Saved is the story of Mary Annis Bartel, a 91-year-old widow and retired schoolteacher living in an independent living retirement community in Plano, Texas. When perhaps the most prolific serial killer of modern times targeted Mrs. Bartel as his next victim, an unexpected outcome caused a remarkable series of events. Billy Chemirmir has been in the Dallas County Jail since March 2018 and has been indicted on eighteen capital murder charges so far. He is suspected in many more deaths of elderly women in Texas and Florida over the previous ten years. He would wander around retirement communities posing as a health care or maintenance worker. In several known cases, he forced his way into an elderly woman’s apartment, smothered the victim with a pillow in her bed, left her for dead, and stole her jewelry. How did a relatively frail elderly woman living alone bring down a serial killer? What was the personal cost of saving potentially hundreds of elderly women in retirement communities from being smothered for their jewelry? Mrs. Bartel’s story of faith, resilience, supportive friendships, courage and challenges show that one is never too old to make the world a better place., ISBN13: B096ZV6VKZ ISBN10: B096ZV6VKZ Material Type: paperbackSaved is the story of Mary Annis Bartel, a 91-year-old widow and retired schoolteacher living in an independent living retirement community in Plano, Texas.
