Mary Brooks, 87, was found dead in her Dallas condo on January 31, 2018. Her death was initially treated as natural, but family members noticed missing jewelry including a coral necklace and diamond rings, which prompted a renewed inquiry that determined she had been murdered. Her grandson, David Cuddihee, said he found her body and that she had been healthy and active, often walking to church and the dentist.

Investigators later linked the killing to Billy Chemirmir, accused of targeting elderly women by posing as a medical professional or maintenance worker, entering residences, smothering victims with a pillow and stealing jewelry to sell online. Surveillance footage placed a vehicle matching Chemirmir’s leaving a Walmart parking lot just after Brooks and heading the same direction. Chemirmir was indicted in multiple deaths, found guilty of capital murder in Brooks’ death and sentenced to life without parole. Civil suits also have been filed alleging similar crimes.

If anyone knew Mary Brooks, her routines, or saw a vehicle near her condo or the Walmart on January 31, 2018, please share what might help the case.
