Can You Identify This Woman?
The FBI has released the photo of a woman believed to be an additional victim of sexual torture and murder at the hands of suspected serial killer David Parker Ray of New Mexico.
Ray was convicted and sentenced to 223 years in prison for kidnapping and torturing two women. In 2002, he died in state prison, but the FBI has retrieved evidence, they believe link another woman to the murderer.
At a press conference in Albuquerque, Frank Fisher, spokesman for the bureau said, “We have a suspicion that this woman may have had contact with him, And we would really like to know what her name was, and if we could talk to her.”
In 1999, Ray was arrested after one of his victims managed to escape.
Cynthia Vigil Jaramillo was found naked, wearing only a dog collar and chain. She told police she was tortured in Ray’s home, and in 2001 he was sent to prison where he died the following year.
Though he wrote of more than 40 victims, the FBI has only been able to identify two of them.
Recently, the FBI released photos of itemsfound in Ray’s possession in the hope that someone would recognize something and help them identify to whom it belonged.
Jaramillio, now 33, spoke at the conference Friday, saying, “These people need to be returned to their families, whether they’re gone or not. They didn’t have to go through what I went through but they did. And they probably didn’t make it (out) like I did.”
She stated that while she was held by Ray, he bragged about those he had killed.
Anyone with information regarding possible victims of David Parker Ray is asked to contact FBI Albuquerque at (505) 889-1300.
Hopefully someone can identify her. Maybe she will see her photo and let the police know that she is fine.
