Ray died in state prison in 2002 while serving a sentence of more than 223 years in connection with kidnapping and other charges involving two women who said he sexually tortured them at his residence near Elephant Butte Lake.
Numerous searches have been conducted over the years based on suspicions Ray may have killed several unidentified victims. Ray claimed to have abducted about 40 victims from several states.
No bodies have been found.
The latest search comes after new information was provided to authorities. No details about that information will be provided at this time.
As previously reported, the Albuquerque Police Department has an open case into the disappearance of Jill Troia, who was last seen the night of September 30, 1995, or early morning of October 1, 1995, at the Frontier Restaurant in Albuquerque.
Ray is suspected of having been involved in Troia’s disappearance and possible death.
Authorities are not saying at this time where they suspect Troia’s body might have been hidden.
The FBI, New Mexico State Police, and Albuquerque Police continue to work together to try to bring closure to the families and friends of missing persons who may have been Ray’s victims.
Anyone with information on possible victims, or who recalls seeing Ray in unusual areas or doing anything strange in the Elephant Butte vicinity, is asked to contact Albuquerque Police Detective Richard Lewis at 505-924-6095, or e-mail him at rlewis@cabq.gov.
