"I'm Leonard Thomas Lake (October 29, 1945 – June 6, 1985). I'm also known as Leonard Hill and a variety of other aliases, I was an American survivalist and serial killer. During the mid-1980s, Lake and my accomplice, Hong Kong-born Charles Ng, tortured and murdered an estimated eleven to twenty-five victims at a remote cabin near Wilseyville, California, 150 miles east of San Francisco. Upon being arrested on unrelated charges in 1985, I swallowed cyanide pills that I had sewn into my clothing and died four days later. Human remains, videotapes and journals found at my cabin later confirmed Ng's involvement, and were used to convict Ng on eleven counts of capital murder."
