About David Parker Ray in brief
David Parker Ray, also known as the Toy-Box Killer, was an American kidnapper, torturer, rapist and suspected serial killer. He was convicted of kidnapping and torture in 2001, for which he received a lengthy sentence, but he was never convicted of murder. Ray sexually tortured and presumably killed his victims using whips, chains, pulleys, straps, clamps, leg spreader bars, surgical blades, and saws. It is thought that he terrorized many women with these tools for many years, while living in New Mexico, with the help of accomplices, some of whom are alleged to have been several of the women he was dating. Ray often had an audio tape recording of his voice played for his victims whenever they regained consciousness. He died of a heart attack about one year after his convictions in two cases.
After completing high school, he received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army, where his service also included work as a general mechanic. Ray was divorced four times and had two children, including his accomplice, daughter Jesse Ray. Ray had a video of one of his victims, Kelly Garrett, which dated from 1996. Garrett was found alive, after police identified a tattoo on her ankle. Ray’s daughter, Jesse Ray, took her to the Blu-Water Saloon in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico and drugged the beer she was drinking when she suffered a blow from behind. During this time, Ray noticed that she was breathing and slashed her throat several times. Ray took her unconscious to his trailer and attached a dog collar and leash to her neck, but blacked out several times during this time.
