Summary
In a small New Mexico town with a name that sounds like a game show, a nightmare was unfolding behind closed doors. David Parker Ray wasn’t your average maintenance man—he built a torture chamber he called the “Toy Box,” where vulnerable women were trapped, tormented, and left to disappear. This episode dives into the twisted mind and dark deeds of a man who took advantage of a forgotten community, revealing the chilling reality behind the facade of a quiet town. You’ll hear about the brave escape that finally brought him down, the disturbing network he ran, and the lasting impact on those who survived. It’s brief, it’s bingeable, and it’s one hell of a story you’ll want to hear.
