A Kenyan man, Billy Chemirmir, who is being held in the United States on suspicion of being a serial killer has been linked to another murder.
The family of a woman who died in 2017 is suing the assisted living facility where she lived, claiming she died at the hands of an accused serial killer.
According to the lawsuit, Doris Wasserman, 90, was one of at least nine residents murdered at The Tradition-Prestonwood Assisted Living and Memory Care by Chemirmir between 2016 and 2017.
Wasserman died in December 2017, and her family claims that $8,500 worth of jewelry was missing from her apartment after her death.
Chemirmir, a healthcare worker, currently faces charges for the murders of 12 elderly women in the Texas counties of Dallas and Collin.
He is accused of either strangling or suffocating his victims to steal jewelry and other valuables.
The lawsuit includes cell phone tracking evidence that the suspect was at the facility on the day of the murder, as well as evidence that the victim died of suffocation.
Police said Google tracking data placed Chemirmir in The Tradition-Prestonwood between 3:05 pm and 4:31 pm on December 23rd, 2017, the day Wasserman died.
"We believe that The Tradition put profits over the safety of its residents," the family's attorney told CBS11.
