Today in History: The "Toy Box Killer" David Parker Ray was born on this day in 1939. He was called the “Toy Box Killer” because to his soundproofed truck trailer that he converted into a torture chamber and referred to as his “toy box.” Once in his truck, Ray subjected his female victims to horrific torture. It is believed that he may have killed 60 people this way.
This has led some to ask, why are so many serial killers born in November? In a study, seventeen serial killers were born in November, compared with an average of nine for other months, out of a total of more than 100. Derrick Bird, the Cumbria Killer was born on November, as was Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, Belle Gunness, Dennie Nilsen (the British Jeffrey Dahmer), Kristen Gilbert (the Angel of Death), Charles Starkweather, Carl Eugene Watts and Rosemary West.
