Where to watch the Toy Box Killer documentary?

David Parker Ray, notoriously known as the Toy Box Killer, has several documentaries, explainer videos, conspiracy theories, and more to his name. However, Netflix does not currently host any of those documentaries in its catalog. Amazon Prime Video, on the other hand, features his case in a more general serial killer compendium. A documentary titled David Parker Ray: The Toy Box Killer (2019), which is streaming on Prime Video, provides the most thorough investigation into Parker Ray's frightful universe. 

Prime Video's World's Most Evil Killers and Apple TV's I Survived A Serial Killer also feature single episodes on Parker Ray, providing different perspectives and analysis of the case. However, the 2019 film directed by Jym Pagel reexamines archived police footage, previously unheard audio recordings, and survivor testimony that reveal the horror within his notorious semi-trailer, which he called his "toy box." The Toy Box Killer deep dives into the life and crimes of Parker Ray, none of whose victims' bodies were ever discovered.
