Michael Sean Carroll was 22 and living in San Francisco when he vanished on April 12, 1985. He and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Kathleen Allen, were staying in a motel; that evening Carroll told Kathleen he had to take care of something and would return the next morning but never came back.

A few days later Kathleen got a phone call at work from someone saying Carroll had been in a shooting and was in Lake Tahoe. She left work and was last seen getting into a car with a bearded man in the Safeway parking lot where she worked. Investigators later linked both Carroll and Kathleen to the crimes committed by Leonard Lake and Charles Ng at a remote Wilseyville cabin. Items recovered at the property included videotapes, victims’ personal effects and identification, and Carroll’s driver’s license.

Leonard Lake was arrested June 2, 1985, and died in custody by ingesting a cyanide pill. Charles Ng fled to Canada, was later extradited, and in 1999 was convicted of 11 counts of first-degree murder, including the killings of Michael Carroll and Kathleen Allen, and sentenced to death.

Did anyone who knew Michael or Kathleen recognize them from the details recovered at the Wilseyville property?
