A barefoot woman. A locked metal collar. A broken chain dragging behind her in the dark.
 This is where David Parker Ray’s empire of terror finally began to unravel.

In Part Two of our most chilling case yet, we follow the escape of survivor Cindy Vigil, the frantic 911 call, the police response, and the shocking discovery inside the trailer Ray called his Toy Box.
What investigators found would ignite one of the most disturbing true crime cases in American history:

• Surgical tools
• Hand-built torture devices
• A gynecological chair bolted to the floor
• Restraints, diagrams, journals
• Audio recordings of Ray’s “instructions”
• Evidence of accomplices… and hints of many more victims

We break down the arrests, the interrogations, Cindy Hendy’s confession, the involvement of Dennis Roy Yancy, Jessie Ray’s role, the missing women connected to Elephant Butte, and the truth behind Ray’s journals — which suggest decades of abductions long before the escape that exposed him.

 Listener discretion is strongly advised.

This is Part Two of our deep dive into David Parker Ray.
 Part One is available now.
