TIMOTHY PARLIN | ‘I Stabbed Her In The Neck’: Killer Caught After Neighbor Records Him In Incriminating Video | Will Serve LWOP For Two Burglaries, Murders In 2014 | Autographed Letter, Signed
LongfellowSerenade 20
Timothy Parlin was convicted in 2014 of murdering three people in Austin, Texas, including Kathy Blair, a music instructor, and Billie and Sidney Shelton, an elderly couple. Parlin has a previous record for stealing jewelry and was on parole at the time of the offenses. Kathy Blair was discovered dead with multiple stab wounds and signs of strangling, while the Sheltons were found battered and stabbed to death in their bed under similar conditions. Parlin was recognized as a suspect based on his previous interactions with Kathy Blair and his record. A pawn shop receipt for a trinket belonging to Kathy Blair, which was pawned the day she was murdered, was among the evidence. Parlin was ultimately charged with the murders and condemned to life in prison with no chance of release. The first court of appeals upheld the Austin man's capital murder conviction.

Description
Timothy Parlin. Autographed Letter, Signed. Handwritten, Commercial #10 (4.125 × 9.5 envelope). North Texas, TX. September 23, 2024. Content unknown. SEALED.
The trial began in
May 2018, and after ten days, a Travis County jury found Parlin
guilty on all charges. The jury reached a verdict in less than three
hours, sentencing him to life in prison without the possibility of
parole. The prosecution produced evidence, including Parlin's
confessions and remarks about organizing the burglaries and murders.
The defense asserted Parlin's innocence, arguing that he was not the
perpetrator of the murders.
Shawn Gant-Benalcazar,
Parlin's accomplice, also faced accusations related to the murders.
His trial resulted in a mistrial, but he was later convicted. The
First Court of Appeals in Houston upheld Parlin's conviction in
November 2019.
The murders had a profound impact on the
Austin community, especially on the families of the victims. Kathy
Blair's family expressed relief and closure following Parlin's
conviction, emphasizing the value of justice and the community's
resiliency in the face of such devastating incidents.
In
2014, Timothy Parlin and Shawn Gant-Benalcazar killed Kathy Blair, as
well as Sidney and Billie Shelton. The motive behind the crimes was
burglary, with Blair being killed during a home invasion and the
Sheltons murdered in a comparable incident. Prosecutors provided
evidence indicating that Parlin and Gant-Benalcazar planned the
crimes and used violence to confront the victims. Parlin's
confessions and statements were critical in determining their
intentions and plans.
Kathy Blair and the Shelton couple's
killings were investigated using a variety of investigative tactics
and evidence collection methods. The initial inquiry uncovered
parallels in the crime scenes, pointing to a possible link between
the incidents. Surveillance footage, including a thermal camera
caught near Kathy Blair's home, helped identify the perpetrators'
vehicle. A pawn shop receipt linked Parlin to the stolen goods.
Parlin originally gave a bogus alibi but eventually acknowledged to
the burglaries and helping Gant-Benalcazar commit the murders. His
confessions were critical in determining their involvement and
strategy. The analysis of the blood in the vehicle and other physical
evidence from the crime scenes definitively linked them to the
crimes. Timothy Parlin and Shawn Gant-Benalcazar's arrest and
conviction for the killings were the result of these efforts and
evidence collection.
Timothy Parlin and Shawn
Gant-Benalcazar had a prior connection through Gant-Benalcazar's
sister, who had a previous relationship with a woman whose ex-husband
was a victim of a burglary Parlin was linked to. Their friendship led
to their involvement in burglary and later killings, with Parlin's
criminal experience pushing Gant-Benalcazar to take part in the
crimes.
Television dramas and documentaries have focused on Timothy Parlin's murders. A Time to Kill: Serial Killer Svengali on Investigation Discovery follows the murders of Kathy Blair and the Shelton couple, while 48 Hours The Shape of a Killer on CBS includes interviews with Parlin and Gant-Benalcazar, who provide insights into the investigation, trials, evidence, and legal proceedings. Both shows offer crucial insights into Timothy Parlin's case.
