“Part of the reason why we want to speak with all media today and ask for your assistance is, we believe there could be additional victims, due to our reach and ability to conduct investigations across the country. We’re now hoping to locate any additional victims or any additional information pertaining to Lance David Ray. Specifically, and you’re going to be given this, the timeline that we’re really interested in is where Ray lived. Early 1990s, San Francisco area, 1993 through 1999, Portland, Oregon, Washington and California. 1999 through 2003, Phoenix (Arizona) area which is where we have some of our incidents. 2003 through 2017 he lived in California, and 2017 to present, he lived in St. Louis, Missouri.”
