How Did The Toy Box Killer Get His Creepy Name?

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Within hours, police placed Ray and Hendy under arrest. On their property was a Ryder truck that investigators opened, probably not imagining what they might find inside. When they entered, they found themselves inside a box truck that Ray had converted into a room that held items he had amassed to satisfy his sadistic desires. Whips, medical tools, syringes full of sedatives, a device that could deliver electrical shocks, and other instruments of torture were arranged inside, along with a wide variety of sex toys. It appeared as though they had stumbled across the "toy box" that Ray had threatened to take Vigil to.

The investigation into Ray and Hendy yielded two more torture victims being identified. Kelli Garrett, a friend of Ray's daughter Jesse, had been drugged and subjected to the same violence that Ray had inflicted on Vigil. Ray had her drugged so much that she couldn't recall what happened when she was found days later. A videotape of Garrett being victimized by Ray was discovered during the police search of Ray's property, eventually leading to Garrett being identified as a victim that survived Ray (per All That's Interesting). 

Ray was also linked to the disappearance of Marie Parker, who had been missing since 1997. A co-worker of Ray's, Dennis Roy Yancy, with the help of Ray's daughter Jesse, drugged and kidnapped Parker. Yancy would admit that he and Ray both tortured and sexually assaulted the woman, who was Yancy's ex-girlfriend. Yancy strangled Parker to death and disposed of the body (per Thought Catalog).
