Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP24094) and 13 other sources
Jill Suzanne Troia, a 22-year-old woman, disappeared on the night of September 30, 1995, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She was last seen at the Frontier Restaurant after leaving a bar with her friend, Glenda Jean "Jesse" Ray. Witnesses reported that the two had a heated argument at the restaurant. Glenda later claimed that she left Jill at the restaurant and went to Elephant Butte Reservoir with her father, David Parker Ray, who was later convicted as a serial kidnapper and torturer. Jill has not been seen or heard from since.

David Parker Ray, believed to be involved in the disappearance of up to 40 women, was arrested in 1999 and convicted of multiple crimes, but no physical remains of Jill or other suspected victims were ever found. Authorities believe that Jill may have been one of his victims, although her case remains unsolved. Jill, who was described as trusting and naïve, was adopted from South Korea as an infant. Her family reported her missing after she failed to make contact with them. Investigations into her disappearance have continued, but no significant leads have emerged.
