Summary

This week, the girls head to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, to cover arguably the most terrifying offender they have encountered: David Parker Ray aka The Toy-Box Killer.

In 1999 a 911 call alerted police to a naked woman, covered in blood, running down the dusty desert streets - she had a dog collar around her neck and a 6 foot metal chain trailing behind her. Upon investigation, this small-town police team uncovered the truly unbelievable horrors that had been unfolding right under their noses in an innocuous looking trailer behind 513 Bass Road...

I'm Hannah, I'm Sramruti and welcome to Redhanded. This week is our first two-parter in absolutely

ages. I was trying to think of what the last one we did was I think it might have been Richard Chase.

0:38.6

No, I think it was Fred and Rose West. Really? Yeah. They were after Richard Chase.

0:45.6

Were they? Or maybe it was Maul's. Who knows? It was ages ago. It was absolute. It was another lifetime.

0:51.6

Life was so different then. Finally, finally, finally this week, we're taking you off to truth or

0:58.6

consequences in New Mexico. As a lot of you have pointed out on the Facebook group, it actually used to be called Hot Springs,

1:05.6

which is a lot less exciting. I believe that there are actual Hot Springs there, so someone was just like,

1:10.6

that is what we will call it. One of my favourite games in the world to play is Lazy Words in English. Fireplaces my favourite.

1:16.6

That's brilliant. I feel like there are just so many places in the world called Hot Springs in every language.

1:22.6

I was in Peru and it just sounds a lot better in Spanish. Most things do, didn't I? Agua Skellion desu.

1:27.6

It's like, oh, that sounds so much better than Hot Springs, but it doesn't sound as good as truth or consequences.

1:33.6

We have talked about this town many, many times on this show, completely out of context and completely unnecessarily.

1:39.6

The name of that town fucking scares me. Yeah. Maybe it's also all the murder and torture though.

1:44.6

But that doesn't actually happen in truth or consequences. It happens down the road.

1:48.6

All right, which is what no one tells you. Apart from us, don't worry about it. I can understand why people say it's truth or consequences,

1:55.6

but it's not actually. Anyway, quick truth or consequences fact that you shared with us on the Facebook group.

2:00.6

The town changed its name from Hot Springs to the new, more on-minus sounding one in 1950.

2:06.6

As a celebration of the 10-year anniversary of a popular radio quiz show with the same name. What a weird prize.

2:13.6

That is outrageous. The first town to say yes, new weird name.

2:17.6

I don't even like what? I don't want to say to that. Why would you rename your town after a game show?

2:23.6

Because it's the 10th anniversary. None of that makes sense.
