Podcasts about toy box killer

 In today's chilling episode of Uncovered, host Brian walks us into the dark and deranged world of one of the most horrifying criminals in American history — David Parker Ray, better known as The Toy Box Killer.This is not the stuff of urban legends or late-night horror stories. This is real. And it's worse than you think.Operating out of a soundproof trailer in the New Mexico desert, David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and possibly murdered dozens of women — though to this day, not a single body has been found. Inside his so-called “toy box,” authorities discovered a nightmarish chamber of homemade torture devices, surgical tools, and an audio recording he played for his victims... a sickening introduction to the hell they were about to endure.In this episode, Brian meticulously breaks down the timeline of Ray's crimes — from his upbringing and background to his relationship with accomplices like Cindy Hendy and the shocking events that led to his eventual arrest. You'll hear the raw details of the investigation, the victim statements that cracked the case open, and the failures in the justice system that allowed him to operate for far too long.But be warned — this episode contains actual audio recordings of David Parker Ray himself. These tapes are deeply disturbing and may not be suitable for all listeners. Listener discretion is strongly advised.As always, Brian presents the facts without filter, offering insight from his background in law enforcement while allowing the weight of the evidence to speak for itself. No frills. No dramatics. Just the unvarnished truth of a case that still haunts investigators to this day.

It was time, folks! During the Dexter episode, Bill told Sandra about Toy Box Killer, David Parker Ray, after mentioning the killer from the TV show that could have been inspired by him. She was a little spooked by the very brief description, so Bill figured, LET'S COVER THAT ONE!!!David Parker Ray was a sadistic serial rapist and killer. He would abduct women, and restrain them in his toy box, a service trailer that he turned into an S&M torture chamber. He would drug them, and when they woke up, he would play a sadistic tape recording of him telling the victim exactly what to expect for the duration of their stay. He would then rape the women for days, weeks, and in some cases, months.3 women survived, although he is strongly suspected of killing many more, as well as abducting and torturing many more. But it was the heroic actions of 3 victims, one of which escaped, that brought Ray's crimes to light, and led to his arrest and conviction.Got a beer you want Doug to review?

David Parker Ray gilt als einer der grausamsten Serienverbrecher der USA – obwohl ihm nie ein Mord nachgewiesen werden konnte. Jahrzehntelang entführte und folterte er Frauen in einem abgelegenen Wohnwagen in New Mexico, den er „Toy Box“ nannte. Erst 1999 flieht ein Opfer – und bringt die Wahrheit ans Licht. Was treibt einen Menschen zu solch perfider Planung, zu ritualisierter Gewalt? In dieser Folge sprechen wir über sexuelle Sadisten, die irritierende Beziehung zwischen Ray und seiner Tochter und die Psychodynamik hinter Rays Taten.#blackbox #psycrime #davidparkerray #toyboxkiller #serienmörder #dissozialePersönlichkeit #sadismus #truecrime #psychologie #trauma Hier bekommt ihr alle Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern: https://linktr.ee/blackbox_psycrime Hosted on Acast.

When a supposed new Mark Twain novel appeared years after his death—allegedly dictated through a Ouija board—it sparked controversy, lawsuits, and the ultimate question: who owns the words of the dead? In this bizarre case of literary rights beyond the grave, the battle wasn't just over authorship, but whether the spirit world had a legal leg to stand on.IN THIS EPISODE: Did Mark Twain write a new novel after he was dead? If so, how? *** Though David Parker Ray's girlfriend Cindy Hendy helped him commit numerous rapes and murders in the 1990s, she was released in 2019 and walks free today. *** Louis Le Prince vanished under mysterious circumstances, but did he willingly decide to hide from the outside world, or was he murdered? *** A man has a dream so disturbing that he's deeply affected by it well after he dreamt it. And the reason it stuck with him could be that it wasn't a dream after all – but a premonition of something horrible to come. *** Shortly after finishing her junior year of high school, Alissa Turner disappeared, never to be seen alive again. Her murder would've gone unsolved if not for the social media platform, TikTok. *** Humans have been fascinated with Mars ever since we learned it was a planet. But why are we so obsessed with it? Is it simply our next step towards deep-space travel, or are we drawn to it for a more basic reason… because our ancestors originated from there? *** There are many UFO sightings on record, but ones that are accompanied by missing time are particularly interesting. Perhaps not least as they might suggest something more akin to alien abduction than just a mere sighting. We'll look at one particular incident that took place in Nebraska in 1966.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Disclaimer and Show Open00:02:43.912 = Do Copyright Laws Apply To Spirit Writing? 00:14:29.527 = The Murder Solved Through TikTok00:20:07.426 = The Nebraska Time Affair00:35:51.680 = The Strange Dreams of Mr. Moir00:40:42.529 = Did Our Ancestors Live On Mars?00:52:53.837 = The Toy Box Killer's Girlfriend01:01:57.766 = The Strange Disappearance of Louis Le Prince01:07:43.703 = Show Close, Verse, and Final ThoughtSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Nebraska Missing Time Affair” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckjf4xe“The Toy Box Killer's Girlfriend” by Marco Margaritoff for All That's Interesting: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8k8j79“The Strange Disappearance of Louis Le Prince” by Jan Bartek for Ancient Pages: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9f5zdd“The Strange Dreams of Mr. Moir” posted at Anomalien: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/33za3tej“The Murder Solved Through TikTok” by Olivia McCormack for Bust.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/42s9je2z“Did Our Ancestors Live On Mars?” posted at Earth-Chronicles.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4j8pcrwe“Do Copyright Laws Apply to Spirit Writing?” posted at Esoterx.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/nzsen4v5=====Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TV=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Join me on this true crime episode as I talk about one of the worst cases that I have ever delved into. Parts of this case made my stomach turn and that is no exaggeration. David Parker Ray is up there as one of the most evil men ever to have set foot on this planet. He spent over 100k creating his infamous Toy Box over a span of 40 years where he tortured, raped and murdered numerous women with his family, partner and friends. Ladies, Gents and People this sounds like a script to possibly the worst horror movie ever created. Welcome to the Case of The Toy Box Killer - David Parker Ray*For best possible listening please use headphones*

HOUR ONE: When you think of human sacrifice, you might picture Aztec or Mayan ceremonies, or maybe a Satanic cult standing in a pentagram with a naked woman on an altar – possibly even a volunteer. Personally, I picture Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. While civilizations and groups such as these certainly did (and maybe still do) their share of brutal sacrificing, they are by no means the only ones that conducted death rituals. Some will most certainly surprise, and possibly disturb, you. (Sadistic Sacrificing of Souls) *** A shadow person is a humanoid figure that you perceive in a patch of shadow. Some believe that they are supernatural spirits or extra-dimensional beings. What are they? Paranormal researchers have a theory, neuroscientists have another theory. (Contact With a Shadow Man) *** An astronomy professor says we should begin focusing on space archaeology – starting with our own moon. Why? Well, he believes E.T. might have left a clue there of his existence. (Extraterrestrial Evidence on the Moon) *** Thousands of years ago, people were performing a form of surgery that involved boring holes through a person's skull. Why on earth would they do such a thing? (Trepanation: I Need That Like Another Hole In The Head) *** What Does It Mean To Dream About Aliens?==========HOUR TWO: David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and killed more than 50 women inside his soundproof trailer. A trailer he referred to as his “toy box”. (The Toy Box Killer) *** Two friends sipping soda and playing pool find the green table stained blood red, with no warning whatsoever. (Murder At The Pool Table) *** Malta, Italy is known for its splendid ruins, historical monuments, and ancient sites, but one of these places stands out; a mysterious underground complex that holds with in it many enigmas and oddities that remain unsolved to this day. (Malta's Cryptic Catacombs) *** Weirdo family member Robert Foster tells of a creepy incident that happened to him while working security at an army depot in Oregon. (The Phantom Truck) *** Imagine opening up the newspaper and reading this paragraph: “If anyone doubts this story in the least… they are reliable men who would under no circumstances lend their names to an untruth.” Newspapers just do not stand by their sources this unwaveringly, at least not anymore… and especially if the subject of the article is a haunted house. (The Ghost Told Them To Move)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: What if we were to discover there were aliens still living on the moon – and they were meddling in our affairs? How would you feel about that? Should extraterrestrials interfere in human affairs if they can help our society, or should we refuse that kind of leap in technology and medicine? (Should Aliens Interfere With Earthly Affairs?) *** Those who work nights are already in the creepy position of working what is called the “graveyard shift” - so you have to expect something to go wrong. If you are a security guard actively looking for something out of the ordinary during the graveyard shift, you know you're going to go home with stories to tell.

TW: gore, violência, agressão física e sexual. Meus queridos arrepios, Eu sei que esta temporada está cheia de trigger warnings, mas este é mais um episódio muito gráfico, com muita violência, especialmente sexual e virada para as mulheres. Hoje, terei em conta apenas alguns detalhes imprescindíveis para contar a história, uma de oportunidades perdidas da lei (muita incompetência policial) das profundezas infinitas da depravação humana e uma história de cidades com nomes engraçados. Este é também um tema que me foi pedido pela Marta desde 2020 (!!) e, por isso, é a minha prenda para ela (ainda que algo macabra e bizarra, mas prometo que ela gosta).

Perhaps a light touch on the shoulder, the moving of an object, a whisper in the ear, or a cold chill for the more intense cases. But then there are those hauntings that leave the person hysterical… or physically hurt… or even dead. We'll look at some of the most violent ghosts and hauntings of all time. (History's Most Violent Ghosts) *** Dixon, Illinois needed a bridge – Mr. L.E. Truesdell was an expert bridge builder. But people had doubts as to whether what he was being asked to do could be accomplished. The naysayers were ignored – and tragedy arrived, (The Truesdell Bridge Disaster) *** The witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts were horrid… the trials in Europe even more so. Now, imagine being a soldier tried as a witch because you returned with supernatural knowledge imparted to you after you were abducted by extraterrestrials. It sounds like the makings of a terrible novel and an even worse movie… but it's the true story of Major Thomas Weir. (The True Story of the Alien Abduction Witch Trial) *** He's believed to have killed over 50 women inside his soundproof torture trailer – which he called his “toy box.” We'll look at the case of serial killer David Parker Ray. (Evils of the Toybox Killer) *** Our criminal justice system tries to be the most fair in the world – considering the accused “innocent until proven guilty.” And while our system is not perfect, for the most part it does its job well. But because it is not perfect, once in a while a murderer walks… or even worse, an innocent defendant goes to prison. And in some cases, that innocent person is convicted and imprisoned based on one thing – they confessed to the crime that they didn't commit. Why would someone do that? (Why Do Innocent People Confess?) *** Port St. Lucie, Florida is full of disturbing urban legends – some true, many false – as urban legends go. But somehow, most all of these terrifying stories tie back to a single oak tree in a neighborhood park, and Florida's first serial killer.

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.

In a recent press conference, attorney John Ray unveiled chilling details about Victoria Heuermann, daughter of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer. Ray presented a series of sadistic images created by Victoria that bore eerie similarities to the brutal murders her father has been charged with. Rex Heuermann, a 60-year-old architect, was initially arrested in July 2023 for the murders of four women, known as the "Gilgo Four," whose remains were discovered in burlap sacks along Ocean Parkway over a decade ago. Last week, Heuermann was charged with two more murders, those of Sandra Costilla and Jessica Taylor. Despite the mounting evidence and charges, Heuermann displayed no emotion during his recent court appearances. During the press conference, Ray highlighted several of Victoria's disturbing artworks and re-posted images from her Tumblr account. These images included graphic depictions of dismembered body parts and cannibalistic fantasies, which Ray compared to the alleged methods of the Gilgo Beach murders.  "The evidence that we have suggests that we have been sold a story by the Heuermann family," Ray stated. He emphasized that Victoria, who often appeared innocent in public, had a darker side revealed through her online presence. "Victoria's true self is a very different self," Ray added. Ray suggested that Victoria, now 27, might be linked to some of the murders her father is charged with. He proposed that Victoria could have been surrounded by these gruesome acts and become desensitized, a concept forensic psychologist Dr. Gary Brucato referred to as "normalization." Brucato also mentioned the possibility of Victoria suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, where a victim develops psychological bonds with their captor or abuser. "The jury is out on what this was about," Brucato remarked, noting that about 20% of serial killers operate in groups. He drew parallels to cases like David Parker Ray, the "Toy-Box Killer," who allegedly tortured and killed numerous women with the help of his daughter. Ray further questioned the certainty of District Attorney Raymond Tierney's announcement that hair evidence found on some of Rex Heuermann's victims was transferred by him. Ray speculated that the hairs could belong to Victoria herself, which might "tip the card a little bit." Victoria's mother, Asa Ellerup, and Victoria have both deleted their social media accounts, according to Ray. This move came after Ray's office discovered and revealed seven disturbing images from Victoria's alleged Tumblr blog, which she had failed to erase entirely. Ray displayed one image of a hanged person missing a shoe, a detail eerily similar to the discovery of Sandra Castillo's body. Another image depicted remains that appeared "half-eaten," reflecting the cannibalistic interests attributed to Victoria. Other images showed severed limbs, mirroring the dismemberment found in some of Rex Heuermann's alleged victims. Dr. Brucato compared the Heuermann case to that of John Wayne Gacy, who was initially thought to be a lone wolf but is now believed to have had accomplices. "There is a tendency to think that these people are lone wolves who cannot have connections with other people," Brucato explained. Sherre Gilbert, sister of victim Shannan Gilbert, criticized Ray's press conference on social media, calling it "disrespectful" and urging focus solely on her sister's case. Rex Heuermann's family maintains they were unaware of his double life. Ellerup, who filed for divorce shortly after Heuermann's arrest, continues to assert her estranged husband's innocence. "After 27 years with Mr. Heuermann, Ms. Ellerup maintains the belief that her estranged husband is not capable of committing these heinous acts," stated Ellerup's attorney, Robert Macedonio. As the investigation continues, the revelations about Victoria Heuermann's disturbing artwork and potential involvement in the murders add a new, unsettling layer to the case.

In a recent press conference, attorney John Ray unveiled chilling details about Victoria Heuermann, daughter of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer. Ray presented a series of sadistic images created by Victoria that bore eerie similarities to the brutal murders her father has been charged with. Rex Heuermann, a 60-year-old architect, was initially arrested in July 2023 for the murders of four women, known as the "Gilgo Four," whose remains were discovered in burlap sacks along Ocean Parkway over a decade ago. Last week, Heuermann was charged with two more murders, those of Sandra Costilla and Jessica Taylor. Despite the mounting evidence and charges, Heuermann displayed no emotion during his recent court appearances. During the press conference, Ray highlighted several of Victoria's disturbing artworks and re-posted images from her Tumblr account. These images included graphic depictions of dismembered body parts and cannibalistic fantasies, which Ray compared to the alleged methods of the Gilgo Beach murders.  "The evidence that we have suggests that we have been sold a story by the Heuermann family," Ray stated. He emphasized that Victoria, who often appeared innocent in public, had a darker side revealed through her online presence. "Victoria's true self is a very different self," Ray added. Ray suggested that Victoria, now 27, might be linked to some of the murders her father is charged with. He proposed that Victoria could have been surrounded by these gruesome acts and become desensitized, a concept forensic psychologist Dr. Gary Brucato referred to as "normalization." Brucato also mentioned the possibility of Victoria suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, where a victim develops psychological bonds with their captor or abuser. "The jury is out on what this was about," Brucato remarked, noting that about 20% of serial killers operate in groups. He drew parallels to cases like David Parker Ray, the "Toy-Box Killer," who allegedly tortured and killed numerous women with the help of his daughter. Ray further questioned the certainty of District Attorney Raymond Tierney's announcement that hair evidence found on some of Rex Heuermann's victims was transferred by him. Ray speculated that the hairs could belong to Victoria herself, which might "tip the card a little bit." Victoria's mother, Asa Ellerup, and Victoria have both deleted their social media accounts, according to Ray. This move came after Ray's office discovered and revealed seven disturbing images from Victoria's alleged Tumblr blog, which she had failed to erase entirely. Ray displayed one image of a hanged person missing a shoe, a detail eerily similar to the discovery of Sandra Castillo's body. Another image depicted remains that appeared "half-eaten," reflecting the cannibalistic interests attributed to Victoria. Other images showed severed limbs, mirroring the dismemberment found in some of Rex Heuermann's alleged victims. Dr. Brucato compared the Heuermann case to that of John Wayne Gacy, who was initially thought to be a lone wolf but is now believed to have had accomplices. "There is a tendency to think that these people are lone wolves who cannot have connections with other people," Brucato explained. Sherre Gilbert, sister of victim Shannan Gilbert, criticized Ray's press conference on social media, calling it "disrespectful" and urging focus solely on her sister's case. Rex Heuermann's family maintains they were unaware of his double life. Ellerup, who filed for divorce shortly after Heuermann's arrest, continues to assert her estranged husband's innocence. "After 27 years with Mr. Heuermann, Ms. Ellerup maintains the belief that her estranged husband is not capable of committing these heinous acts," stated Ellerup's attorney, Robert Macedonio.

Join the Boozy Bitches as they discuss the horrible crimes committed by David Parker Ray, also known as the Toy Box Killer.  Although he was convicted of the kidnapping and torture of three women, it's suspected that he murdered up to 60 women over the course of 40 years.   There are also some updates to past stories, as well as our drink of the week, our version of a Rum Rickey.Connect with us on Instagram for our drink of the week>>>   https://www.instagram.com/boozybanterwithfriends/For more info, visit our website>>>   https://boozybanterwithfriends.com/

IN THIS EPISODE: Did Mark Twain write a new novel after he was dead? If so, how? *** Though David Parker Ray's girlfriend Cindy Hendy helped him commit numerous rapes and murders in the 1990s, she was released in 2019 and walks free today. *** Louis Le Prince vanished under mysterious circumstances, but did he willingly decide to hide from the outside world, or was he murdered? *** A man has a dream so disturbing that he's deeply affected by it well after he dreamt it. And the reason it stuck with him could be that it wasn't a dream after all – but a premonition of something horrible to come. *** Shortly after finishing her junior year of high school, Alissa Turner disappeared, never to be seen alive again. Her murder would've gone unsolved if not for the social media platform, TikTok. *** Humans have been fascinated with Mars ever since we learned it was a planet. But why are we so obsessed with it? Is it simply our next step towards deep-space travel, or are we drawn to it for a more basic reason… because our ancestors originated from there? *** There are many UFO sightings on record, but ones that are accompanied by missing time are particularly interesting. Perhaps not least as they might suggest something more akin to alien abduction than just a mere sighting. We'll look at one particular incident that took place in Nebraska in 1966.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Nebraska Missing Time Affair” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckjf4xe“The Toy Box Killer's Girlfriend” by Marco Margaritoff for All That's Interesting: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8k8j79“The Strange Disappearance of Louis Le Prince” by Jan Bartek for Ancient Pages: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9f5zdd“The Strange Dreams of Mr. Moir” posted at Anomalien: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/33za3tej“The Murder Solved Through TikTok” by Olivia McCormack for Bust.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/42s9je2z“Did Our Ancestors Live On Mars?” posted at Earth-Chronicles.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4j8pcrwe“Do Copyright Laws Apply to Spirit Writing?” posted at Esoterx.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/nzsen4v5Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

This week, in Phillips, Wisconsin, it's someone who can best be compared to a mixture of BTK, Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and David Parker Ray (Toy Box Killer). His fantasies got out of control, so he attacked, tortured, murdered, and ate parts of his victims. He also argues with himself in different voices, and made a tape, that details all of the horrible things he did... And it's all true!!Along the way, we find out that the title of "Alice In Dairyland" is quite coveted, that if you're into bondage, when you're 10, you may need some help, in the future, and that it's hard to deny your own audio recorded confessions, when all the evidence matches up!!Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie WhismanNew episodes every Thursday!Donate at: patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.comGo to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder & Crime In Sports!Follow us on...twitter.com/@murdersmallfacebook.com/smalltownpodinstagram.com/smalltownmurderAlso, check out James & Jimmie's other show, Crime In Sports!

HOUR ONE: David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and killed more than 50 women inside his soundproof trailer. A trailer he referred to as his “toy box”. (The Toy Box Killer) *** Two friends sipping soda and playing pool find the green table stained blood red, with no warning whatsoever. (Murder At The Pool Table) *** Malta, Italy is known for its splendid ruins, historical monuments, and ancient sites, but one of these places stands out; a mysterious underground complex that holds with in it many enigmas and oddities that remain unsolved to this day. (Malta's Cryptic Catacombs) *** Weirdo family member Robert Foster tells of a creepy incident that happened to him while working security at an army depot in Oregon. (The Phantom Truck) *** Imagine opening up the newspaper and reading this paragraph: “If anyone doubts this story in the least… they are reliable men who would under no circumstances lend their names to an untruth.” Newspapers just do not stand by their sources this unwaveringly, at least not anymore… and especially if the subject of the article is a haunted house. (The Ghost Told Them To Move)==========HOUR TWO: When you think of human sacrifice, you might picture Aztec or Mayan ceremonies, or maybe a Satanic cult standing in a pentagram with a naked woman on an altar – possibly even a volunteer. Personally, I picture Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. While civilizations and groups such as these certainly did (and maybe still do) their share of brutal sacrificing, they are by no means the only ones that conducted death rituals. Some will most certainly surprise, and possibly disturb, you. (Sadistic Sacrificing of Souls) *** A shadow person is a humanoid figure that you perceive in a patch of shadow. Some believe that they are supernatural spirits or extra-dimensional beings. What are they? Paranormal researchers have a theory, neuroscientists have another theory. (Contact With a Shadow Man) *** An astronomy professor says we should begin focusing on space archaeology – starting with our own moon. Why? Well, he believes E.T. might have left a clue there of his existence. (Extraterrestrial Evidence on the Moon) *** Thousands of years ago, people were performing a form of surgery that involved boring holes through a person's skull. Why on earth would they do such a thing? (Trepanation: I Need That Like Another Hole In The Head) *** What Does It Mean To Dream About Aliens?==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: What if we were to discover there were aliens still living on the moon – and they were meddling in our affairs? How would you feel about that? Should extraterrestrials interfere in human affairs if they can help our society, or should we refuse that kind of leap in technology and medicine? (Should Aliens Interfere With Earthly Affairs?) *** Those who work nights are already in the creepy position of working what is called the “graveyard shift” - so you have to expect something to go wrong. If you are a security guard actively looking for something out of the ordinary during the graveyard shift, you know you're going to go home with stories to tell.

Grab your buckles and comfort pillows Creeps! We have finally come to the debut of our heaviest case we've covered in our podcast history. David Parker Ray was born and bred in the environment of evil and became a product of it. He is responsible for the murder of anywhere from 40-60 women during his 40 years of active killing. But if that wasn't enough, he also made history with his...Toy Box and House of Horrors where he would kidnap women and keep them as his personal torture slaves. On this episode and part one, the girls crack this wide open - examine his childhood and leave us cringing, with a whole new unease of Creeps.

This week we unravel the twisted narrative of a monster who turned a seemingly ordinary box into a chamber of unspeakable horrors. Brace yourselves as we examine the details of the crimes, the investigation that brought this malevolent figure to justice, and the lingering questions that continue to haunt our collective consciousness.

If you're not already familiar with The Toybox Killer case, you're about to be….and head's up that it's from the deepest, darkest, stankest part of history's colon. You may need a fresh baptism afterwards just from listening.If you've ever wondered why there's such a loud movement to shut down social media accounts teaching misogyny, and backlash to violent pornography, this story is a great example. It's also further argument AGAINST smacking kids around, and/or letting them be exposed to violent and emotionally unfit parents, because while the Toybox Killer may have been born with a screw loose, his upbringing only made things worse.It all goes down in a bleak and dusty stretch of desert just outside Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.Support the show

David Parker Ray, famously recognized as The Toy Box Killer, emerged as a malevolent force within the realm of American crime. Born on November 6, 1939, in the state of New Mexico, he evolved into a figure of unparalleled darkness, engaging in acts of kidnapping, torture, rape, and potentially even serial murder. His nefarious deeds were further amplified by the existence of his abominable "toy box," a repurposed trailer meticulously equipped with an array of diabolical tools and contraptions specifically crafted for the purpose of inflicting unimaginable suffering.Support Our SponsorsVisit 4 Patriots Use Promo Code SASQUATCH for 10% off your first purchase!Sasquatch Odyssey Is Sponsored By BetterHelpVisit HelloFresh Now For Your 16 Free Meals!Get Dave Here!Visit Hangar1 PublishingSupport The Showhttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalworldproductionsShow Website And Bloghttps://paranormalworldproductions.comAll The Socials And Stuff/Contact Brianhttps://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProductionsbrian@paranormalworldproductions.com Follow The Show On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/truecrimeodysseyThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5309458/advertisement

PLEASE SHARE THIS EPISODE in your social media so others who loves strange and macabre stories can listen too!IN THIS EPISODE: Many ghost stories are frightening but leave the person encountering them shaken, but no more worse for wear. Perhaps a light touch on the shoulder, the moving of an object, a whisper in the ear, or a cold chill for the more intense cases. But then there are those hauntings that leave the person hysterical… or physically hurt… or even dead. We'll look at some of the most violent ghosts and hauntings of all time. (History's Most Violent Ghosts) *** Dixon, Illinois needed a bridge – Mr. L.E. Truesdell was an expert bridge builder. But people had doubts as to whether what he was being asked to do could be accomplished. The naysayers were ignored – and tragedy arrived, (The Truesdell Bridge Disaster) *** The witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts were horrid… the trials in Europe even more so. Now, imagine being a soldier tried as a witch because you returned with supernatural knowledge imparted to you after you were abducted by extraterrestrials. It sounds like the makings of a terrible novel and an even worse movie… but it's the true story of Major Thomas Weir. (The True Story of the Alien Abduction Witch Trial) *** He's believed to have killed over 50 women inside his soundproof torture trailer – which he called his “toy box.” We'll look at the case of serial killer David Parker Ray. (Evils of the Toybox Killer) *** Our criminal justice system tries to be the most fair in the world – considering the accused “innocent until proven guilty.” And while our system is not perfect, for the most part it does its job well. But because it is not perfect, once in a while a murderer walks… or even worse, an innocent defendant goes to prison. And in some cases, that innocent person is convicted and imprisoned based on one thing – they confessed to the crime that they didn't commit. Why would someone do that? (Why Do Innocent People Confess?) *** Port St. Lucie, Florida is full of disturbing urban legends – some true, many false – as urban legends go. But somehow, most all of these terrifying stories tie back to a single oak tree in a neighborhood park, and Florida's first serial killer.

Special Guest Star(?) Erika Christensen swoops in from outer spa—er, the FBI to help the Unit find a gruesome serial killer and his likely next victim. Of course, nothing is as it seems and Lake and Benson have to try to figure out what all is amiss in an effort to find said victim. And obviously, the entire time you watch this episode, you wish that this Special Agent Cooper was a better-known Special Agent Cooper and that this one was not making mistakes that Dale Cooper would never make. The weirdness of this SVU also forces Josh and Adam to reckon with what might be the darkest Second Unit shoot in this show's illustrious history, gets Adam looking into his urban foraging options in Central Park, and diving into the case of The Toy-Box Killer.Music:Divorcio Suave - "Munchy Business"Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Nikki B, Whitney C, D Reduble, Tony B, Zak B, Barry W, Karen D, Sara L, Miriam J, Drew D, Meghan M, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Isabel P, Christine L, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, and Angie H - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

On Saturday, June 10th, 2023 Unabomber Ted Kaczynski was found dead in his federal prison cell at age 81. A mathematics prodigy, Kaczynski received a Harvard education and worked as a professor at UC Berkeley before isolating himself from society. In a remote cabin in Montana, Kaczynski created a number of bombs targeting people who he believed were responsible for the industrialization of society and the advancement of technology.  Retired FBI Profiler Dr. Mary Ellen O'Toole shares her reaction to Kaczynski's death and discusses her involvement in the Unabomber case. Later, she explains how the FBI looks out for warning signs exhibited by Kaczynski while investigating today's criminals as well. During her time with the FBI, Dr. O'Toole investigated various high-profile criminals and cases, including the Zodiac Killer, the Toy Box Killer, and the bombing at the 2002 Olympic games. Dr. O'Toole was one of the most senior profilers with the FBI and was recognized for her expertise in "psychopathy." In her book, Dangerous Instincts, she details how readers can understand human behavior to keep themselves safe from harm.

In Part 1 of this gruesome case, we were introduced to the Toy Box Killer and to some of the ways in which he tortured his victims inside a soundproof, escape-proof cargo trailer (known as the "toy box") kept on his property in Elephant Butte, New Mexico.  Alarmingly, what we've heard until this point has only scratched the surface.  Part 2 of this case explains, in full detail, all of the additional (and disturbing) ways in which the Toy Box Killer continued to escalate his level of depravity while bringing in a VERY twisted female accomplice to help exact his brutality.  The barbarity displayed inside the "toy box" is matched only by the bravery and strength seen in some of the survivors, whose courageous pursuit of justice helped to finally intercept the heinous reign of the Toy Box Killer.  You will not believe how this case wraps up.

And the reason it stuck with him could be that it wasn't a dream after all – but a premonition of something horrible to come. *** Shortly after finishing her junior year of high school, Alissa Turner disappeared, never to be seen alive again. Her murder would've gone unsolved if not for the social media platform, TikTok. *** Humans have been fascinated with Mars ever since we learned it was a planet. But why are we so obsessed with it? Is it simply our next step towards deep-space travel, or are we drawn to it for a more basic reason… because our ancestors originated from there? *** There are many UFO sightings on record, but ones that are accompanied by missing time are particularly interesting. Perhaps not least as they might suggest something more akin to alien abduction than just a mere sighting. We'll look at one particular incident that took place in Nebraska in 1966. *** Did Mark Twain write a new novel after he was dead?SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…“The Nebraska Missing Time Affair” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckjf4xe “The Toy Box Killer's Girlfriend” by Marco Margaritoff for All That's Interesting: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8k8j79 “The Strange Disappearance of Louis Le Prince” by Jan Bartek for Ancient Pages: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9f5zdd “The Strange Dreams of Mr. Moir” posted at Anomalien: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/33za3tej “The Murder Solved Through TikTok” by Olivia McCormack for Bust.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/42s9je2z “Did Our Ancestors Live On Mars?” posted at Earth-Chronicles.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4j8pcrwe “Do Copyright Laws Apply to Spirit Writing?” posted at Esoterx.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/nzsen4v5= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.

David Parker Ray, more famously known as the Toy Box Killer, fancied himself a highly skilled sexual scientist who would abduct women (thereafter referred to as “pretty pieces of meat”) before inflicting upon them immeasurable pain through sexual experimentation and inhumane torture.  First, he would psychologically break down his victims.  Then, he would violently assault them inside a soundproof trailer referred to as his “toy box,”  using various implements of torture while carefully documenting, filming, and cataloging his observations.  There are so many elements to this twisted case that we've organized it into two episodes.  Please listen with caution - this case is truly what nightmares are made of.
