It’s another dark one, this week, as Tom and Ben don the sunscreen for a trip to the South of New Mexico in search for answers to one of the state’s most divisive questions - did David Parker Ray use his Toy Box purely for mutual pleasures or did he use it to become one of the most horribly successful serial killers of all time? It’s the case of the ‘Toy Box Killer’: David Parker Ray.

Some say that truth or consequences is a place where people go to be forgotten. That it is a place where a man can rightly go about his business without the disruption of peering eyes, second glances and those of an inquisitive disposition... Some say that truth or consequences is a quiet place. A quaint spot able to cook-up year-round postcard images of beautiful sunrises and pristine sunsets amidst the backdrop of our majestic mountains and shimmering lakes... enough to make any grown man or woman cry.

Cut off from the rest of the world by forty thousand square miles of New Mexico desert terrain, people say that truth or consequences is the ultimate and only destination for like-minded strangers to live, truly live, without consequence.

But they don’t seem to have an awful lot to say for people who are TAKEN to truth or consequences.... soon to be forgotten.

So just how did David Parker Ray become the world’s only serial killer never convicted of murder? Did Ray act alone or was he part of an organised group of deviants? What was found at the bottom of Elephant Butte Lake? Were his captors held against their own will or did they share his “kink”? And what other secrets has he taken to the grave with him?

Tune in and all will be revealed!
