Charles Ng Biography

Charles Ng is one of the most popular and richest Serial Killer who was born on December 24, 1960 in Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Charles Ng Chi-Tat (Chinese: 吳志達 ; Jyutping: ng zi daat ; born 24 December 1960) is a convicted Hong Kong-American serial killer who committed numerous crimes in the United States. He is believed to have raped, tortured and murdered between 11 and 25 victims with his accomplice Leonard Lake at Lake’s cabin in Calaveras County, California, in the Sierra Nevada foothills, 60 miles from Sacramento. After his 1985 arrest and imprisonment in Canada on robbery and weapons charges, followed by a lengthy dispute between Canada and the US, Ng was extradited to California, tried, and convicted of 11 murders. He is currently on death row at San Quentin State Prison.

They also found a hand-drawn “treasure map,” leading them to two buried five- gallon buckets. One contained envelopes with names and victims’ IDs, suggesting that the total number of victims might have been as high as 25. In the other bucket were Lake’s handwritten journals for the years 1983 and 1984, and two videotapes documenting the torture of two of their victims. In one of the tapes, Ng is seen telling victim Brenda O’Connor, “You can cry and stuff, like the rest of them, but it won’t do any good. We are pretty … cold-hearted, so to speak.” In the other, Deborah Dubs is shown being assaulted so severely that she “could not have survived.”

Ng, meanwhile, had fled to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where his sister lived. He lived, undetected, in a lean-to in Fish Creek Provincial Park until his penchant for theft did him in yet again. On 6 July 1985, he was arrested by the Calgary Police Service after shooting security guard Sean Doyle in the hand while resisting arrest for stealing a can of salmon from a Calgary department store. He was charged and subsequently convicted of shoplifting, assault with a weapon, and possession of a concealed firearm, and was sentenced to four and a half years in prison. After serving his sentence, he remained incarcerated pending an extradition request from California authorities.

Ng and Lake’s rampage might have gone on longer if not for Ng’s kleptomania. On 2 June 1985, Ng was caught shoplifting a vise from a South San Francisco hardware store and fled the scene. Lake later drove to the store and attempted to pay for the vise, but by then the police had arrived. Officers noticed that Lake bore no resemblance to the photo on his driver’s licence, which carried the name of Robin Stapley, a San Diego man reported missing by his family several weeks earlier. After a gun equipped with a prohibited silencer was found in the trunk of Lake’s vehicle, he was arrested and positively identified via a fingerprint search. In custody, while awaiting arraignment, Lake swallowed cyanide pills that he had sewn into his clothes and died four days later.

In 1982, federal authorities raided the mobile home they shared in Ukiah, seizing a large stash of illegal weapons and explosives. Lake was released on $6,000 bond. He jumped bail and drifted around the state, using a series of pseudonyms. Ng was returned to the Marines’ custody and pleaded guilty to the theft and desertion charges. Under the terms of his plea deal, he was paroled and discharged in 1984 after serving 18 months in the military stockade at the United States Disciplinary Barracks Fort Leavenworth.

Ng moved to the United States on a student visa in 1978, and studied biology at the College of Notre Dame in Belmont, California. He dropped out after one semester. At that time, he met Leonard Lake. Soon after, he was involved in a hit and run accident, and to avoid prosecution he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.

Ng became a Marine in 1979 with the help, he claimed, of a recruiting sergeant and false documents attesting to his birth in Bloomington, Indiana. After less than a year of service, he was arrested by military police for theft of automatic weapons from MCAS Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii. Facing court-martial, he escaped custody in 1980 and made his way back to northern California, where he reunited with Lake.

The license plate on Lake’s vehicle was registered to him, but the vehicle itself was registered to Paul Cosner, who had disappeared in November 1984. Lake’s auto registration led detectives to the property in Wilseyville, where they found Stapley’s truck and Bond’s car, and behind the cabin, the dungeon. In a makeshift burial site nearby, police unearthed roughly 40 pounds of burned and crushed human bone fragments corresponding to a minimum of 11 bodies.
