Terry Blair’s Death: Woman Recounts Living with Serial Killer (video)

A notorious serial killer, Terry Blair, has died, and a woman who once lived with him is speaking out. Blair, who had already been convicted of killing one woman, was accused of targeting several women during the summer of 2004. His killings all took place along Kansas City’s Prospect Corridor, near his home.

For the first time, we hear from a woman who stayed with Blair during that period. At the time, Blair was 42, and <a href="she was a teenager. FOX 4's Dave D'Marko reports live from the Kansas City Police Department headquarters, recalling an investigation that reached a nationwide audience due to its coverage on a popular crime show.

The woman, Evonne Weekly, ran away from home at 16 and was connected by a classmate to Blair, who offered her a place to stay. She lived with him in September 2004, unaware of his murderous activities. That month, a neighbor discovered the bodies of two women in Blair’s garage.

Weekly recalls the dark apartment and her encounters with Blair, describing a controlled environment where <a href="she wasn't allowed much freedom. She vividly remembers a school incident where her mother was alerted to her situation, leading to her eventual escape.

Between July and September 2004, six women were found murdered near Prospect Avenue. A man called 9-1-1 over several days, directing police to the victims’ locations. The investigation soon centered on Blair, who had recently been released from prison after serving over 20 years for killing the mother of his child, allegedly out of anger over her prostitution.

Blair was ultimately convicted of multiple murders and received multiple life sentences. Weekly, who now lives out of state, was unaware of Blair’s death over the weekend. Upon hearing the news, <a href="she expressed mixed emotions, feeling for the families of the victims while reflecting on her narrow escape.

Many families of the victims shared their sentiments on social media, mourning their loved ones. Meanwhile, Blair’s family, also convicted of separate murders, were unable to attend any potential services due to their own prison sentences.

Dave D’Marko, reporting from the Kansas City Police Department, highlights the lingering impact of Blair’s crimes on the community and those who were close to him.
