Leonard Lake was captain of his killing team and Charles Ng, the only other player. Together they killed at least 12 people, and authorities suspect they found bone fragments from 25 others.

Leonard became obsessed with collecting women and using them as a personal sex slave. Charles Ng, a thief and unlawful troublemaker, immediately bonded with the fellow Marine and joined in Lake’s plans to capture a woman for personal fulfillment.

Men who had something of value were used for what they had and then killed. Babies got in the way and they too were killed.

Even more disturbing is that Lake and Ng documented much of their game plan, from photos of the bunker and holding cell under construction, to letters penned in their victims’ names so they could collect final paychecks.

Perhaps the most shocking of all is the video tapes: Leonard Lake sat down one evening in a brown recliner and videotaped a monologue about what his plan was and why he wanted to capture women.

Juxtaposed with his soliloquy is another videotape of two of the women he and Ng tortured and killed.

These trophies are all Leonard left after he committed suicide shortly after he was seated in the police station. He was taken in after his involvement in a petty theft.

The game’s last period ended when Charles Ng walked into a South San Francisco City hardware store and stole a vise. An off duty police officer and cashier followed Ng out to the parking lot to confront him, but he was gone - he dropped the vise in the trunk of a Honda and walked away.

The driver of the Honda, Leonard Lake, tried to play it off as a misunderstanding of whom was paying. But the South San Francisco cops were already there; and in addition to the stolen vice, they found a pistol and a silencer in the car.

The car, driver’s license and license plate each belonged to different people - all of them missing.

Charles Ng was convicted of 11 murders and is now on death row in San Quentin, California.
