In the fall of 1999, a 22-year-old woman was discovered naked and bleeding on the streets of a small New Mexico town south of Albuquerque. She was chained to a padlocked metal collar. The tale she told authorities - of being beaten, raped, and tortured with electric shock - was unthinkable. Until she led them to 59-year-old David Ray Parker, his 39-year-old fiancee Cindy Hendy, and the lakeside trailer they called their "toy box." What the FBI uncovered was unprecedented in the annals of serial crime: restraining devices, elaborate implements of torture, books on human anatomy, medical equipment, scalpels, and a gynecologist's examination table. But these horrors were only part of the shocking story that would unfold in a stunning trial...

I enjoyed this book. the 1st chapter kept my interest the most. it seemed to get a little dry after that but definitely able to finish. I haven't heard of this case so was very shocked on how evil a human can b. actually how the evil of 1 person can spread to others n follow. narrator was easy to listen to but like I stated the writing would seem to lose my interest when going on n on about certain things.( just didn't want to spoil any of the story for ya😉)

makes u definitely wonder who ur neighbors are!

Probably the last third of the book is the most interesting detailing the trial and shenanigans there within.

Interesting but a little sensationalist

In the fall of 1999, a 22-year-old woman was discovered naked and bleeding on the streets of a small New Mexico town south of Albuquerque. The first few chapters drew me in so fast! John Glant always delivers on TC stories.

Narrative is on point with this one! So sad this young woman had to experience such trauma.

TC fascinating story telling.

“Cries in the Desert” document Ed nets the story of sexual sadist and serial killer David Parker Ray. It is well written and well performed. I listened to the whole book in one day because I found it fascinating.

The story in its self was captivating and researched well, my only complaint is the way it was read.

Monologue was the only problem

I enjoyed this reading. It was very well researched and the reader did a great job with the inflections and delivering it in a way that wasn't offensive and it didn't seem he wasn't trying to hard. If you are interested in true crime stories then I definitely would recommend this book but be ready for some difficult and sometimes hard to listen to details of the crimes committed.

Very well researched

This was hard to listen to, listening to his welcome tape to his victims scared me to death, I can't even think what their thoughts were. The author gives you the facts and all the details that will put a chill down your back. I thought at times it was a little long wind but it was a good listen.

The narrator did a good job, he does pause a little longer than I like and I didn't care for his few character voices. There are no repeating of words, no volume changes, no background noise. All in all it was a good listen that put the fear of God into me.

Very graphic, was a good listen
