Case Study 54

This is Elvis Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977). Elvis was a world famous rock and roll artist. “His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to both great success after initial controversy.” (Wikipedia)

Elvis was drafted into the US Army in 1958, serving as a cavalry scout in Germany. He was discharged as a sergeant in 1960. He produced 41 albums and appeared in 33 movies. He was nicknamed “The King of Rock n Roll.”

This is Nathan Gale (September 11, 1979 – December 8, 2004). He was the man who shot Dimebag Darrell ( Case Study 47 ) while the latter was performing on stage. He killed three other people and wounded two before being killed by a police officer who responded to the call.

Gale was a loner who had played football in high school. He served in the USMC where he received psychological treatment and was released after one year. See this Murderpedia.org posting for more information.
