'''Terry Blair''' (born September 16, 1961) is an [[United States|American]] [[serial killer]], who [[rape]]d and killed at least seven women in [[Kansas City, Missouri]].

==Family history==
Terry Blair was born into a family which would have many encounters with the criminal justice system. He was the fourth eldest of 10 siblings, born to a mother who had only finished the 9th grade and suffered from [[mental illness]].<ref name="CourtTV news story">[http://www.courttv.com/news/2004/0921/serialkiller_ap.html CourtTV news story]{{Dead link|date=March 2012}}</ref>

While in jail for a separate incident, brother Walter Blair Jr met a man who offered to pay him $6,000 to kill Katherine Jo Allen so she could not testify at his rape trial. Blair confessed to abducting Allen from her apartment before taking her to a vacant lot and shooting her. He was convicted of murder and was executed in 1993.<ref name="CourtTV news story"/>

Half brother Clifford Miller was convicted in the 1992 abduction of a woman from a bar. He shot the woman in the arm and drove her to an abandoned house before raping her repeatedly and beating her until she passed out. She suffered a gunshot wound, fractured skull, broken jaw and broken cheek bones. She spent two months in the hospital, recovering. Clifford Miller was sentenced to two [[life sentence]]s plus 240 years for charges including kidnapping and forcible [[sodomy]].<ref name="CourtTV news story"/>

Mother Janice Blair fatally shot Elton E. Gray, but was sentenced to [[probation]] after entering an [[Alford plea]].<ref name="CourtTV news story"/>

Blair was also accused in two other murders (Sandra Reed and Nellia Harris), an [[assault]], and three rapes.These charges were later dropped.<ref name="convicted" />


===Murder of Angela Monroe in 1982===
In 1982, the pregnant Angela Monroe, mother of two of Blair's children, was murdered.<ref name="convicted" /> Blair was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment for this murder.

==Trial and imprisonment for murders that happened in 2003-2004==
On October 15, 2004, Terry Blair was charged with eight counts of [[first-degree murder]], one count of first-degree assault, and three counts of forcible rape.<ref>[http://www.16thcircuit.org/HPCases/12-6-04%20Docket%20Sheet.pdf Circuit Court Docket Sheet] 16th Judicial Circuit. 6 December 2004</ref><ref>[http://www.16thcircuit.org/HPCases/12-3-05%20Indictment.pdf Indictment] 04CR203141.

The rape and assault charges were also dropped.

The murders came to light when a caller informed 911 of dead bodies and claimed responsibility for the killings. The caller stated that the reason the individuals were killed was that they were prostitutes and therefore they were "scum". Investigators were not able to tie Blair to the phone, but established that the calls were made from near where he lived.

Although the evidence was mainly circumstantial, Blair's semen was found on one victim.

Blair is currently housed in the [[Potosi Correctional Center]] in [[Mineral Point, Missouri]].

Blair appealed his conviction, but his appeal was denied by the Missouri Court of Appeals in August, 2009.<ref name="appOpinion" />

==Trivia==
The case of the seven homicides he was convicted of is featured in the episode "A Serial Killer Calls" of the TV show ''[[The First 48]]''. The episode follows detectives as they receive information of the death of the first woman found on Prospect Avenue all the way up until his capture. In the episode, Blair admits to the killing of Angela Monroe for the first time since he was convicted of the killing in 1982. He maintains his innocence, however, in the Prospect murders. <ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1412051/ IMDb ]</ref>

The rape and assault charges were also dropped.

The murders came to light when a caller informed 911 of dead bodies and claimed responsibility for the killings. The caller stated that the reason the individuals were killed was that they were prostitutes and therefore they were "scum". Investigators were not able to tie Blair to the phone, but established that the calls were made from near where he lived. Linguistics testimony was introduced, and the finder of fact came to believe the voice was Blair's.<ref name="appOpinion">{{cite court |litigants = State v.

Although the evidence was mainly circumstantial, Blair's semen was found on one victim. Blair's defense was that this item of evidence only proved he had engaged in sex with the victim; the prosecution countered that since she hadn't tidied herself up afterwards, he must have been the last to see her alive.<ref name="appOpinion" /> Because Blair continues to deny responsibility for the crimes, his motive cannot be understood beyond a compulsion to kill prostitutes.<ref name="twiddy" />
