Sean Dubs was 1 year old when he disappeared with his parents, Harvey and Deborah Dubs, from their San Francisco apartment on July 25, 1984. Their disappearance was later tied to Charles Chitat Ng and Leonard Lake, who carried out a series of abductions and killings in Northern California between July 1984 and April 1985.

Lake was arrested in June 1985 after being caught shoplifting a vise; while being questioned he took cyanide and died by suicide. Investigators then searched Lake’s Wilseyville property and found human remains, victims’ possessions, and a hidden prison cell. Ng fled to Canada, was arrested there in July 1985, and was extradited to the United States in 1991 to face charges including 11 counts of first-degree murder that named Sean and his parents among the victims. Ng’s trial ran from October 1998 to February 1999, ending in conviction and a death sentence.

The case is remembered for the scale and brutality of the crimes and for the discovery at Wilseyville that linked multiple missing people to Ng and Lake. Does anyone have information about the Dubs family or memories of the San Francisco community in 1984 that could shed more light on their last known days?
