What *was* this guy's problem?
He very clearly had some behavioural problems. Possibly a mental illness. But research into his childhood thus far (on my end) doesn't indicate anything out of the ordinary. Or at least, nothing that can conceivably lead to his behaviour as an adult.

>McElroy was born in 1934, the fifteenth of sixteen children born to a poor, migrant tenant-farming couple [...] He dropped out of school at age 15 in the eighth grade and quickly established a local reputation as a raccoon hunter, cattle rustler, small-time thief and womanizer. For more than two decades, McElroy was suspected of being involved in theft of grain, gasoline, alcohol, antiques, and livestock, but he avoided conviction when charges were brought against him 21 times—often after witnesses refused to testify because he allegedly intimidated them, frequently by following his targets or parking outside their homes and watching them.
>McElroy fathered more than 10 children with different women.
He was just a proto-wigger, I don't understand why you're looking for something deeper.

>McElroy fathered more than 10 children with different women. He met his last wife, Trena McCloud, when she was 12 years old and in eighth grade. She became pregnant when she was fourteen, dropped out of school in the ninth grade, and went to live with McElroy and his third wife Alice. McElroy divorced Alice and married Trena in order to escape charges of statutory rape, to which she was the only witness.
I fucking hate women. /r9k/ were right.
