Gary Allen Srery (July 26, 1942 – April 27, 2011) was an American rapist and serial killer who was responsible for murdering at least four women in Calgary, Alberta. Each victim was between the ages of 14 and 20 and were killed between February 1976 and February 1977, but the cases were only grouped together in 2021 through DNA evidence.
In May 2024, Srery was publicly identified as the killer after his identity was revealed through Investigative Genetic Genealogy by genealogists from Convergence Investigative Genetic Genealogy. He could not be charged, however, as he had died in 2011 in Idaho, where he was serving a life sentence for rape. At the time of the murders, Srery was illegally living in Canada while avoiding a rape charge in California.
