On this week's episode, Andrew speaks with deceased serial killer, Billy Chemirmir. Billy Chemirmir is a Kenyan-American convicted serial killer known for his crimes in the United States. Born in Kenya in 1969, Chemirmir immigrated to the U.S. in the early 2000s. He gained notoriety for a series of murders targeting elderly women, primarily in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas.
Chemirmir's modus operandi involved posing as a caregiver or maintenance worker to gain access to his victims' homes. Once inside, he would often smother them with a pillow or use other methods to kill them, then steal their valuables. His criminal activities spanned from 2016 to 2018, during which he was able to evade capture for a significant period.
The breakthrough in his case came when he was arrested in March 2018 for a suspected murder. As investigators dug deeper, they linked him to multiple other deaths, leading to his conviction. Chemirmir was found guilty of several charges, including multiple counts of capital murder. His case drew significant media attention due to the heinous nature of his crimes and the vulnerabilities of his victims. Chemirmir's trial and conviction highlighted issues related to elder care, safety, and the challenges of detecting and preventing such targeted crimes.
This interview was recorded while Chemirmir was on trial for capital murder. On September 19, 2023, Chemirmir was killed by his cellmate at the Coffield Unit in Tennessee Colony, Anderson County, Texas. Chemirmir, who was 50 years old, was allegedly attacked by Wyatt Busby. Busby was serving a 50-year sentence for the 2016 stabbing death of a man from the Houston area. Before his death, Chemirmir had reportedly made inappropriate comments about his cellmate's children.
