DAVID PARKER RAY T-SHIRT

A notorious serial killer t-shirt available in black or white cotton.

Step into the abyss of true crime infamy with the David Parker Ray T-Shirt, a sinister salute to one of the most disturbing figures in American criminal lore. Nicknamed the “Toy Box Killer,” Ray’s name became synonymous with the chilling underworld of sadistic obsession, psychological horror, and small-town terror.

Operating out of Elephant Butte, New Mexico, Ray constructed a soundproof trailer—a customized chamber of unspeakable torment. Inside this so-called “toy box,” he assembled a collection of surgical instruments, restraints, and recording equipment, crafting a torture setup that would later stun seasoned investigators and psychologists alike. Though no bodies were ever found, Ray is suspected of murdering up to 60 victims over the course of several years, his crimes revealed only when a woman escaped and brought the nightmare into daylight.

“It’s going to be painful, I’m sure, but you’ll learn to like it.” — Ray’s voice recording

This t-shirt doesn’t just echo the case — it screams with the surreal, disturbing energy of America’s most nightmarish killers. It’s designed for the darkest corners of the true crime fandom, for those fascinated by criminal pathology, and for wearers unafraid to confront the unspeakable.

In the realm of true crime t-shirts, this is not one for the casual collector. It’s a bold, boundary-pushing artifact of horror history—raw, unfiltered, and unforgettable.
