Lonnie Bond Jr. was a 1-year-old infant who disappeared and was killed on April 19, 1985, in Wilseyville, California. He lived with his parents, Lonnie Bond Sr. and Brenda O’Connor, in a home near Leonard Lake’s property; the family had moved to the area only months before the disappearance. Tensions between Bond Sr. and Lake over Lake’s inappropriate advances toward O’Connor are reported to have escalated before the family’s fate.

Investigators concluded Lake and Charles Ng abducted and murdered multiple people and that Lonnie Jr. was among their victims. Brenda O’Connor was videotaped pleading for her child’s life while Lake said the boy was already dead. Lonnie Jr.’s body was never recovered, but authorities believe he was disposed of among other victims at Lake’s property. Lake was arrested after a shoplifting incident, ingested cyanide and died by suicide in custody. Ng fled to Canada, was later arrested there, extradited and ultimately convicted of multiple first-degree murders, including Lonnie Bond Jr., and sentenced to death in 1999.
