Apparently, everything up until this point was normal but when the boys lived with their father they suffered emotional and physical abuse. Gary and Terry lived with their mother for four years before going to live with their father and their stepmother. He lived with his parents and younger brother Terry until his parents got divorced in 1946.
Gary Michael Heidnik was born on the 22nd of November 1943 in Eastlake, Ohio in the United States. I remember my research on the Yorkshire Ripper ( Peter Sutcliffe) I learnt that a lot of the mistakes made during that investigation was due to the judgemental view to the victims lifestyles as sex workers, it was only when a young girl (who was not involved in that industry) was murdered that the police and the public started to take it seriously which is horrible, everyone, no matter what the circumstances (nobody knows what these women had been going through to end up having to work on the streets) a victim should be treated with the same respect as everyone else and their case should be taken seriously. Unfortunately back then the police and certain members of the public had a backward view when victims would be revealed to be, as they called them 'prostitutes' and would judge and assume it was something to do with drugs and leading an unsavoury lifestyle. A lot of people don't know who he is or what he did, some people believe that the reason he isn't mentioned as much as other killers is because of racist reasons as his victims were African American women and some of the victims were known to be sex workers. I decided to focus on Gary Michael Heidnik first of all because despite his horrendous crimes, he is not a name that pops into people's heads as quickly as the likes of Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy.
