Host Jack Luna covers the worlds darkest stories, while holding you close in an itchy blanket. 
- 51 minutes 36 seconds154 • The Clean Freak
London, Ontario, Canada had the highest concentration of serial murder back in the seventies… though I doubt many people know that.
This episode’s subject, from that time and place, certainly wouldn’t ring a bell. He would, however, climb up to your balcony and walk in through an open door.

LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED
On Monday, March 22, 1999, a naked, bloodied woman wearing a padlocked collar with a six-foot chain attached came running out of a trailer park in Elephant Butte, New Mexico, screaming bloody murder. It was David Parker Ray’s first (and last) mistake as the now infamous Toy-Box Killer.

Archibald Thomson Hall, eventually known as Roy Fontaine, changed his name to better suit the world of butlery—which was a touch odd… given that “Archibald” sounds far more like a butler’s name than “Roy.” Then again, making a mess of things was exactly what the “Monster Butler” was best at.
