Another Victim — David Parker Ray: The Toy Box Killer — Crime Library
Soon the case against Ray gained additional strength. When the
incident was reported in newspapers, Angelica M. from nearby Truth or
Consequences (T or C) came forward to say that she'd suffered a similar
ordeal at the hands of this couple just the month before. She was not
the woman in the video, so she was yet a third possible victim. She was
an acquaintance of the defendants, she said, and she had entered their
home on February 17 looking for cake mix. Ray had left and come back
with a knife, informing her that she was being kidnapped. She had looked
over at Hendy and had seen her holding a gun. She knew then that they
were serious.
They grabbed her, bound her, and
stripped her. Harnessing her onto a table, they then placed a metal
collar on her, attached electrodes to her breasts, and jolted her with
severe electrical shocks and abused her with various sexual implements.
Then Ray forced her to give him oral sex. This ordeal went on for three
days, she claimed, at which point, she was taken from the main trailer
to a smaller one and strapped to a chair. They ran electrical currents
through her body, shocking her repeatedly in her most sensitive areas.
She begged the couple to release her.
Finally on the
fourth day of her ordeal, she managed to persuade them to let her go.
They had taken her miles away and dumped her out on a local highway, out
in the desert, where a police officer picked her up. She'd reported
what had happened to her, but the report was apparently filed without
follow-up. Now that Ray and Hendy had been charged with criminal
behavior in a similar incident, she had decided to pursue her case. They
received more charges, now totaling 25. When reporters pressed,
officials were unable to provide details about why Hendy and Ray had not
been investigated or arrested in February. But investigators from many
jurisdictions were taking it seriously now.
