Gary Allen Srery was born on July 26, 1942, in Oak Park, Illinois. He moved to California with his family in the mid-1950s. In California, he married and had children but divorced in 1969. Srery's criminal activities began in the 1960s, with convictions for forcible rape, kidnapping, burglary, and sexual perversion.
