The Alberta RCMP has identified a sex offender from the United States as the suspect in four different murder cases of young women in Calgary that date back to the 1970s.

Police said they believe the deaths were connected to Gary Allen Srery, who died in Idaho state prison of natural causes in 2011. He was serving a sentence for rape at the time, according to an RCMP news release.
