• 0:19
  was found guilty of murdering two elderly women in upscale Texas retirement homes and accused
• 0:26
  of twenty more killings. If one of his victims had not survived his smothering
• 0:31
  attempt, he might have never been apprehended. Shortly before his death at the
• 0:37
  hands of his cellmate. Suspected serial killer Billy kamer Meir is the focus of
• 0:43
  a newly released docussaries on Paramount Plus titled Pillowcase Murders. He was killed by
• 0:50
  a fellow inmate in a Texas prison in twenty twenty three. According to authorities,
• 0:56
  over a period of two years, investigators Revie Yield that Kamiermir exploited his
• 1:02
  job as a caregiver to target elderly women in the Dallas region, pretending to
• 1:07
  be a maintenance worker or medical professional to gain entry to their residences. He
• 1:12
  would then suffocate them and steal their belongings, including jewelry valued at thirty thousand
• 1:19
  dollars in one case. Due to the nature of smothering, there was little
• 1:25
  evidence of foul play, and the deaths of the elderly women were frequently attributed
• 1:30
  to natural causes due to their advanced age. Marilyn Cardillo, Bixler's daughter,
• 1:37
  who discovered her lifeless body on the floor of her apartment in September twenty seventeen,
• 1:42
  had previously informed Fox News Digital that she had no inkling of her mother's
• 1:47
  murder at the time of the discovery. I thought it was strange where her
• 1:52
  body was. I thought it was strange that her glasses were across the room
• 1:56
  with the frames bent and the lens popped out, so much so that I
• 2:00
  set them on the console of my car and took a picture. The back
• 2:04
  of her hair, which she had done every Friday, was an absolute mess,
• 2:08
  and that just didn't make sense to me, Cheryl Pangbin said in twenty
• 2:13
  twenty two. Shannon Dion informed Oxygen dot Com that she discovered it to be
• 2:19
  rather suspicious when her mother passed away in twenty sixteen, and she noticed the
• 2:23
  absence of her mother's jewelry, particularly the cherished gold Guardian Angel necklace that she
• 2:30
  always adorned around her neck, as well as her wallet. According to Shannon,
• 2:35
  officers from the Dallas Police Department allegedly conveyed their belief that her mother had
• 2:40
  been robbed subsequent to her demise from natural causes. It flat out didn't make
• 2:46
  any sense, Dione told the outlet. But I grew up to trust police.
• 2:50
  I had nothing else to go on. What else do I do?
• 2:53
  Dion discovered that her mother, Doris Gleeson, was the seventh resident of Trade
• 3:00
  VI Prestwood to pass away in less than four months, as per the report.
• 3:06
  In March twenty eighteen, a ninety one year old Mary Bartel informed the
• 3:09
  police that Kamier Meir had intruded into her apartment at an assisted living community,
• 3:15
  attempted to suffocate her with a pillow, and took her jewelry. The authorities
• 3:21
  promptly recognized Kamiermir as a suspect, as detailed in the documentary. The following
• 3:27
  day, they apprehended the Kenyan national in the parking lot of his apartment complex
• 3:31
  while he was in possession of jewelry and cash. Having recently discarded a large
• 3:38
  red jewelry box into a dumpster. Documents found in the box led investigators to
• 3:44
  Luthy Harris, eighty one, who was discovered deceased in her bedroom. The
• 3:49
  elderly woman had red lipstick on her mouth and a matching red mark on the
• 3:53
  pillow next to her, indicating she had been suffocated. Fox News did Digital
• 4:00
  previously reported this information. Detectives examining unexplained or suspicious deaths of elderly women in
• 4:06
  the Dallas Fort Worth area started linking additional deaths to Kmermir. As more information
• 4:14
  about the suspected killer's actions became public, more relatives came forward. Pangburn was
• 4:19
  reminded of the peculiar circumstances surrounding her mother's passing when she received a Facebook message
• 4:26
  from a former high school acquaintance. She sent me a message that said,
• 4:30
  my mum was also a victim of Billy Khmermir. My condolences. If you
• 4:36
  would ever feel comfortable talking, here's my number. Pangburn previously told Fox News
• 4:42
  Digital. As I'm sitting in this appointment, I have no idea what she's
• 4:46
  talking about. I Google searched the name Billy kemer Meir, and it just
• 4:50
  pulls up this serial killer's story. She said, I'm horrified, but things
• 4:56
  are starting to make sense. During her testimony in Kmiermir's murder trial, survivor
• 5:02
  Bartel informed the jurors that the assailants suffocated her until she lost consciousness. Nevertheless,
• 5:10
  she managed to survive, regained consciousness, and sought medical attention at a
• 5:15
  hospital. Upon returning home, Bartel discovered that her gold wedding band, a
• 5:21
  diamond gold ring, a gold locket containing a picture of her deceased husband,
• 5:27
  two gold crucifixes, and a silver bracelet were all missing. This information was
• 5:32
  shared by Bartel herself. According to NBCDFW, the capital murder trial resulted in
• 5:39
  a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury with an eleven one vote after eleven hours
• 5:45
  of deliberation. If I was a killer, I could have killed
