Gary Allen Srery: A Detailed Account of His Crimes
Early Life and Criminal Beginnings
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. In 1974, facing a rape charge in California, he fled to Canada, entering illegally and adopting various aliases to evade law enforcement.
Murders in Calgary (1976-1977)
While residing illegally in Canada, Srery committed a series of murders in Calgary, Alberta, targeting young females. His known victims include:
- Eva Violet Dvorak (14) and Patricia Marie McQueen (14): Last seen on February 15, 1976, around midnight, walking near 9 Avenue and 12 Street SE in Calgary. Their bodies were discovered 11 hours later under the Happy Valley underpass, west of the city. Both had been asphyxiated.
- Melissa Ann Rehorek (20): Recently moved to Calgary from Ontario, she was last seen on September 15, 1976, planning to hitchhike out of town. Her body was found the same morning in a ditch off a gravel road west of Calgary, showing evidence of a struggle and blunt force trauma.
- Barbara Jean MacLean (19): Originally from Nova Scotia, MacLean was last seen on February 25, 1977, leaving the Highlander bar on 16th Avenue after an evening with friends. Her body was found the next morning just outside Calgary, with signs of a struggle and asphyxiation.
