Harvey Dubs was 30 when he disappeared from his San Francisco apartment in July 1984 with his wife Deborah and their 16-month-old son Sean. Their disappearance was later linked to a series of abductions, torture and murders carried out from a remote Wilseyville cabin in Northern California by Leonard Lake and Charles Ng. Investigators recovered remains at the cabin along with videotapes and journals documenting the crimes.

Lake was arrested for shoplifting in June 1985 and died by suicide after ingesting cyanide pills. Ng fled to Canada, was later arrested there for shoplifting, extradited, tried and ultimately convicted of 11 counts of first-degree murder, including the killings of Harvey Dubs and his family; the jury found true the multiple-murder special circumstance and imposed a death sentence in 1999. The case is notable for the brutality of the crimes and the extensive legal proceedings that followed.

Does anyone have memories of the Dubs family or information about their last known days in San Francisco?
