Crimes
Punishment
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.[1] [2]
Terry Blair avoided the possibility of the death penalty by agreeing to waive his right to a jury-trial. He was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment for the murder of his first known victim, Angela Monroe. After being released early (after only 21 years) he was convicted of killing six more women. For these additional six murders he received a life sentence, with no possibility of parole.
Blair is currently housed in the Potosi Correctional Center in Mineral Point, MO.
Trivia
The case of the 7 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 all the way up until his capture.
