Randy Vern Jacobson, a 35-year-old white male, was last seen alive on October 15, 1984. His remains were recovered on June 18, 1985, buried beneath a chicken coop on a remote Wilseyville, California, property linked to Leonard Lake and Charles Ng.

Investigators searching the site found a bunker containing human remains, personal effects of missing people, and videotapes showing acts of torture. Jacobson’s bank card was recovered in Leonard Lake’s possession at the time of Lake’s arrest, a piece of evidence tying Jacobson to the Wilseyville crimes and to Lake and Ng.

Leonard Lake was arrested on June 2, 1985, and died in custody after ingesting a cyanide pill four days later. Charles Ng fled but was later captured in Canada and extradited to the United States; he was convicted on multiple counts of murder and sentenced to death.
