and still managing to find a wife

Um… Well, he didn’t exactly “find a wife” in the way most people do.

He met his last wife, Trena McCloud (1957–2012), when she was 12 years old and in eighth grade and he was 35. He raped McCloud repeatedly. McCloud’s parents initially opposed the relationship, but McElroy threatened them into agreement by burning down the house and shooting the family dog.

“Relationship” is doing a LOT of heavy lifting there.
