One night in 1996, Kelli Garrett had a fight with her husband. Rather than stay home, she went out, playing pool at a local bar with her friend Glenda Jean “Jesse” Ray. What Garrett didn’t realize at the time was that Jesse had an ulterior motive. Jesse Ray was the daughter of David Parker Ray and was about to offer up her friend to her father’s sadistic desires.

It’s believed that Jesse dosed Garrett’s beer with a tranquilizer, according to All That’s Interesting. Once she was subdued, Garrett was led back to Jesse’s father’s trailer. She was held captive for two days. Ray used a cocktail of drugs to keep Garrett disoriented. When Ray released Garrett he slit her throat and left her by the side of the road. Amazingly, she survived. Initially, neither the police nor her husband believed her. Her husband thought that Kelli had gone on a drinking binge and cheated on him, and he soon filed for divorce. Her memory of the previous days had been severely damaged by Ray’s drug cocktail, so she never went to the police.

After Ray’s arrest for the torture and assault of Cynthia Jaramillo, police discovered evidence that he had other victims. Among that evidence was a videotape documenting the assault of a woman police could not identify. After releasing stills of the video to the public, Garrett was recognized as a victim of The Toybox Killer.
