It was seven months ago when Channel 7 first brought you 33 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,440 the story of a San Francisco man named Paul Cosner, 34 00:01:32,483 --> 00:01:34,311 who mysteriously disappeared. 35 00:01:34,355 --> 00:01:36,618 -

Right where we're standing here 76 00:03:58,629 --> 00:04:01,632 is where we found some bones. 77 00:04:01,676 --> 00:04:03,678 And it was actually the first bones 78 00:04:03,721 --> 00:04:08,160 that we had found at that point in time. 79 00:04:08,204 --> 00:04:10,380 - It was my ultimate goal 80 00:04:10,424 --> 00:04:13,122 in, you know, my life to be a police officer. 81 00:04:13,165 --> 00:04:15,124 And so, you know, getting hired at Calaveras 82 00:04:15,167 --> 00:04:17,257 was like a "dream come true" type thing. 83 00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:19,302 But I never, ever figured 84 00:04:19,346 --> 00:04:21,870 that I would be involved in a case like this. 85 00:04:21,913 --> 00:04:25,308 - Sometimes it can be hard to talk about... 86 00:04:28,093 --> 00:04:30,531 Especially being here. 87 00:04:30,574 --> 00:04:32,620 - You know, to be honest with you, 88 00:04:32,663 --> 00:04:34,535 my wife said, "Well, you need to, you know, 89 00:04:34,578 --> 00:04:36,450 get it off your chest." 90 00:04:47,417 --> 00:04:49,680 And how did it affect my life afterwards? 91 00:04:52,901 --> 00:04:54,468 I don't know. 92 00:04:56,426 --> 00:04:58,341 Still trying to figure that out. 93 00:05:16,359 --> 00:05:18,143 At the time, I had been on the force 94 00:05:18,187 --> 00:05:19,623 for a little over five years, 95 00:05:19,667 --> 00:05:23,366 and I have never seen anything of this nature. 96 00:05:23,410 --> 00:05:25,368 We started with a missing-persons case, 97 00:05:25,412 --> 00:05:29,067 and short time later, we found the skull of somebody. 98 00:05:29,111 --> 00:05:32,114 - It's not every day that you find human remains 99 00:05:32,157 --> 00:05:33,768 buried in the backyard. 100 00:05:33,811 --> 00:05:36,205 So the clock was ticking to find out 101 00:05:36,248 --> 00:05:38,773 what the hell happened here. 102 00:05:38,816 --> 00:05:41,210 - We knew that we needed more help 103 00:05:41,253 --> 00:05:44,082 because just excavating that trench 100 feet long 104 00:05:44,126 --> 00:05:48,043 was gonna take way more manpower than we had. 105 00:05:48,086 --> 00:05:50,785 Ultimately, Sergeant McFall makes the decision 106 00:05:50,828 --> 00:05:53,614 that we're gonna have to get a criminologist. 107 00:05:53,657 --> 00:05:55,180 We're gonna have to maybe get some help 108 00:05:55,224 --> 00:05:56,530 from outside agencies. 109 00:05:59,663 --> 00:06:02,187 - We developed a task force, 110 00:06:02,231 --> 00:06:04,538 and the task force consisted 111 00:06:04,581 --> 00:06:07,802 of San Francisco Homicide investigators, 112 00:06:07,845 --> 00:06:10,761 our district attorney investigator, 113 00:06:10,805 --> 00:06:14,199 contacts with the FBI. 114 00:06:14,243 --> 00:06:15,723 - Within a few hours, 115 00:06:15,766 --> 00:06:17,202 some people came up from Department of Justice. 116 00:06:17,246 --> 00:06:19,422 And additionally, we called for a backhoe 117 00:06:19,466 --> 00:06:21,163 to help us excavate. 118 00:06:21,206 --> 00:06:25,515 - As we started to excavate the trench to recover one body, 119 00:06:25,559 --> 00:06:27,343 we discovered that there was two bodies. 120 00:06:29,954 --> 00:06:32,740 - For investigators, they've got to be wondering, 121 00:06:32,783 --> 00:06:35,743 "What is gonna come next?" 122 00:06:35,786 --> 00:06:38,528 - While police continued their search of the property, 123 00:06:38,572 --> 00:06:40,400 they came across a chicken coop. 124 00:06:40,443 --> 00:06:44,055 And upon further examination, they discovered a third body. 125 00:06:46,580 --> 00:06:48,451 It was evident that these human remains 126 00:06:48,495 --> 00:06:50,148 had been there for some time, 127 00:06:50,192 --> 00:06:53,456 but investigators had no idea who they belonged to. 128 00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:55,415 - At this point in the investigation, 129 00:06:55,458 --> 00:06:59,114 we still didn't know who was responsible for these murders. 130 00:06:59,157 --> 00:07:01,464 Was it Leonard Lake, who was in the hospital, 131 00:07:01,508 --> 00:07:05,599 comatose from having ingested a cyanide capsule? 132 00:07:05,642 --> 00:07:08,515 Was it Charlie Ng, who was on the run? 133 00:07:08,558 --> 00:07:10,560 Or was it Claralyn Balazs, 134 00:07:10,604 --> 00:07:14,085 Lake's ex-wife who owned the cabin? 135 00:07:14,129 --> 00:07:17,567 Any or all... 136 00:07:17,611 --> 00:07:20,440 could have been responsible and involved. 137 00:07:22,616 --> 00:07:24,574 - Investigators decided to pay a visit 138 00:07:24,618 --> 00:07:27,925 to Claralyn Balazs' house in South San Francisco. 139 00:07:30,145 --> 00:07:32,408 She had stormed off her property in Wilseyville 140 00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:35,193 when police revealed they were obtaining a search warrant. 141 00:07:35,237 --> 00:07:38,283 - At that point, we began a series of interviews 142 00:07:38,327 --> 00:07:42,200 of Claralyn Balazs regarding Charles Ng, Leonard Lake, 143 00:07:42,244 --> 00:07:45,029 and everything that she knew about them 144 00:07:45,073 --> 00:07:48,380 and about what was going on at the cabin. 145 00:07:48,424 --> 00:07:50,861 - Claralyn told investigators that Lake and Ng 146 00:07:50,905 --> 00:07:52,341 were weapons fanatics, 147 00:07:52,384 --> 00:07:54,952 who had been introduced by a fellow Marine. 148 00:07:54,996 --> 00:07:57,389 She claimed she didn't spend much time at the cabin 149 00:07:57,433 --> 00:07:58,739 in Wilseyville, 150 00:07:58,782 --> 00:08:02,133 so was unaware what may have gone on up there. 151 00:08:02,177 --> 00:08:04,266 - Unfortunately, Claralyn didn't provide 152 00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:05,920 too many answers. 153 00:08:05,963 --> 00:08:08,575 She denied any knowledge of the hidden cell inside the bunker. 154 00:08:08,618 --> 00:08:10,838 When police revealed to her 155 00:08:10,881 --> 00:08:13,188 that they found human remains on the property, 156 00:08:13,231 --> 00:08:17,453 she emphatically denied any knowledge of this. 157 00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:19,542 - It was her property. 158 00:08:19,586 --> 00:08:22,719 One has to ask this question. 159 00:08:22,763 --> 00:08:26,070 Did she really not know 160 00:08:26,114 --> 00:08:28,290 what was going on? 161 00:08:28,333 --> 00:08:29,465 Really? 162 00:08:36,124 --> 00:08:40,128 - While I was in the process of detailing the crime scene, 163 00:08:40,171 --> 00:08:43,566 I discovered that at the back of the house 164 00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:45,699 was what appeared to be some burn piles. 165 00:08:48,571 --> 00:08:50,704 It's not unusual to see burn piles 166 00:08:50,747 --> 00:08:54,011 anywhere in Calaveras County, 'cause that's how people 167 00:08:54,055 --> 00:08:57,493 dispose of leaves and some paper trash. 168 00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:59,626 But it is unusual to find 169 00:08:59,669 --> 00:09:03,151 5 or 6 separate burn piles 170 00:09:03,194 --> 00:09:04,979 15 feet apart 171 00:09:05,022 --> 00:09:07,329 that had been cleaned up. 172 00:09:09,331 --> 00:09:11,028 When I went down to go look at the burn piles, 173 00:09:11,072 --> 00:09:12,813 I noticed that the one fresh one there 174 00:09:12,856 --> 00:09:15,076 had bone residue, bone material. 175 00:09:17,121 --> 00:09:21,343 At that moment, I realized that they're burning bodies. 176 00:09:28,350 --> 00:09:31,483 -

You got to understand, in the '80s, 377 00:19:19,375 --> 00:19:21,551 that you didn't have all these cell phones. 378 00:19:21,595 --> 00:19:23,336 So, while we're in Michigan, 379 00:19:23,379 --> 00:19:25,164 they're all the way out in California. 380 00:19:27,296 --> 00:19:28,645 When they called my dad 381 00:19:28,689 --> 00:19:31,909 and told him that my sister was missing, 382 00:19:31,953 --> 00:19:35,304 the first thing my dad said is, "Where's my grandson? 383 00:19:35,348 --> 00:19:38,612 Where's my son-in-law?" 384 00:19:38,655 --> 00:19:42,529 And that's when they said, "We believe they're missing, too." 385 00:19:42,572 --> 00:19:44,835 - For 23 years in the police department, 386 00:19:44,879 --> 00:19:47,621 I've worked a number of serial-murder cases 387 00:19:47,664 --> 00:19:49,536 involving multiple victims. 388 00:19:49,579 --> 00:19:52,539 But this was a very unusual case, 389 00:19:52,582 --> 00:19:54,671 to say the least, in many respects, 390 00:19:54,715 --> 00:19:57,239 not just because of the number of bodies 391 00:19:57,283 --> 00:20:00,503 but the fact that it involved so many different victims, 392 00:20:00,547 --> 00:20:02,853 including small children. 393 00:20:02,897 --> 00:20:06,335 - At this point, police still needed answers. 394 00:20:06,379 --> 00:20:09,208 The Dubs family, the Bond family, 395 00:20:09,251 --> 00:20:12,559 and Robin Scott Stapley were all still considered missing. 396 00:20:12,602 --> 00:20:14,691 And while police had their suspicions 397 00:20:14,735 --> 00:20:16,258 that Leonard Lake and Charles Ng 398 00:20:16,302 --> 00:20:19,696 were somehow responsible for their disappearances, 399 00:20:19,740 --> 00:20:23,134 their motive was still very much unclear, 400 00:20:23,178 --> 00:20:24,701 until they literally uncovered 401 00:20:24,745 --> 00:20:26,834 the biggest piece of evidence yet. 402 00:20:32,143 --> 00:20:36,147 - The county backhoe driver was, with a shovel, 403 00:20:36,191 --> 00:20:39,803 digging the soft dirt on the edge of the driveway. 404 00:20:39,847 --> 00:20:41,979 While he was doing that, he ran across something hard, 405 00:20:42,023 --> 00:20:44,460 and he said, "Hey, I have something here." 406 00:20:44,504 --> 00:20:47,594 They started to remove the dirt 407 00:20:47,637 --> 00:20:49,509 and found, buried in the ground, 408 00:20:49,552 --> 00:20:52,599 a five-gallons tub. 409 00:20:52,642 --> 00:20:55,819 - In the tub, they found a document 410 00:20:55,863 --> 00:20:58,213 of several hundred pages 411 00:20:58,257 --> 00:21:01,564 and two VHS tapes. 412 00:21:01,608 --> 00:21:03,827 - If you're burying something, you wanted to hide it, 413 00:21:03,871 --> 00:21:06,874 and if it's worth hiding, then it's worth watching. 414 00:21:46,827 --> 00:21:49,090 - As the investigators were digging up the property, 415 00:21:49,133 --> 00:21:51,353 they don't know where this is going to end. 416 00:21:53,442 --> 00:21:55,531 And then they find a tub. 417 00:21:55,575 --> 00:21:58,012 - In the tub, 418 00:21:58,055 --> 00:22:01,276 they found a document of several hundred pages 419 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,061 and two VHS tapes. 420 00:22:04,105 --> 00:22:06,325 - Immediately what police want to know is, 421 00:22:06,368 --> 00:22:07,674 what's on these tapes. 422 00:22:07,717 --> 00:22:09,458 - Of the two videotapes inside the bucket, 423 00:22:09,502 --> 00:22:12,374 one was labeled "M ladies Kathi and Brenda." 424 00:22:12,418 --> 00:22:14,768 The other was labeled "M." 425 00:22:14,811 --> 00:22:17,161 If you're burying something, you wanted to hide it, 426 00:22:17,205 --> 00:22:20,034 and if it's worth hiding, then it's worth watching. 427 00:22:20,077 --> 00:22:23,211 So, utilizing the video equipment in the house, 428 00:22:23,254 --> 00:22:26,170 we put it in the video labeled "M." 429 00:23:35,239 --> 00:23:38,982 - This tape was essentially a 15-minute manifesto 430 00:23:39,026 --> 00:23:42,943 in which Leonard Lake starts out detailing his plan 431 00:23:42,986 --> 00:23:45,380 to enslave a young woman. 432 00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:47,948 Deborah Dubs is missing, Brenda O'Connor. 433 00:23:47,991 --> 00:23:50,516 There were pictures of 21 women on the wall. 434 00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:52,822 What happened to all these women? 435 00:23:52,866 --> 00:23:55,477 As investigators continued to watch the tape, 436 00:23:55,521 --> 00:23:57,566 the mystery started to unfold. 437 00:24:24,985 --> 00:24:28,510 - There's a part of that tape that shows him on a bulldozer 438 00:24:28,554 --> 00:24:30,947 working on the bunker. 439 00:24:42,089 --> 00:24:44,004 You got the sense as you're watching this 440 00:24:44,047 --> 00:24:46,006 that he was very pleased with himself 441 00:24:46,049 --> 00:24:49,749 and very kind of proud of what he had done 442 00:24:49,792 --> 00:24:53,492 and didn't have any qualms whatsoever about the plans 443 00:24:53,535 --> 00:24:56,712 to enslave and brutalize women. 444 00:25:16,427 --> 00:25:18,560 - When you watch this tape, 445 00:25:18,604 --> 00:25:20,562 you're not talking about a madman 446 00:25:20,606 --> 00:25:22,738 who is screaming and yelling at you. 447 00:25:22,782 --> 00:25:24,566 He's relaxed, 448 00:25:24,610 --> 00:25:26,046 he's composed, 449 00:25:26,089 --> 00:25:28,788 and he's extremely thoughtful in it. 450 00:25:28,831 --> 00:25:31,486 - The language that he used told me 451 00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:33,053 that he had intelligence. 452 00:25:33,096 --> 00:25:35,316 He was monotone the whole time, 453 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,885 and it just made it even more sinister 454 00:25:38,928 --> 00:25:40,451 that he did it that way. 455 00:25:40,495 --> 00:25:43,716 - Normally, you do not have videotapes 456 00:25:43,759 --> 00:25:45,935 of this nature. 457 00:25:45,979 --> 00:25:49,722 This is the first time that I or any fellows I worked with 458 00:25:49,765 --> 00:25:51,375 had ever seen something like this. 459 00:25:51,419 --> 00:25:53,856 - It's my feeling that Leonard Lake 460 00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:56,032 wanted this tape to be found. 461 00:25:56,076 --> 00:25:59,079 And it's almost like he's talking to us from the grave, 462 00:25:59,122 --> 00:26:01,995 calmly outlining his plans to enslave women 463 00:26:02,038 --> 00:26:03,562 and use them at his free will. 464 00:26:03,605 --> 00:26:07,261 Leonard Lake explained his dark, sadistic fantasy. 465 00:26:07,304 --> 00:26:08,567 What they didn't know 466 00:26:08,610 --> 00:26:11,352 was whether or not he went through with them. 467 00:26:24,278 --> 00:26:27,020 - Investigators would find their answer 468 00:26:27,063 --> 00:26:30,458 when they watch the second video tape labeled "M Ladies." 469 00:26:30,501 --> 00:26:33,417 No one was prepared for what was on that tape. 470 00:26:43,993 --> 00:26:46,779 - Investigators now have an idea 471 00:26:46,822 --> 00:26:48,955 of what was going on here. 472 00:26:48,998 --> 00:26:52,654 They now understand what a horror show it is 473 00:26:52,698 --> 00:26:54,177 that they've opened up. 474 00:27:17,766 --> 00:27:21,814 - When investigators played the second tape labeled "M ladies," 475 00:27:21,857 --> 00:27:23,903 they quickly realized that they were watching 476 00:27:23,946 --> 00:27:26,166 a home videotape that Leonard Lake had filmed 477 00:27:26,209 --> 00:27:28,559 at the Wilseyville property. 478 00:27:28,603 --> 00:27:31,824 - One of the VHS tapes was of a young woman 479 00:27:31,867 --> 00:27:33,390 sitting in a chair. 480 00:27:33,434 --> 00:27:35,523 She's also seen on a video 481 00:27:35,566 --> 00:27:39,527 where she's tied down to a bed in the cabin. 482 00:28:10,340 --> 00:28:11,515 - In the video, 483 00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:13,692 Lake was calling a woman by the name Kathi, 484 00:28:13,735 --> 00:28:18,218 which was significant, because also inside the tub, 485 00:28:18,261 --> 00:28:20,437 they found a California driver's license 486 00:28:20,481 --> 00:28:23,223 for a woman named Kathleen Allen. 487 00:28:23,266 --> 00:28:25,704 They had suspected that Kathi was likely short 488 00:28:25,747 --> 00:28:27,096 for Kathleen Allen. 489 00:28:27,140 --> 00:28:30,926 - Now we had a name that we could work with. 490 00:28:30,970 --> 00:28:34,234 And we found out that she was 491 00:28:34,277 --> 00:28:38,325 from the Milpitas, San Jose area. 492 00:28:38,368 --> 00:28:41,241 We made contact with the San Jose Police Department 493 00:28:41,284 --> 00:28:43,939 to get additional staff to help us. 494 00:28:43,983 --> 00:28:48,074 We found out she was a missing person. 495 00:28:48,117 --> 00:28:50,554 - Police investigators discover 496 00:28:50,598 --> 00:28:54,689 Kathleen Allen works at a local grocery store 497 00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:57,126 in the San Jose area. 498 00:28:57,170 --> 00:29:01,914 On Sunday, April 14, 1985, she goes missing. 499 00:29:03,785 --> 00:29:05,134 - After her shift, 500 00:29:05,178 --> 00:29:08,268 investigators learn that Kathleen was picked up 501 00:29:08,311 --> 00:29:11,837 by a slightly balding, heavyset man in his late 30s 502 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,535 in an orange-gold Honda Prelude. 503 00:29:14,578 --> 00:29:16,145 They immediately suspected 504 00:29:16,189 --> 00:29:18,669 this was Leonard Lake in Paul Cosner's car. 505 00:29:18,713 --> 00:29:23,239 - Investigators discovered during the week of May 5th, 506 00:29:23,283 --> 00:29:27,156 Kathleen's manager receives a letter asking for her checks 507 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,811 to be sent to a PO box. 508 00:29:29,855 --> 00:29:33,032 That PO box has a return address 509 00:29:33,075 --> 00:29:35,991 of Wilseyville, California. 510 00:29:36,035 --> 00:29:38,820 That's the last anybody has ever heard 511 00:29:38,864 --> 00:29:40,648 from Kathleen Allen. 512 00:29:42,868 --> 00:29:44,130 - There's another woman 513 00:29:44,173 --> 00:29:47,655 who also appears on the VHS tape. 514 00:29:47,698 --> 00:29:49,962 Leonard Lake refers to her-- 515 00:29:50,005 --> 00:29:52,051 calls her by the name of Brenda. 516 00:29:54,575 --> 00:29:57,534 - Brenda was the name investigators recognized. 517 00:29:57,578 --> 00:29:59,667 They suspected that the woman in the video 518 00:29:59,710 --> 00:30:02,626 was the next-door neighbor Brenda O'Connor, 519 00:30:02,670 --> 00:30:04,280 who'd mysteriously vanished. 520 00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,595 Lonnie was most probably Lonnie Bond, 521 00:30:14,638 --> 00:30:17,554 Brenda O'Connor's husband, who also disappeared, 522 00:30:17,598 --> 00:30:20,340 along with their baby, Lonnie Jr. 523 00:30:20,383 --> 00:30:22,690 - It's a very difficult tape to watch. 524 00:30:22,733 --> 00:30:24,083 She's crying. 525 00:30:24,126 --> 00:30:28,478 She's asking these guys, "What about my baby? 526 00:30:28,522 --> 00:30:31,438 What have you done with my baby?" 527 00:30:35,703 --> 00:30:39,011 - This tape was completely heartbreaking, 528 00:30:39,054 --> 00:30:41,622 especially because investigators suspected 529 00:30:41,665 --> 00:30:45,191 that Brenda's baby, Lonnie Bond Jr., was dead. 530 00:30:45,234 --> 00:30:46,714 It had only been hours earlier 531 00:30:46,757 --> 00:30:48,585 that they had found blood spatter 532 00:30:48,629 --> 00:30:50,413 on the walls of the baby's bedroom. 533 00:30:50,457 --> 00:30:54,113 - Normally, when we do investigations, 534 00:30:54,156 --> 00:30:56,680 you're not getting that emotional connection 535 00:30:56,724 --> 00:30:58,944 with that person... 536 00:30:58,987 --> 00:31:01,947 where you can see it in their eyes and hear it in her voice. 537 00:31:11,826 --> 00:31:15,438 That's something that will stick with you forever. 538 00:31:36,329 --> 00:31:37,721 - As we were watching the tape, 539 00:31:37,765 --> 00:31:39,941 it was clear that there was another individual 540 00:31:39,985 --> 00:31:41,987 with Kathi and Brenda. 541 00:31:46,556 --> 00:31:47,906 - It was Charles Ng. 542 00:31:51,126 --> 00:31:53,433 - After investigators identified Charles Ng 543 00:31:53,476 --> 00:31:55,783 on that tape, it confirmed for them 544 00:31:55,826 --> 00:31:58,917 that he was much more than just a shoplifting suspect. 545 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,788 Now they were wondering 546 00:32:00,831 --> 00:32:03,791 if he was aiding and abetting Leonard Lake in his fantasies. 547 00:32:03,834 --> 00:32:06,707 And what was the level of Charles Ng's involvement? 548 00:32:06,750 --> 00:32:08,056 Was he involved in murder? 549 00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:10,798 Was he involved in Lake's sexual fantasies? 550 00:32:10,841 --> 00:32:13,453 The next step was to obtain a search warrant 551 00:32:13,496 --> 00:32:16,325 for Ng's apartment back in San Francisco. 552 00:32:16,369 --> 00:32:18,632 So, while police put in the request, 553 00:32:18,675 --> 00:32:20,808 investigators started sifting through the stack of documents 554 00:32:20,851 --> 00:32:23,506 found inside the bucket. 555 00:32:23,550 --> 00:32:26,770 - Further examination, they discovered 556 00:32:26,814 --> 00:32:28,685 Leonard Lake's diary. 557 00:32:30,992 --> 00:32:35,954 This was the key to unraveling the whole investigation. 558 00:32:50,272 --> 00:32:51,795 - This is Leonard Lake's diary. 559 00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:55,321 It spans a period of time from the 1st of January, 1983, 560 00:32:55,364 --> 00:32:57,845 to November 9, 1984, 561 00:32:57,888 --> 00:33:01,762 and it is filled with a lot of information. 562 00:33:01,805 --> 00:33:05,374 - The diary had mundane aspects of it, too-- 563 00:33:05,418 --> 00:33:08,377 "did the dishes, cleaned the house," 564 00:33:08,421 --> 00:33:10,814 you know, "did some repairs." 565 00:33:10,858 --> 00:33:12,860 - What stood out at the time to investigators 566 00:33:12,903 --> 00:33:16,385 were the numerous code names and references in this diary 567 00:33:16,429 --> 00:33:18,735 to something called Operation Miranda. 568 00:33:18,779 --> 00:33:23,175 - We were able to determine that Operation Miranda 569 00:33:23,218 --> 00:33:26,178 was basically to enslave 570 00:33:26,221 --> 00:33:29,355 and kidnap a female 571 00:33:29,398 --> 00:33:31,313 and hold her hostage 572 00:33:31,357 --> 00:33:35,361 and do the things he wanted to do with her. 573 00:33:35,404 --> 00:33:37,928 Throughout the diary, 574 00:33:37,972 --> 00:33:41,149 he had referred to the book "The Collector." 575 00:33:41,193 --> 00:33:45,066 - On the 19th of February, 1983, 576 00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:47,155 Leonard Lake writes... 577 00:33:57,165 --> 00:33:59,167 - "The Collector" is a book 578 00:33:59,211 --> 00:34:00,908 about a character 579 00:34:00,951 --> 00:34:03,041 who's kind of failed at his relationships, 580 00:34:03,084 --> 00:34:05,869 who comes into money, and he builds a cell 581 00:34:05,913 --> 00:34:07,306 where he keeps a woman 582 00:34:07,349 --> 00:34:09,351 who he wants to fall in love with him, 583 00:34:09,395 --> 00:34:11,745 and that woman's name is Miranda. 584 00:34:15,705 --> 00:34:18,969 - The main character, Miranda, eventually dies 585 00:34:19,013 --> 00:34:20,667 and is buried by her captor. 586 00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:24,584 Leonard Lake had been inspired by this 20 years prior. 587 00:34:24,627 --> 00:34:29,676 And he had carried this fantasy for nearly two decades. 588 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,375 - Operation Miranda was the realization 589 00:34:33,419 --> 00:34:36,813 of a sexual fantasy that Leonard Lake had. 590 00:34:36,857 --> 00:34:39,729 Leonard Lake starts describing in detail 591 00:34:39,773 --> 00:34:42,036 how he's gonna build this bunker, 592 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,084 how he's gonna capture women and make them his slave, 593 00:34:46,127 --> 00:34:49,174 make them do his bidding. 594 00:34:49,217 --> 00:34:51,089 - Investigators made the connection 595 00:34:51,132 --> 00:34:52,916 that the "M" in "M Ladies" 596 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,485 was likely code for the word "Miranda." 597 00:34:56,529 --> 00:34:58,661 It was becoming clear that Brenda O'Connor 598 00:34:58,705 --> 00:35:02,012 and Kathleen Allen were likely victims 599 00:35:02,056 --> 00:35:04,537 to Lake's Operation Miranda. 600 00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:08,193 If this was true, they were likely dead. 601 00:35:19,247 --> 00:35:22,946 Once investigators determined that Leonard Lake's motive 602 00:35:22,990 --> 00:35:25,862 was to enslave women for his own sexual gratification, 603 00:35:25,906 --> 00:35:28,517 they wondered whether there are other potential M Ladies 604 00:35:28,561 --> 00:35:31,129 amongst victims found on the property. 605 00:35:31,172 --> 00:35:34,393 So they started sifting through the diary page by page 606 00:35:34,436 --> 00:35:36,395 in the hopes of finding any clues. 607 00:35:36,438 --> 00:35:37,961 - It was the same 608 00:35:38,005 --> 00:35:39,746 with all of these pictures of young women 609 00:35:39,789 --> 00:35:42,183 that were found in the bunker. 610 00:35:42,227 --> 00:35:44,011 And we certainly questioned 611 00:35:44,054 --> 00:35:46,187 whether or not any of those women were still alive, 612 00:35:46,231 --> 00:35:48,102 were any of them... 613 00:35:48,146 --> 00:35:51,366 any of them or all of them abducted 614 00:35:51,410 --> 00:35:53,586 and perhaps later done away with. 615 00:35:53,629 --> 00:35:55,762 - There were still things amiss here. 616 00:35:55,805 --> 00:35:59,418 What did Operation Miranda have to do with missing people 617 00:35:59,461 --> 00:36:01,724 like the Dubs family and Paul Cosner? 618 00:36:01,768 --> 00:36:04,074 - As investigators are going through his diary, 619 00:36:04,118 --> 00:36:05,815 they start to find out hints 620 00:36:05,859 --> 00:36:07,774 that Leonard Lake is just not killing people. 621 00:36:07,817 --> 00:36:10,646 He wants to assume their identity. 622 00:36:10,690 --> 00:36:13,171 They discover that he often picks his victims 623 00:36:13,214 --> 00:36:14,389 'cause they look like him. 624 00:36:14,433 --> 00:36:16,174 And by assuming their identity, 625 00:36:16,217 --> 00:36:19,046 he's not only killing them, he will assume their names. 626 00:36:19,089 --> 00:36:22,745 He will take their checks. He will open up accounts. 627 00:36:22,789 --> 00:36:24,486 He'll collect social security. 628 00:36:24,530 --> 00:36:27,924 He will do everything. He will take over their lives. 629 00:36:27,968 --> 00:36:30,797 He considers this a military operation. 630 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,060 - So investigators are starting to piece together, 631 00:36:33,103 --> 00:36:35,236 "Is this what happened to Paul Cosner? 632 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,672 "Did Leonard Lake kill him 633 00:36:36,716 --> 00:36:39,109 so he could steal his identity and his car?" 634 00:36:41,851 --> 00:36:46,421 - The very last page of Leonard Lake's diary 635 00:36:46,465 --> 00:36:50,382 becomes key to the investigation. 636 00:36:50,425 --> 00:36:52,253 It brings everything together. 637 00:36:52,297 --> 00:36:55,778 Friday, November 2, 1984, 638 00:36:55,822 --> 00:36:58,607 "Met Charlie. Performed Op. 639 00:36:58,651 --> 00:37:01,349 "Met resistance for the first time. 640 00:37:01,393 --> 00:37:05,614 "Unsuccessful in obtaining credit cards or bank codes. 641 00:37:05,658 --> 00:37:08,530 "Drove to country for completion. 642 00:37:08,574 --> 00:37:12,491 Canceled Charlie's running debt to me." 643 00:37:12,534 --> 00:37:16,364 That was the day that Paul Cosner disappear. 644 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,066 - So, apparently, there was some type of debt 645 00:37:23,110 --> 00:37:24,459 that Ng owed Lake. 646 00:37:24,503 --> 00:37:26,374 And he fulfilled that debt 647 00:37:26,418 --> 00:37:29,290 by participating in the murder of Paul Cosner 648 00:37:29,334 --> 00:37:30,900 and the theft of his car. 649 00:37:30,944 --> 00:37:33,860 - I don't think a car would be worth it, 650 00:37:33,903 --> 00:37:35,644 but I don't know. 651 00:37:37,864 --> 00:37:41,346 - In our wildest imaginations... 652 00:37:41,389 --> 00:37:44,218 We never, ever expected this. 653 00:37:47,743 --> 00:37:49,876 -

Police painstakingly reviewed every tape 670 00:38:34,877 --> 00:38:36,575 they found in the apartment. 671 00:38:36,618 --> 00:38:39,491 Most were old films, television shows, 672 00:38:39,534 --> 00:38:41,319 nothing remarkable. 673 00:38:41,362 --> 00:38:43,625 - While investigators were going through the videotapes, 674 00:38:43,669 --> 00:38:46,411 they rewound one to the beginning 675 00:38:46,454 --> 00:38:48,369 and made an amazing discovery. 676 00:38:48,413 --> 00:38:50,328 - At the head of the tape, 677 00:38:50,371 --> 00:38:53,505 a horrific image flashed on screen. 678 00:38:53,548 --> 00:38:56,725 - In that single frame, 679 00:38:56,769 --> 00:38:59,511 you could see two bodies 680 00:38:59,554 --> 00:39:01,469 in a wheelbarrow 681 00:39:01,513 --> 00:39:02,992 in sleeping bags. 682 00:39:13,307 --> 00:39:15,744 - Once investigators discovered the shocking image 683 00:39:15,788 --> 00:39:17,267 on the videotape, 684 00:39:17,311 --> 00:39:19,182 they were trying to connect these dots. 685 00:39:19,226 --> 00:39:21,750 Whose bodies were inside the sleeping bags? 686 00:39:21,794 --> 00:39:23,186 Could it be Paul Cosner? 687 00:39:23,230 --> 00:39:24,623 Could it be the Dubs? 688 00:39:24,666 --> 00:39:28,017 Could it be Lonnie Bond or Robin Scott Stapley? 689 00:39:28,061 --> 00:39:31,412 It wasn't long before investigators got their answer. 690 00:39:31,456 --> 00:39:34,937 They had expanded their search outside of the property, 691 00:39:34,981 --> 00:39:36,939 and it was on one of these drives 692 00:39:36,983 --> 00:39:40,769 that they made an unexpected discovery. 693 00:39:40,813 --> 00:39:43,990 - We were driving up and took a left-hand turn 694 00:39:44,033 --> 00:39:49,517 onto a road where they had reforested the trees. 695 00:39:49,561 --> 00:39:51,867 And just out the corner of our eye, 696 00:39:51,911 --> 00:39:55,654 we saw freshly dug dirt. 697 00:39:55,697 --> 00:39:58,700 Coyotes or some sort of animal had dug into the ground, 698 00:39:58,744 --> 00:40:02,138 disturbing it enough to draw our attention to it. 699 00:40:02,182 --> 00:40:03,879 Also present was 700 00:40:03,923 --> 00:40:06,708 the heavy smell of decaying body. 701 00:40:06,752 --> 00:40:10,190 And we went over to investigate that. 702 00:40:10,233 --> 00:40:11,974 That's when we noticed that the material 703 00:40:12,018 --> 00:40:13,933 of, like, a green sleeping bag was in there. 704 00:40:13,976 --> 00:40:16,370 And the sleeping bag is identical 705 00:40:16,414 --> 00:40:19,112 to the one seen in the video at Charles Ng's apartment. 706 00:40:22,507 --> 00:40:24,160 - On further inspection, 707 00:40:24,204 --> 00:40:28,948 investigators discovered a body jammed headfirst into the bag. 708 00:40:28,991 --> 00:40:33,779 He was handcuffed, shot in the head with a single bullet. 709 00:40:33,822 --> 00:40:34,954 In the other sleeping bag, 710 00:40:34,997 --> 00:40:37,696 they found another man bound and gagged 711 00:40:37,739 --> 00:40:41,874 that had been shot in the head four times. 712 00:40:41,917 --> 00:40:44,354 The coroner would later identify the bodies 713 00:40:44,398 --> 00:40:48,489 as Lonnie Bond and his friend Robin Scott Stapley. 714 00:40:51,623 --> 00:40:53,189 - At this point in the investigation, 715 00:40:53,233 --> 00:40:57,933 Charles Ng was the suspect in at least nine murders. 716 00:40:57,977 --> 00:41:00,501 But we didn't know at that point where he was. 717 00:41:03,025 --> 00:41:04,766 - For Sharon, it was heartbreaking 718 00:41:04,810 --> 00:41:06,551 to think that the person responsible 719 00:41:06,594 --> 00:41:08,509 for her brother's death was on the run. 720 00:41:08,553 --> 00:41:12,208 She feared that authorities would never find him. 721 00:41:12,252 --> 00:41:14,820 -

Investigators decided to contact Leonard Lake's ex-wife 726 00:41:27,659 --> 00:41:30,183 and property owner Claralyn Balazs again 727 00:41:30,226 --> 00:41:33,055 to see if she had seen or heard from him. 728 00:41:33,099 --> 00:41:35,971 - When we asked about Charles Ng again, 729 00:41:36,015 --> 00:41:37,669 Claralyn changed her story. 730 00:41:37,712 --> 00:41:40,976 She admitted that, after the incident at the lumberyard, 731 00:41:41,020 --> 00:41:43,588 Ng came to her home and told her what had happened 732 00:41:43,631 --> 00:41:46,068 concerning Leonard's being arrested. 733 00:41:46,112 --> 00:41:48,244 She drove him to his apartment in San Francisco, 734 00:41:48,288 --> 00:41:50,420 and then she later drove him to the airport. 735 00:41:50,464 --> 00:41:52,901 And when we asked her where he was going, 736 00:41:52,945 --> 00:41:56,557 she said that she believed he was going to Chicago 737 00:41:56,601 --> 00:41:58,167 and then later into Canada. 738 00:41:58,211 --> 00:42:00,909 - With a suspected serial killer on the loose, 739 00:42:00,953 --> 00:42:03,042 investigators left further questions 740 00:42:03,085 --> 00:42:05,174 for Claralyn to a later date. 741 00:42:05,218 --> 00:42:07,568 They were more concerned about Charles Ng 742 00:42:07,612 --> 00:42:08,961 getting out of the country, 743 00:42:09,004 --> 00:42:12,138 which would make him much more difficult to find. 744 00:42:12,181 --> 00:42:14,923 - So now the clock was ticking to find Charles Ng 745 00:42:14,967 --> 00:42:16,795 before he could flee the country 746 00:42:16,838 --> 00:42:18,971 and literally get away with murder. 747 00:42:19,014 --> 00:42:21,495 - There's now an arrest warrant out on Charles Ng. 748 00:42:21,539 --> 00:42:23,976 - Charles Ng is being hunted all over the country tonight. 749 00:42:24,019 --> 00:42:27,370 - Charles Ng, now the object of a nationwide manhunt. 750 00:42:27,414 --> 00:42:29,155 - Police say he is armed 751 00:42:29,198 --> 00:42:31,723 and has said he will not be taken alive. 752 00:42:38,468 --> 00:42:41,776 - The investigation is now focusing on Charles Ng, 753 00:42:41,820 --> 00:42:42,951 who is still at large. 754 00:42:42,995 --> 00:42:44,387 - Ng was arrested 755 00:42:44,431 --> 00:42:46,041 at a Calgary department store yesterday 756 00:42:46,085 --> 00:42:47,608 when he shot a security guard in the hand. 757 00:42:47,652 --> 00:42:52,744 - I grabbed ahold of the gun, and he shot off one shot. 758 00:42:52,787 --> 00:42:55,007 - The wait has been interminable. 759 00:42:55,050 --> 00:42:57,183 I think he deserves the death penalty. 760 00:42:57,226 --> 00:42:59,968 - It was probably the most gruesome investigation 761 00:43:00,012 --> 00:43:01,579 in the history of our state. 762 00:43:01,622 --> 00:43:03,493 The family members of the alleged victims 763 00:43:03,537 --> 00:43:07,149 may actually see the terror their loved ones endured. 764 00:43:07,193 --> 00:43:09,282 - That's the only question I asked them was, 765 00:43:09,325 --> 00:43:12,502 "Was my sister murdered on tape?" 766 00:43:12,546 --> 00:43:13,895 - Charles, what are you going to do to us? 767 00:43:13,939 --> 00:43:15,201 Why are you doing this? 768 00:43:15,244 --> 00:43:17,203 - This was really a roller coaster of a trial. 769 00:43:17,246 --> 00:43:20,336 - I'm sure he did it, but they didn't prove it. 770 00:43:20,380 --> 00:43:23,513 - You, Charles Ng, you deserve to die. 59920
