Summary

David Parker Ray is often regarded as a true monster due to his heinous acts. It is believed that from the mid-1950s until 1999, the year he was finally apprehended, he kidnapped, raped, tortured, and ultimately killed an estimated 40 to 60 individuals, with a significant portion of these victims being women. His reign of terror came to an end thanks to the incredible bravery of a survivor, Cynthia Vigil, who managed to escape from what he referred to as his “toy box.” This courageous act led to the eventual arrest of Ray and his accomplices, who were subsequently sentenced to prison for their appalling crimes. To this day, the FBI continues to seek the public's assistance in identifying numerous items that were collected during the investigation, which includes jewelry and women’s clothing they believe once belonged to Ray's victims. The FBI has asked that family members and friends of missing individuals review the photos of these items and to get in touch if they recognize anything that may provide crucial leads in the ongoing investigation.
