The timelines in Lordran are convoluted, the only reason we meet the NPCs that we do is because our timelines are in tact, and Solaire even mentions that there's no telling how long our timelines will remain in tact. It is possible that when we kill them we sever the connection between our timeline and theirs. They probably do respawn, but since our timelines are no longer in tact we simply don't see them anymore.
