The Fort Bragg Predator

The Grisly Crimes of US Army Serviceman Ronald Gray

In this gripping episode, we uncover the dark and disturbing story of Ronald Adrin Gray, a U.S. Army soldier who lived a horrifying double life. Born in Cochran, Georgia, and raised in Miami’s Liberty Square housing projects, Gray sought stability and honor in the military—but beneath the surface lurked a predator.

Between 1986 and 1987, Gray committed a series of brutal rapes and murders near Fort Bragg, targeting women in a reign of terror that shocked both the military and civilian communities. His crimes began with the horrifying murder of Private Mary Ann Lang Nameth, followed by a string of violent assaults, culminating in the brutal death of 23-year-old cab driver Kimberly Ann Ruggles.

With survivor testimonies, groundbreaking DNA evidence, and relentless law enforcement efforts, Gray’s monstrous acts were finally exposed. Arrested in 1987, his conviction and death sentence marked a rare and chilling moment in U.S. military history.

Join us as we explore how Gray hid his crimes within the structure of the military, the brave survivors who helped bring him to justice, and the lingering impact of his betrayal. This is a story of trust shattered and lives forever changed.
