Never Trust a Chained Captive.
That was one of the rules David Parker Ray posted on the isolated property where he and his girlfriend Cynthia Hendy lived near New Mexicos Elephant Butte Lake. They called their windowless trailer The Toybox. Over the years they lured countless young women into its chamber of unspeakable pain and horror--and filmed every moment.
A Satanist, Ray was the center of a web of sadism, sex slavery, and murder. Authorities suspect he murdered more than 60 women. In October 2011, a flood of tips led to a renewed search for the remains of more possible victims. This updated edition reveals all the details, plus the inside story on the controversial movie based on these unforgettable events.
An eye-opening journey into the world of criminal sexual sadism. --Jim Yontz, Deputy District Attorney, Albuquerque, New Mexico

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thanks to all my friends in New Mexico, especially Jim Yontz, Lee McMillian, Frances (Baird) Sanchez, and Connie Burch.

Every writer needs a big break to get published. I want to thank the following editors and writers who helped me find my way through the dog-eat-dog world of publishing: Craig Lewis, Gregg Olsen, Judy Alexander, Paul Dinas, and Michaela Hamilton.

And, finally, thanks to Ernest Hemingway and Truman Capotethe guys who made me want to be a writer someday.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
The late Jim Fielder was a journalist based in Seattle, Washington. He wrote for the Globe, the New York Post, and Reuters International. On his behalf, a new update to Slow Death has been written by veteran true-crime writer Sheila Johnson.
Sheila Johnson is the author of Blood Lust, Blood Highway, and Blood Betrayal. Her experience as a newspaper crime reporter created a natural transition into writing true-crime books about some of the cases she covered, as well as the killers and victims she came to know. Her close working relationship with law enforcement has given her inside access to statements, case files, and testimony that she has used to create a clear, overall picture of murderers and their victims, defense attorneys and prosecutors, and the dedicated investigators who work tirelessly to bring killers to justice. She lives in Collinsville, Alabama.
EPILOGUE
I dont give a rats ass if they send me to prison for the rest of my life.
David Parker Ray talking to Jim Fielder
Jailhouse Interview
August 21st, 2001
Jailhouse Interview
August 21st, 2001
| DAVID PARKER RAY | During the 8/21/2001 interview in Truth or Consequences, Ray said, Prison is like a dog pound, but at least with dogs you can kill them when they get out-of-control. Then he added, If my heart stopped today, it wouldnt bother me at all. On May 28, 2002, Ray got his wish. He was sitting in his jail cell at the Correctional Facility in Dobbs, New Mexico, when his heart stopped and he died. He was sixty-two years old. |
| JIM YONTZ | On January 7, 2002, Yontz was back in Albuquerque working his new job as a Deputy DA in the Violent Crimes Unit. Work keeps him busy. This April we had nine murders in nine days, he reported. As far as David dyinghe shruggedit was untimely but not unexpected. |
| FRANCES BAIRD SANCHEZ | After turning down three offers to write for the Associated Press, she is still living in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, and working as a crime reporter for the Sierra County Sentinel . She is married and expecting her first child (a baby girl!) on November 11, 2002. When asked how she felt after Ray died, she said, Id rather imagine him burning in Hell than sitting around his jail cell and watching reruns of Lonesome Dove. |
| LEE McMILLIAN | On October 1, 2001, McMillian switched from defense to prosecutor and took over Jim Yontzs old job working as the Deputy D.A. out in Estancia, New Mexico. When asked about David, he said, Hes the meanest person I ever metand yet he was so nice. Then McMillian added, David created what the FBI calls THE TORTURE BOOKonly three people in the world have ever seen the hundreds of pages of text and drawings. Then McMillian shuddered. Its too dangerous to let any other human being seeyou cant read it without having nightmares. |
| JESSE RAY | She is a free woman, walking the streets of Albuquerque, New Mexico. My dad was always innocent, she tells anyone who will listen. |
| CINDY HENDY | She is serving out her thirty-six- year sentence at the prison in Grants, New Mexico. |
| DENNIS ROY YANCY | He is serving out his twenty-year sentence at the prison in Los Lunas, New Mexico. |
| CYNDY VIGIL | She has a job working as a waitress in a roadside cafe on Highway 66 and has given birth to two healthy baby boys since escaping from The Toy Box. She lives with her boyfriend in Albuquerque, New Mexico. |
| KELLI GARRETT | She lives with her boyfriend in Craig, Colorado. On June 30, 2002, she gave birth to her first child, a healthy baby boy. When asked about Ray dying, she said, My first emotion was complete shock, but it pisses me off that he died. I wanted him to live long enough to give up a few secretslike what he did to all those other girls. Then she paused, and added, Im not sure how I want to feel. |
| TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, NEW MEXICO | If you have additional information about crimes committed by David Parker Ray, please call Truth or Consequences and ask for Assistant DA June Stein. Her number is 1-505-894-9033. |
EPILOGUE
All of the agencies involved in the continuing search for victims of David Parker Ray are anxious to hear from anyone who might have even the smallest shred of information that could help them in the case.
The readers of this book are urged to go to the FBI website or Facebook page and look closely at all the items that are shown there. Some of those items are so unique and individual that there must surely be someone who will recognize them as having belonged to someone they knew, perhaps someone who has been missing for many years ( http://www.fbi.gov/news/news_blog/fbi-releases-images-in-david-parker-ray-case ).
Contact numbers for some of the agencies are listed on those sites, and those and other contacts are listed below:
Detective Richard Lewis, Albuquerque Police Department, rlewis@cabq.gov, (505) 924-6095
FBI Albuquerque, (505) 889-1300
Australian Crimestoppers, 1800 333 000
AFTERWORD
When I was asked to update the late Jim Fielders book Slow Death, I felt very honored. Mr. Fielders excellent work on the David Parker Ray case had continued even after Rays death in prison, and Fielder had narrated several videos and taken part in many television documentaries about Ray and his crimes.
There was another reason I was particularly pleased to write this update. Slow Death was the first Pinnacle True Crime book I had ever read, even before beginning work on my own first book, Blood Highway.
When I began to look into all the many developments in the case since Slow Death was first released, I was amazed. It was almost as if Ray were still alive, pulling the strings of the other players who were still living, and continuing to leave law enforcement stumped. So many clues and tips poured into the FBI and the Albuquerque Police Department, most of which produced no results. People came forward to give statements; some were followed up, but others were ignored because of so many people crying wolf.
