Product Description

Product Description
Beside New Mexico's Elephant Butte Lake stood a windowless trailer which owner David Parker Ray, 59, and his girlfriend Cynthia Hendy, 39, called The Toy Box. A $100,000 homemade torture chamber, it was equipped with whips, chains, pulleys, straps, clamps, leg spreader bars, and surgical blades and saws. A camcorder stood next to the leather-padded torture table-set up for making "snuff" videos - while a ceiling-mounted video monitor allowed female victims to see every excruciating detail of the agonies inflicted on them by their captors."Never Trust A Chained Captive". That was one of the rules David Ray kept posted as a reminder to himself and his followers. Its truth was proven on March 22, 1999 when, after surviving a three-day torture orgy, Cyndi Vigil, 22, stabbed Hendy with an ice pick and escaped, clad only in a slave collar and padlocked chains. She told police that she'd been kidnapped, raped and tortured by Ray and Hendy. A second victim, Angie Montano, 27, came forward to describe how she'd survived a similar ordeal less than a month before.Satanist Ray was the centre of a web of sadism, sex slavery and murder. His disciple, drifter Dennis Roy Yancy, confessed to strangling to death Marie Parker, 22, while Ray took photos. Ray's daughter Jesse, 31, was convicted of helping her father kidnap and torture Kelli Van Cleve, 22. Cynthia Hendy told authorities that Ray had killed 14 women. Police believe that he may have slain more than 60. On September 20, 2001, Ray was sentenced to 224 years in prison.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slow Death, 8 Feb 2004
Wow what a book. I read the first few pages and thought- "I can't read anymore its sick". But I paid the money and read it. It was the the first book that has trully shocked me and I felt sick reading about David Parker Ray. What a sick individual. But although it was the worst book I've read (not written bad just the story) - I can't beleive its a true account. But having said that I couldn't put it down. I wouldn't recommend it if you are shocked easily.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow Death, 24 Jul 2003
Excellent book for the court case alone.The book itself is very hard going and can make you feel uneasy about how this could happen for such a long time and go unseen.The book is written with style of hatred and deliberate attempt to get under your skin which it does brilliantly.Not for the lighthearted and not for people with a sense of humour this book is raw and nasty but you find it hard not to read it till the end.

3.0 out of 5 stars One step too far..., 29 Jul 2004
By Mrs. Sally Watts "sally3142" (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a reader of true crime, I thought on the face of it this book would be as 'entertaining' and fascinating as say, 10 Rillington Place, or the Bundy stories. But something is lacking from this; there's no empathy with the victims... I know that sounds harsh, but it's hard to find sympathy with crimes that were committed in a community that seems to consist of mainly drug dealers and prostitutes. The main characters in the true life drama seem to be mainly no-good types, bad to the core, and it's hard to get the genuine feeling of shock and wonderment at human nature that true crime enthusiasts feel. In fact, you tend to feel more sympathy with the FBI agent who committed suicide at the start of the book after witnessing and cataloguing the "toy box" than you do with the victims themselves. It's well written, I'll give it that, but the reading of it makes you feel almost as thrill-seeking and sordid as the perpetrators. These people are bad, we know that... why read on?
