirmir following victims at a local Walmart.
Fitzmartin told families that along with the jewelry box, prosecutors have video footage of Chemirmir following Harris at a Walmart just before her death.
“Although it is circumstantial, it is my strongest circumstantial case,” Fitzmartin said in the meeting.
Fitzmartin also told families he may also pursue the murder of Mary Brooks in Richardson in January 2018, but that he hasn’t decided. Fitzmartin said Brooks and Chemirmir were also seen at the same Walmart before her death, and that a photo on his phone matched a ring similar to hers.
[….]
But the district attorney’s decision to not pursue the other cases for a conviction, some families said, was a bigger surprise.
Before, they had hoped, the other cases would be mentioned in a sentencing phase for the death penalty. Now, they worry, the deaths of their loved ones may never be mentioned in court. A capital murder conviction with an automatic sentence of life without parole doesn’t have a sentencing phrase (sic).
“Most of them will be dismissed,” Fitzmartin said in the meeting. “Because you can’t just keep trying them all.”
There is much more including a timeline of the Kenyan Killer’s trail of death. Go here. (I hope it isn’t behind a paywall for you.)
If it is, you can still get a great deal of information from my archives.
I have been following the case since Chemirmir’s arrest in 2018 which ended his killing spree that is believed to have begun in 2016 (but who really knows exactly when it began!). See my tagwhere all of those posts are archived.
When I started writing this blog a couple of years ago, I figured I would mostly be writing about food stamp fraud, Medicare fraud and miscellaneous political frauds and crooks with an occasional violent crime thrown in.
But, with the arrival of the Black Lives Matter era, the stories jumping out at me are ones that confirm almost daily that white American lives don’t matter as African Americans and illegal aliens (some legal ones too) take aim at us and each other.
Indeed the last three stories I posted here are on that subject, here, here, and here.
You have surely read about the news of the mass shooting in downtown Austin, the liberal capitol of conservative Texas that left this man dead.
I wouldn’t be mentioning it (because I can’t write the same blacks killing whites story daily) if it wasn’t for the news that I read at The Blaze.
Perpetuating stereotypes!
The Austin American-Statesmannewspaper refused to publish the police description of one of the shooters they were looking for saying they would be “perpetuating stereotypes” if they told the public what the punk looked like.
Texas newspaper refuses to publish description of mass shooting suspect: ‘Perpetuating stereotypes’
A prominent Texas news outlet refused to publish the police-provided description of a suspect believed to be responsible for a mass shooting in Austin, Texas, over concerns that doing so would be “perpetuating stereotypes.”
Police in Austin, the capital of the Lone Star State, announced 14 people were injured after at least one person opened fire on people on Austin’s historic Sixth Street after 1 a.m. Saturday.
The perpetrator(s) apparently fired at random. Police did not know the motive, and they said gang-related activity had not been ruled out.
[….]
Yup! Arrested Jeremiah Roshaun Leland James Tabb fits the description. The 17 year-old will be tried as an adult.
When divulging details about the mass shooting, police provided a description of the suspected perpetrator, explaining they were searching for a “black male wearing a black shirt with a skinny build and with dreadlocks.”
However, the Austin American-Statesman, one of Texas’ most prominent newspapers, refused to publish that description, claiming they would be “perpetuating stereotypes” if they did.
The decision by corporate media to not describe or show a photograph of a perp when the perp doesn’t fit the Leftwing narrative the media is promoting is why I often have to search, often without success, for photos and information on where the criminal originated if he or she is a person of color or a new American.
‘This senseless tragedy has put an end to all his dreams’: 25-year-old dies in downtown Austin mass shooting
Douglas John Kantor, 25, died from his injuries at an Austin hospital Sunday at 12:01 p.m., police say.
Kantor’s family said he was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center.
“He was shot through the abdomen just below the rib cage, straight through,” Kantor’s brother Nick Kantor said.
“He suffered from the time of the injury until time of death, it was the most gruesome thing I could think to wish on someone. It’s painful to discuss, but I think the public deserves to know what my brother suffered.”
Two other victims of the over a dozen shot are in critical condition.
A second suspect is in custody.

Teen busted for allegedly kidnapping sleeping boy later found dead on Texas street
A teen suspect has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a Dallas home and kidnapping a sleeping 4- year-old boy who was later found dead on a street, authorities said Monday.
The child, who suffered multiple fatal wounds from what police say was an “edged weapon,” was identified Sunday by his grieving guardian as Cash Gernon, WFAA reported.
The “happy-go-lucky” boy was sleeping when a suspect, identified by cops as 18-year-old Darriynn Brown, barged into his home through a back door and kidnapped him on Saturday, his guardian said.
A home security camera shows the minute 4-year-old Cash was taken from his room. Darrilynn Brown has been charged with kidnapping (so far).
Brown is now charged with kidnapping and theft in connection to Cash’s death. He is being held on $750,000 bail, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Brown was busted for evading arrest in late April and the case is still pending, the newspaper reported. Court documents show he lived with his parents just a half-mile from where the boy’s body was found.
An initial WFAA report the accused kidnapper was wearing an ankle monitor at the time of the abduction is inaccurate, according to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office.
The boy’s grieving mom said she had no idea what allegedly led Brown to target her son, whose body was later discovered in the street by a jogger early Saturday. The teen suspect did not know Cash, his guardian told the station off-camera.
Surveillance video also captured the kidnapping, the guardian added. Investigators asked neighbors Sunday for any additional footage to help them piece together what happened, WFAA reported. Some nearby residents told the station Brown was regularly seen in the city’s Mountain Creek section.
I have a lot of questions, and I guess you do too. How is that no adults in the house heard anything? Was the house unlocked? They seemed to have enough sense to have a home security system of some sort, so again how does someone walk out of a home carrying a small child and no one notices.
Could this killing be some sort of gang initiation?
Whether you have young children in the home or not—be sure you lock your doors and have a home security system, a dog maybe and a firearm. Life is not going back to the ’50s and ’60s—a time some of us can remember with some longing for that simpler time.
Spread this story far and wide (the corporate media won’t likely do that), if for no other reason than to make people more aware of the dangers facing us in the age of BLM supremacists.
“How many of you knew that an alleged serial killer recently operated for years in Dallas and Collin counties, targeting elderly residents?”
(State Rep. Jared Patterson, R-Frisco introducing his bill, one of three bills to assure the horrific murders of vulnerable seniors bring some protection for others.)
The question Patterson asks is one I pose to friends when they ask me about topics I write about on this blog.
Invariably the answer is no, they hadn’t heard, and that is because a story that should be known across America is no where to be found in the mainstream media.
Oh yes, it was covered briefly when Billy Chemirmir was initially arrested, but very little news since then has escaped beyond the state of Texas.
If this is the first you are hearing about it, know that a Kenyan immigrant spent several years getting into the apartments and homes of elderly women in the Dallas area, allegedly smothering them with pillows and stealing their valuables.
Investigators and medical examiners missed the murderous pattern and two dozen died before Chemirmir was arrested.
(There could be more victims. The extent of his murder spree is still not fully known.)
Front page news in Texas yesterday! So where is other major media?
Although some were suspicious, the victims’ families were led to believe their loved one died of natural causes.
Tragically, when the case began to unravel, some family members learned through social media that their mother was the victim of a serial killer.
But, not letting their personal tragedies cause them to mourn in silence, some of the daughters came together to form an organization whose mission is to make sure their horror isn’t visited upon others in Texas.
That is where we pick up this story that has been covered extensively by reporter Charles Scudder at the Dallas Morning News.
‘It is overwhelming’: Daughters testify in support of Texas bill filed in response to Chemirmir case
Police say the women’s mothers were probably victims of the serial-murder suspect. Now, families are urging Texas legislators to pass measures to improve safety in senior-living homes.
AUSTIN — Arm in arm, heels clicking down the marble floors of the Texas Capitol as they walked toward a hearing of the House Committee on Public Health, Shannon Dion and Cheryl Pangburn worried that the legislators wouldn’t hear their message.
For years, they’ve tried to raise an alarm. For years, they said, no one has listened.
Dion was always suspicious about how her mother, Doris Gleason, died in October 2016, but she was brushed off by police, property managers and news reporters alike. Pangburn also had lingering questions after her mother, Marilyn Bixler, died in September 2017, but for months after she learned the truth through Facebook, she couldn’t get police to give her a straight answer.
Investigators now say both women’s mothers were killed by Billy Chemirmir, who is charged with 18 counts of capital murder and two counts of attempted capital murder in Dallas and Collin counties.
Police say he targeted women in independent-living communities and their own homes, smothering them with pillows and stealing jewelry, cash and other valuables to sell.
“You don’t wake up in the mornings without thinking of it,” Dion said.
“It’s with us every day, and you get used to that flow,” Pangburn said. “Then you’re in Austin testifying and it hits you.”
Within days of learning what had happened, Dion and Pangburn say, both wanted to find a silver lining — something good to come from their horror, something to make sure no one else would go through it, too. They and other relatives of the dead founded the nonprofit Secure Our Seniors’ Safety to raise awareness about the slayings and pressure lawmakers to pass laws aimed at improving security at senior-living communities.
Now, after countless late-night calls with each other and Zoom meetings with lawmakers, Pangburn and Dion were finally in Austin, talking to legislators, asking them to listen.

Please visit the website Secure our Senior’s Safety (sign up for their newsletter) and see how these women have come together to assure that their personal tragedy results in changes in the law so that maybe your family, at least in Texas, doesn’t suffer the same fate.

Billy Chemirmir may very well be the most prolific killer in Texas history, so don’t let the mainstream media succeed in hiding the story because it doesn’t fit their narrative about immigrants and about Africans.
See the most recent news at ‘Inside Edition’and be prepared to shed tears for the family members who were interviewed about the loss of their beloved mothers allegedly at the hands of a ‘new American,’ a man ‘welcomed’ to America.
Suspected Serial Killer Accused of Smothering 18 Seniors and Stealing Jewelry
The three daughters of murdered seniors explain that all three of their mothers lived on the same floor at the upscale Tradition senior living center.
Douglas John Kantor, 25, died from his injuries at an Austin hospital Sunday at 12:01 p.m., police say.
