In this chilling episode, we dive into the disturbing crimes of serial killers Leonard Lake and Charles Ng. Operating from a remote compound in Northern California during the 1980s, the pair carried out a series of kidnappings, torture, sexual assaults, and murders that shocked the nation. Their crimes remained hidden for years until a seemingly routine shoplifting arrest unraveled one of the most horrifying criminal cases in American history.
