### Background
|
||||
|
||||
Ray was born in Alton, Illinois, to a family with a criminal history. He served in the U.S. Army after World War II, was discharged for incompetence in 1948, and entered a career of small-time robbery and burglary. He was convicted of multiple felonies and was serving a twenty-year sentence at the Missouri State Penitentiary when he escaped on April 23, 1967 - concealing himself inside a bread box. He was one of the few prisoners ever to escape from that maximum-security facility.

|

After his escape, Ray traveled to [[Chicago]], [[Montreal]], [[Birmingham, Alabama|Birmingham]], and [[Los Angeles]] under various aliases, apparently supporting himself through a grocery store robbery in [[Illinois]] and through drug smuggling on the [[Mexico]]-California border. He had no obvious source of legitimate income and no documented associates who could explain his travel or housing expenses during this period.[^1]
