(More customer reviews)The account of this case by Jim Fielder is the closest you can get without having access to the case files of the State Police and the FBI. Fielder did not get his information from court transcripts but was present for the hearings, trials and sentencing in this case. While other books and articles guessed as to what the items in David Ray's "toy box" looked like, Fielder gained acces to the photos used as evidence and presents them to his readers.
The information and accounts are accurate. His fresh approach to the book, as a story rather than "just the facts" gives the reader some insight into the persons who participated in this case which lasted 2 1/2 years. While Fielder takes some license as far as the interaction between the participants in this case, nothing about the case is factually inacurate. Jim Fielder takes you on an eye-opening journey into the world of criminal sexual sadism practiced by David Ray, a man the FBI described as so dangerous that if he were ever released from custody "he would re-offend before he got home." How do I know how accurate the book is - I prosecuted the case. Jim Yontz, Deputy District Attorney, Albuquerque, New Mexico

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.
