Mounties say U.S. sex offender killed four girls, women in Calgary in the 1970s

Gary Allen Srery was serving a life sentence for sexual assault when he died of natural causes in an Idaho prison in 2011.

Later that spring, 20-year-old Melissa Rehorek was found dead in a ditch off a gravel road outside the city. "At the end of the day, whether there's a charge or no charge, we're not fixing anything," RCMP Supt. Dave Hall told a news conference when asked about the victims' families learning the killer had been found.RCMP said little is known about Srery's life or whereabouts from the time he skipped bail in the U.S in the mid-1970s up until he was arrested and convicted of sexual assault and confinement in New Westminster, B.C., in the 1990s.

Eva and Patsy were both students at Ian Bazalgette Junior High School. They left the school together on Feb. 12, 1976, and remained together for the next couple of days, visiting the homes of various friends. MacLean, who had moved to Calgary from Nova Scotia, worked at a bank. She had gone to a bar with friends and was last seen walking alone about 2 a.m. on Feb. 26, 1977.
