Jimmy Lee Gray was an American Serial Killer who lived one of the most troubling lives in human History. Because of his calmness and quietness, no one could've expected the nightmare he would turn into.

Jimmy Lee Gray was born on September 25th 1948 in Whittier California and had a very troubled childhood as he came from a broken home and was severely abused by his mother, Verna Smith which caused him to be a loner and have a violent temper and little did anyone know what on Earth that violent temper turned him into as he grew up...

In the fall of 1967, after 18 years of living with an abusive family, he had a dispute with them and moved in with his girlfriend, 16 year old Elda Louise Prince and her family in Parker Arizona. They were a very nice family as they let him live with them and treated him as one of their own family members. But little did anyone in the family know that within a few months of living with them, that they're decision to let Gray live with them would be the BIGGEST mistake they EVER made in their lives...

On January 5th 1968, Elda was supposed to leave school early for a doctor's appointment, but when her mother, Opal went to pick her up at 4:30, instead of seeing her daughter, a receptionist told her that she never showed up, which obviously made her very confused, but she assumed that she took the school bus home like she usually did and went back home, but she became even more confused when she found out that the school bus left without Elda. Opal started getting worried and alerted the police about her missing daughter, hoping that she was alright.

Opal and her family, including Gray were very worried about the news and quickly went to the sheriff's office to help them look for Elda and they immediately began searching for her, but during the search, the sheriff noticed that Gray's shoes were dirtied up and had water and mud on them and became suspicious and took him into questioning the next day.

Without hesitation, Gray confessed to murdering his girlfriend and he lead police to her body in a coulvert next to The Colorado River where his dirty shoes matched the area.

Gray also confessed to murdering Elda, telling the police when they were walking home from school, Elda made fun of his sexual impedence, which caused Gray to lose his temper and horrifically strangle the teen and slit her throat.

After confessing everything he did to Elda, the horrified police quickly arrested Gray and he was charged with 2nd Degree Murder and was sentenced to 20 years to Life In Prison. Despite Gray's terrifying murder, he was paroled after serving only 7 years. Gray's trial judge disagreed with his parole and was worried because he thought he was still a dangerous man and Prince's family fully agreed with the judge. Despite the judge and The Prince Family's concerns however, Gray was released after serving only 7 years in prison. Unfortunately, this would be a big mistake that the government would deeply regret for the rest of time...

After Gray was released, he bought himself a Red Volkswagen and moved to an apartment complex in Pascagoula, Mississippi where The Scales Family lived, including their daughter, 3 year old Deressa Jean Scales. Tragically, this gave Gray a terrible idea that no one was prepared for...

On June 25th 1976, Gray lured his neighbor, Deressa into his car so he could take her to his apartment to play with his Kittens. Deressa happily agreed and hopped in his car. Sadly, this would be a huge mistake that would completely change the lives of The Scales...

Instead of taking Deressa to his apartment to play with his Kittens, Gray kidnapped the three year old and drove her to The Mississippi Gulf Coast, 20 miles from her home.
