Who Took Our Dad? The Abduction of Ray Wright | Full Episode 

Thank you so much!!! I love watching these episodes! ❤

Same here. ​@@youtuberwaldfee

Great idea for the family to organize a wake for him. Condolences to all.

I love watching 48 hours,well organised.

If you're wearing gloves and touching evidence you don't touch your face and hair. Extremely unprofessional.

When i heard that, I thought, What Nerve! This is an example of double standards

The FIRST thing I thought of

Hilarious observation

Also my thought

Why pay a meth cooker/ dealer...wasn't he ripping off enough people/ ruining their lives?

Agreed!!!

Kinda disrespectful to the family don't ya think??

@@codyviera92 to which family? The one who he injured or his? Maybe both??

To the family devastated by the loss of their father.

Don't get me wrong. Drinking and driving is terrible and leads to tragic ends. But it was just the first thing that came to my mind when I read this.

None.

Just don’t drink alcohol, idk what yall get from drinking alcohol, i really don’t get it

​ @saimo2498 because for some of us who are mature we don't go out drinking and driving we drink on special occasions and have fun while doing it which is totally fine the idiots who drink and cause issues are pathetic I'm just glad I'm not like that .

@@shawnhall9792 i still don’t know what you get from drinking alcohol

@@saimo2498 as I stated fun you may not like it but that's you a problem

I was thinking the exact thing. There were so many vile, evil people involved in this case, including the ones with ZERO conscience who stayed quiet, ie, Katie and the therapist girlfriend. They never heard of the Golden Rule. Scumbags!

Exactly!!! 💯

Well said!

The real Tragedy is that ALL street drugs aren't legalized Yet. If street drugs were legal, Drug Lords wouldn't even exist.

"While usually inflicting tragedy on others"? How so?

If they had stayed together as they should have maybe he'd still be here.

The first wife is way too hot for him now. lets be real.

@@gli5580What does how you perceive someone got to do with anything besides your fantasies?

@@gli5580 That shouldn't matter

God bless his sweet family ( daughters, friends, brother, and, of course, the mother of his kids). My prayer is that someone comes forward and discloses where his remains are...so that he can be properly laid to rest, in the name of Jesus. ✝️

Very true

There is an old saying from my country that my dad says that street people use back in times: real men never trust serious issues to alcoholics, drug addicts, or gays....We live in very tough times. God protect us!

@@liurodriguez5964gays aint tryna deal with your issues either…

It feels so good to come across a good comment like this instead of all those negative comments! That's why this world is like it is!!

Precious, uhm no

My dad was the same way with me he raised since I was 7 when my mom and I came here from Colombia. He has always been the best dad.

@@stefaniagranada5917 ❤️My ex husband raised and adopted my daughter when we were married, they are the best of friends

God, the bar for men is so low.... *eyeroll*

So true

Revenge is not always bad.

Wise words

It’s an interesting case-one man, seemingly an all-around amazing guy, relapses and makes the worst mistake of his life, permanently altering the lives of 2 strangers for the worse. If we did not know those 2 people to be dealing meth, would 18 months seem long enough? Not me, if it were me or someone I love…the 2 people whose lives were harmed happened to make their living by supporting addiction and its cycle of loss and death in society that causes immeasurable harm…the guy who was under the influence of addiction, was the perpetrator of a terrible act, and the consequences fell on this drug lord, who felt so wronged

😢😢😢

But it reminds me of the old prank call on Stern where they prank Tradio. Ray on Tradio took the day off so they keep calling and asking where's Ray, and they keep arguing with the host about Ray. Hilarious.

My thoughts also.

This real life story could easily be the next Fargo plot.

A great writer could turn this into a decent script

Or did he turn that way after the accident? Near death experiences change people. They say he was a meth dealer, but was that prior to the accident or after the accident is very important detail.

Before n after n if no t before lots of ppl have life n death experiences n dnt just turn into a meth dealer. No excuses for taking that man's life. Come on now!l

💔💔💔

Thank you for pointing out that some of the worst most despicable Liars will look you dead in the eye . I have been using that as one of the arguments explaining why body language is it dangerous pseudoscience because it can make innocent people look guilty and it can make guilty people look innocent . Yeah I've noticed also that some of the biggest Liars definitely stare you straight in the eye .

@@SidewaysInTrafficno excuses, you really think he was a good person before the accident?

“Ray had a debt to pay and didn’t?” They didn’t say that. I believe they said he was behind on payments? ​​⁠Food for thought… If it was $215,000 for example, or whatever it was, it could take 17+ years of paying $1000/month which most people cannot afford. They could’ve garnished his wages, maybe they were (it wasn’t mentioned here), but if one literally cannot afford it, what do they do… bring back debtors prisons? Is that where Ray belonged?

@@SeattleRaindrop206 yes, debtors prisons are what we need today.

btw, lots of blk dudes are in prison for missing child support.

Keeping your wife happy? You aren't responsible for her happiness; my friend. I hope she is taking good care of you, and I hope you are in better health.

Sounds much like my life. But you're not responsible for someone's happiness. You can contribute for happy moments with her but not to make her happy.

Yea the best comp dodger

He did pay, just not everything at once, he most likely didn't have that kind of money.

Indeed. Seemed super sketchy. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

​@@ggurksBut he didn't pay much and not regulary either?

Rio Vista isn't a big money area. I'm surprised he was doing construction there, instead of Sacramento, honestly. It's a very small population, & mostly small farmers.

where on earth would he have gotten 275 thousand dollars though? Be realistic.

Literally nobody ever said he was "a saint". This entire episode is all ABOUT his bad decisions. Not sure what ur point was here.

Hard to pay money you simply don’t have.

​@@SkullswithdronesinsideHe should've figured out since he thought he was so smart for drinking and driving.

DNA on the soda cup??? Did they do DNA then?

Some do.

It was more than a DUI

I wouldn't say no one. You can see it in the news.

Oh wow.

The quickness in which I shot a prayer in your direction (and anyone within your guidance) 🙏 🏎️…💨

As soon as they had said that, he was in that car accident. That was the first thing I thought of was okay it's Them.

I wonder how common this type of vengeance/vigilante crime is. I wonder if it’s so rare (as far as a DUI incident) and that’s why they didn’t consider it so quickly 🤔

That's the likely scenario. The accident happened years earlier and it's understandable that no-one made the connection. In the end good investigative work solved the case.@@nbaoldgirl

Well, the show presents their suspects for the narrative arc but IRL, it might not have been that obvious.

@spiderwebb33, I'm guessing that since it had been 6years, it wasn't the most obvious connection. The moment the letter mentions revenge, I thought of the car accident.

you should have stayed in school a little longer. deadliest chemicals.... lol

Most of these episodes are foiled within the first few minutes. This one was excellent.

@@juliagulia5823yeah this can really made into a movie.

omg yes, that vocal fry 😂

OMG thank you! I fcking hate when people talk like that... It's so irritating especially mixed with that Cali accent 😂

i was gritting my teeth every tiiiiiiiime she draaaaaaaawled and crooooooooaked her way through a short sentence but was like, don't be rude she's grieving 😂

What I don't know is whether the girl's vocal fry is natural vocal tone, a medical issue, or a learned social habit!

Omg right?!

Yea the part where he didn’t pay was arrogant, there was no explanation as to why Ray didn’t pay and from that perspective he didn’t come across as such a nice guy. Sad story all around though

​@@ilovemycat___🎯🎯🎯😖

That's because he did it

Because that was said at trial and what he was accused of saying.

Exactly what happened, both comments...☝

Yeah, he pretty much just admitted to what he did.

like pork chop! yum

c'mon say it! HE HAD IT CUMIN LOL

yep horrible person had it coming, he just hurt the wrong man, and people saying he didn't have money he had a home and a truck

FINALLY SOMEONE WITH STANDARDS

Exactly. But he could afford to buy his grand daughter a custom built crib.

@@geneticfreak84I thought it said he built the crib himself but I could have heard that wrong. Edit: just listened again and that’s what it said. He built her a custom crib. And it does look pretty homemade.

Yup! He figured wtf is he going to do about it because he didn’t think he go to police cause he’d be going to jail too

This!

Which makes Victor the biggest fool of them all. Makes you wonder how people like that manage to make it to such an age as he is. Truly remarkable.

Obvious, isn't it?

Don’t take the law into your own hands for revenge! What about that part as well ! Life has good and bad consequences!!

Came here to say that as well

The real truth in life is that people are complex, not just good and bad, it seems like he was more good but made some bad decisions.

@@wesleydarling968This comment ❤

He just hit a bad man that has destroyed so many families.

All good people sin and make mistakes. Only Jesus is perfect. A world without drugs, alcohol, hate and bitterness would be such a better place to live. This is just sad all around. Btw the murderers deserve life in prison what they did is not excusable.

Well Bob wasn't torturously murdered...so your statement doesn't even compare. Big difference!

Bob sold drugs and destroyed families and lives.

Agreed. You don't realize the damage you cause to someone's family when you drink and drive. In this case the guy he hit wanted revenge. Sad situation for all involved

Agree! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Did Bob think killing Ray would get him the money he owed? Should have went through the courts.

😂😂😂😂

You summed it up well!

Debt, not debit, Kalifornia Katie.😅

​​​@@MichaelWilliams-oe5rnalso in Integrity is wrong ... I think he means didn't have any integrity . I just dawned on me , I don't think English is his first language ; so I do give him credit for that actually.

because no one is an angel in this story; a very much disliked DUI

49ers gonna lose.

@@SpartacusErectushopefully the chiefs lose

Totally

I dislike my own comments 😅

I saw a case with a guy that lost his legs. The woman only got 4 yrs in prison. Another woman kill3d a pregnant woman and got 14 yrs. Yeah, it’s crazy. I can see why some people may choose vengence.

💯 Such a bloody travesty!

@@marriejames01sending yourself to prison for life ain’t worth it.

That is what I was thinking when I first saw this last weekend when they aired it on TV.

She thought he was going to get that 275K duh.

@cataniamommaitalia87 Put the pipe down, but you're replying to all my comments, what does that make you LOL. She was the massage therapist that treated his injuries from the accident, listen grasshopper.

He had money from being a drug dealer

@@pandamandimax If he's visiting a girlfriend in a trailer. I highly highly doubt he had more than a few bucks.

🎯👍

Go to Jesus Christ. Repent and be cleansed.

As an atheist who has been clean and sober for 15 years, 12 step programs are not for everyone. They are proven statistically to be ineffective, however, if you find them to be helpful then by all means utilize them. That being said, as someone who has gotten and maintained cleanliness and sobriety despite realizing that 12 step programs were not for me, I highly recommend getting a doctor that is an addiction specialist, or at the very least has experience with treating addiction. Then, receive a referral from them to a trauma therapist (nearly all addicts have a ton of trauma). So many people believe that their problems are a symptom of their addiction, when in actuality, their addiction is a symptom of their deep trauma. If anyone who reads this is struggling, please know that getting better absolutely IS possible and does not require any religious beliefs if religion is not for you. When I was using I truly thought that I would never recover and that my days were numbered. Here I am, 15 years later, with a life that I never thought was possible. You will need to make many sacrifices in order to recover. The biggest one for many people is no longer associating with the friends that you used with. Trust and believe, if they are truly your friends and want what is best for you they will allow you to let them go for your own wellbeing. I also do not recommend associating with anyone who is in recovery and has less than 2 years clean, as that can lead to a joint relapse. I hope that my words may help someone who is in the position that I used to be in. It is possible, it can be done. Stay strong and remember that anyone who comes for your sobriety is essentially wishing death on you. Addiction, if left untreated, is a dang near death sentence. You deserve to live.❤

Forcing people into a Christian 12 step program is not the answer. There are better programs out there

He did not deserve to be murdered bc he failed to pay his victims of the accident! He should have secured a loan. I wonder if he would have still been murdered if he'd actually managed to pay full restitution?

Maybe he didn’t have much? Not being accountable isn’t necessarily the reason or doesn’t mean in general he wasn’t, especially in the eyes of his family. If he was this loved there’s a reason, not a saint but not a bad man. Also it didn’t look like he’s business was doing all that well or that he was swimming in money considering where he was working

I thought that too

that by no means deserves death! What planet are you from?

What’s with the replies? The OP didn’t say he deserved death. The OP said that people described Ray as being accountable and he was not. Plain and simple. That isn’t the same thing as saying he deserved to die. Y’all need to work on reading comprehension.

Revenge wasn’t the ANSWER!!

He murdered this women with his drink driving. 18 months was a silly little slap on the wrist, and he obviously didn’t take it seriously, but that man should not have killed him.

​@laraantipova389 no one died as a result of his accident. Where did you get that??

Same here

That’s how I felt today! Lol. I’m addicted to 48 hours

Same!! UK viewer here too haha x

Same here, hi from Berlin

It's so sad because these are real life stories and not fiction.

How do you know? Did he turn to meth after the accident to deal with the accident? He got a divorce as well. You have to think that was 6 years in-between both incidents.

@@SidewaysInTraffic well the cops said he was a known meth dealer with several arrest records so that kind of sealed the deal for me. Clearly he was a loose canon, most people mixed up in meth usually are.

Ray had no right to decide his prison sentence was enough. He should have paid as the law required; there's no reason to think the psycho drug dealer would have come after him then.

Don't drink and drive and you'll stay out of trouble. It's that simple.

@@SidewaysInTrafficlol well I mean what are you saying? he should have hit an innocent person?

Why do you enjoy these so much???? These are sad and/or demonic!!!! Remember not to treat these shows like entertainment!! If a crime ever happened to you people would treat your story like entertainment too!!!! Somebody actually died in order for this story to be told and you treat it like a crime sitcom!!!!

​@@lamejoramor336l treat these shows as 'education'. I have learnt so much from watching them. Basic human nature, the fact that monsters walk among us, and how careful everyone has to bed in their lives so as not to get entangled in a situation that can lead to your untimely death.. l find these shows absolutely fascinating, l feel sorry for all the victims, and my eyes have been opened as to how easy it is for anyone to become a victim. A total education.

​@@lamejoramor336so why are you on here watching? If you disliked these things so much surely you wouldn't be on here 🤔

To watch and enjoy are two different things

@@TNT-km2eg but you wouldn't watch something that you didn't like so you much enjoy it or you'd watch something else.

Ray Wright was only sentenced to 18 months in prison for the initial DUI crash that almost killed 2 people...only in f****** California.

or didn't pay full restitution to.

@@stumack9755he was paying, that’s why he started the workshop after being released from prison. Maybe he couldn’t afford to pay all at once.

If Karma was real, none of us would be 😂

The families lives that Ray ruined weren't exactly stand up citizens in this world. Bob was no better than a cartel member!

​@@sent1169Okay, but how was he able to buy that expensive car and live in affluental part of the town? It doesn't sound like he was hurting for money, so why wasn't he making regular payments? He could've sold the car and get a cheaper one.

💯🙏🏼👍🏻

He committed a crime, a felony, which did terrible damage. But we don't have the death penalty for that crime.

Well the drug dealer guy ruined his own life further by trying to be vigilant & dragged another guy into his own beef.

exactly! crashed head on.... Mrs. nearly lost her life.... then not paying up at least....ugh

trailers can be moved

Depends if that's what he's been accused of in court and convicted of; if that's what everyone says happened then that's what he's denying. It doesn't strike me as too incriminating honestly.

No, he mentioned that because his celly said to investigators, that he told him that. You can watch the video again where it was said.

Lol 😂 I'm just here to say I love ur profile name!!

Exactly!!!!

​@@Elena-tq9vsthey never found the body so only the murderer would know how the victim was killed. No one accused him of that .....he told on himself!

I personally wonder if this was intentional. He was doing cash business and avoiding W2s that would've garnished wages if the restitution was court-ordered.

this bloke had standards. lol

And a house too. 48 Hours never said how much he paid. My guess it was very, very little.

I'm what you on that one queen but I see you are a beautiful black woman and we got protect all black woman right now

@@landlordliving Lame

Which family? We can pray for all fams involved

You definitely don't watch THAT much true crime at all if this is amongst the saddest you've seen, Lol

It was terrible. That black thing in her bottom lip doesn't do her any good either.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. Absolutely terrible. And these young chicks think they sound so cool. Staaaaaaahp 😂 Rest In Peace Ray😢

Uggh my exact thoughts. Nails on a chalkboard. RIP Ray.

I said the exact same thing!

Wow how petty

probably will

You didn't get scammed personally son

Calm down there John Wick. Not the same thing at all. 😎✌🏻

You sound like a real nice church man lol

Sounds nice but we don’t get to make those decisions like that, it’s all about courts/jury-law&order.

@@_nick_d Nor should we make them.

Amen 🙏🏼💯

I think it was more than that. An 18 month sentence for nearly killing two people is ridiculous and only happens in CA.

@@marygoff3332and for clarity I just summed it up as the ‘restitution payments’ because it was like insult to injury-literally.

@@marygoff3332in England the sentences are even more pathetic

👍🏻💜

No, it's who stiffs the victims of YOUR actions that cause them a life time of pain. Doesn't matter drug dealer or not, pay your victims due to your bad choices.

You mean the meth dealer 🤔

Yup now he has to live in prison conditions & deal w prison politics & dangers

Literally nobody ever said that he was.

​​@@virg0_lem0nadeLiterally members of family said he is in haven now. How they can know?

After the fact. It’s what he was accused of

It was said at his trial.

Because he did it

@@BoKotianLundI’m not sure why so many people are having trouble understanding this. 😆

😂 🪓

This cup is so generic it could have been from any gas station

It's not going to tell them where Ray is. This was two days after his disappearance

Yeah sounds like the thing to do

​@@Marlainait would show the soda purchase - who bought it - and possibly the vehicle.

It would have to be one of the close stations due to the ice still being cold. So each of those stations must be checked.

Thank you

But he was killed in a nice part of town 😅

@@WaveTV-n8n glad you get joy in someone losing their life. 🤡

And dude lived in Rocklin, had a shop, a new truck and barely made any payments to the guy? That's sickening in my OP. And NH isn't has bad as it used to be. Rio Linda & Del Paso are like South Sac now.

@SidewaysInTraffic what does any of that have to do with what I said 🤔

@@QueenSugar72 I said NH isn't as bad as it used to be, you and the lady on the episode are making it sound like it's Iraq.

💯🙏🏼

And being a vigilante got him life in prison m & his pal; so made his own situation worse

same for me👍🏽👍🏽

Same ❤ I kno it's going to be a good one 😁......

May God help you all with your addictions.

Now imagine something bad happening to someone close to then they take your phone to see what you have been searching😂

Remember not to treat these shows like entertainment!! If a crime ever happened to you people would treat your story like entertainment too!!!! Somebody actually died in order for this story to be told and you treat it like a crime sitcom!!!!
