A Serial Killer From the U.S. Preyed on Young Women in Canada

Murder Files Unsealed

Authorities suspect that the deceased individual, who passed away in an Idaho correctional facility, may be connected to the unresolved homicides of several women in British Columbia, Alberta, and various locations across the United States.
The serial offender exhibited minimal attempts to conceal his actions. Throughout a year in the 1970s, he discarded the remains of four young women at various locations—along a roadway, in a gravel ditch, and beneath an underpass, just outside Calgary, in Western Canada.
The victims were fully clothed, all had been strangled, and DNA analysis indicated that they had suffered sexual assault.
Despite this evidence, it took nearly five decades and the examination of 853 potential suspects for Canadian law enforcement to disclose on Friday that these women had fallen prey to a serial killer.
The perpetrator was identified as Gary Allen Srery, who had escaped to Canada while on bail in 1974 after being charged with rape in Los Angeles.
