Giger reportedly met Kathleen in San Antonio during the period she was giving birth to Rodnal (late 1945). They were married in Monticello, AR in March of 1946 and separated in April 1946 due to "extreme cruelty". Giger was reportedly arrested by the Army and transported back to TX at which time he was to have the marriage annulled - which he neglected to do. The marriage was subsequently terminated by a FL court action in 1956 by Kathleen (Gossman) (documented as divorce for extreme cruelty).
