description: "Leonard Thomas Lake, also known as Leonard Hill and a variety of other aliases, was an American survivalist and serial killer. He raped, tortured and murdered at least eleven and perhaps up to twenty-five victims with his accomplice Charles Ng. They held victims at a remote cabin near Wilseyville, California, 150 miles east of San Francisco, between 1983 and 1985. Lake was never convicted of murder, as he took cyanide pills soon after his arrest on shoplifting charges and died four days later. Lake was not identified as a murder suspect until investigation after his death."
