The toy box killer was also known as David Parker Ray. He had a liking for torturing women and grew up wanting to play with more than just the average toys.

Her name is Cynthia Vigil Jaramillo who is now the cofounder of Street Safe New Mexico and their mission is to help women who are struggling with their lives on the street.

John Wayne Gacy was always a loved member of society to most people. But he had his own secrets that he couldn't get away from. It all took some inspiration from Dean Corll, a murder in "self defense", a crawlspace and some drugs. He was a clown. (no really) He called himself Pogo the clown and he was definitely no Ronald McDonald. If you liked what you heard and want to hear part 3 please subscribe and give the podcast a rating on Spotify!
