Almost nobody in the country knows the story. Between 2016 and 2018, Kenyan national Bill Chemirmir was accused of smothering 22 elderly women in multiple senior living facilities in the North Dallas area and stealing their jewelry. There are likely dozens of others, but he was convicted of only two murders and is now escaping the death penalty altogether. We’re joined today by Ellen French House, daughter of 85-year-old Norma French, who was murdered by Chemirmir, and Cheryl Pangburn, whose 90-year-old mother, Marilyn Bixler, was murdered almost a year later. They discuss their riveting stories and how nobody seems to care about the safety of our seniors. How in the world can at least 22 of these murders take place so brazenly when, from day one, there was enormous evidence of a man who fit his description stalking women and stealing jewelry? Why wasn’t he ever deported? This case raises so many policy questions that cut to the core of our culture, society, law, media, and body politic, and we just scrape the surface in this special episode.
