McGray claims to have been beaten by his alcoholic father and that he was sexually abused in many of the reform schools in which he essentially grew up. He also claims to have killed animals as a child.
On May 23, 2001, police in Halifax, Nova Scotia charged McGray with the murder of a hitchhiker 16 years after her body was found on the side of a road near Digby, Nova Scotia. The victim, 17-year-old Elizabeth Gale Tucker, was murdered in 1985 while hitchhiking to her job at a fish plant. McGray admitted to stabbing Tucker multiple times and dumping her body. This charge followed four previous murder convictions in 2000.
McGray also pleaded guilty to stabbing cabbie Mark Gibbons to death in 1987. He's been convicted of the murder of Joan Hicks in Moncton in 1998, and of two men in Montreal in 1991.
McGray has offered to release the details of 16 murders he claims to have committed over the years in exchange for immunity for his accomplices, immunity for himself against the new charges, and psychiatric treatment for what he calls his "demons."
He claims that these demons caused his 15-year killing spree and has stated that he will murder guards, prisoners, or anybody else to quench his "searing hunger to kill."
McGray has also claimed that he killed a prostitute and a gay man in Seattle over 1995-96, and that he killed three gay men in Montreal. He also claims to have killed a 50-year-old man and buried the body in a Toronto park.
McGray is serving concurrent life sentences of 25 years with no parole.
