Gary Steven Krist

Gary Steven Krist (born April 29, 1945) lived part of his childhood in Utah. His first recorded crime was a string of robberies at the age of 14.

He is most well known for kidnapping and burying heiress Barbara Jane Mackle alive in a ventilated box in 1968. After receiving $500,000 in ransom money, he was captured and sentenced to life in prison. He was paroled after serving ten years. Krist was granted a pardon so that he could become a doctor. He practiced medicine in rural Indiana before his license was revoked in 2003 as a result of lying about disciplinary action received during his residency.

Around early March in 2006, Gary was arrested by authorities in Mobile Bay, Alabama, for running a cocaine operation in Barrow County, Georgia, valued at around 1 million dollars. On May 16, 2006, Krist pled guilty to drug smuggling and on January 19, 2007 was sentenced to more than five years in prison.
