Introduction

Charles Chi-tat Ng is a convicted serial killer responsible for a horrific series of murders that took place in the 1980s in Calaveras County, California. Alongside his accomplice, Leonard Lake, Ng was involved in the kidnapping, torture, and murder of multiple victims, many of whom were held captive at Lake's remote cabin in Wilseyville.

Background

Born in Hong Kong in 1960, Ng moved to the United States in the late 1970s and had a troubled history, including multiple arrests for theft and firearms violations. His association with Leonard Lake led to a series of brutal crimes that came to light in 1985 after a shoplifting incident resulted in their capture.
