He was later caught peeping into a female neighbor's house, during which he claimed he was looking for his cat he was arrested for traffic violations but released soon after. Sometime after his mother left, he began acting out in frustration, yelling at the sky and cursing Yvonne for leaving. In 1992, Yvonne took a new job in Atlanta, Georgia, and tried taking Gillis with her, but he refused and she decided to leave him behind to live on his own, all the while still paying the mortgage for him. He eventually gained an affinity for using computers, which soon motivated him to get a certification for them when he enrolled in a community college. This obsession with viewing pornography online affected his job and other responsibilities, all of which he neglected in favor of using his computer. However, he didn't find any enjoyment in having a job, having moved from one store to another, instead preferring to sit in front of a new computer he purchased, primarily viewing pornographic websites, specifically those pertaining to the rape, death, and dismemberment of women. When Gillis was seventeen years old, he reunited with his father, with whom he developed a close bond with, but this newfound relationship became turbulent the following year when Gillis found out that Norman had become homosexual after seeing his collection of photos of naked men in various sexual positions, a revelation that horrified him.Īfter graduating from Redemptorist High School, Gillis got a job with Southland Corporation and began working as an employee in their chain of 7-11 convenience stores. They also tended to smoke marijuana in secret and get themselves in minor trouble. When he reached his adolescent years, Gillis and two good friends became interested in Satanic worship, watching locals engaging in it and enjoying the thrill of being scared by their rituals. During his childhood, Gillis attended a Catholic elementary school under Yvonne's request, then went to Redemptorist High School in the seventh grade. When he was ten years old, he and Yvonne moved to another local neighborhood, where he was described by neighbors as being a bit of a bully. Despite this, Gillis lived a relatively normal life and maintained a rather good relationship with his mother (who doted over him) and paternal grandparents, who aided Yvonne in raising him.

Out of the safety for his family, Norman later left them and went in and out of many different mental institutions, leaving Yvonne to juggle between raising Gillis alone and attending to her job at a local TV station. Norman was a struggling alcoholic who also suffered from mental illness, which complicated his relationship with his wife and son in one incident, he held a gun to Gillis's head. Gillis was born on June 24, 1962, to Norman and Yvonne Gillis.
