four
There's no place to escape to this is the last
On the left
That's when the cannibalism started
It's an orphan getting food for the first time and just added that to the bevy of characters that are gonna get you fired from heroes
This Thursday at 8 p.m. And NBC welcome to the last podcast on the left everyone
I am Ben Kizaliz always with Marcus Parks. Hey, and then Henry. Yeah, okay good. It's always me every week
I never change. No, you don't change. I have no place to go. Mm-hmm. All right. We're on part three
This is gonna be a four-parter, huh? Yeah, we were gonna try to make it a three-parter
But man what the more we got into this story the more we realized there's just not you just can't leave anything out
It's just all too good. It's all too gruesome to skip over
All right, and a very sprawling and complex case extremely so once you get into the details, too
Because the details are so muddled we're trying to piece them all together for you and the case we're discussing is of course Leonard
Lake and Charles
These two fucks
After getting back it's like coming back into the research after doing the crystal special the deck of popcorn
Thank you for listening and indulging us
I was very happy with it
Once you get back to the world you got more and more just been like what two insufferable pieces of shit
Oh, they are the worst. Can you imagine them as neighbors? I know a big tall
People imagine them as neighbors and it did not work out. Well. No, no, no, they didn't wake up from that dream
No, and they were fucking it's Leonard Lake is a twig swagger and polyamorous
Probably the bush hair hanging out of his short shorts
Oh, yeah on about how you want to see these pictures of the 16-year-old girl
He bald back in the 84 and then you got his Asian goon
Who in the first time that you're gonna put into this outline is described as muscular?
Oh, he's described as muscular again, and again, but he's not he's a buff cookie
He's like a a buff cookie. He's a buff cookie. I saw some pictures. No, no, no, he's like he is a Kim Jong-un
Yeah, oh Kim Jong-un is a lot of muscle underneath that fat. No, that's what my dad kept saying about us
Well, well when we left off with Charles Eing and Leonard Lake they had just slaughtered the entire
dubs family and
Remember that Leonard Lake at this point is still on the run from the gun charges when
The cops made the raid on their compound when they got a hold of Charles
Hey, but you say on the run as if Leonard Lake is fleeing from the cops
No, no, no, he made the choice to live off the grid. That's how Leonard Lake always validates things a truly free man
Yeah, he's finally back in the 80s. You could do that. Yeah, you really good
I mean but what yeah, but unfortunately you still could not buy a used car
If you're living outside the confines of the law outlaw problems hashtag struggle is real absolutely
So after months of looking in the newspaper for just the right vehicle to continue
Operation Miranda Leonard Lake finally found the perfect vehicle in a
1980 Honda prelude now nothing says get a woman into a sex basement to tire up raper maker
Do your wash and in your cooking like a beautiful beautiful Matt gray Honda prelude Honda prelude
And that's brings us to our sponsorship for this episode brought to you by the Honda prelude looking to go kill and murder and maim a woman
What I try a prelude and guess what you can keep a dead baby in the glove compartment
sold
So the owner of the car wanted in bush hair brown
Unfortunately, we only have it in menstrual blood red and orange peel orange orange peel
We had no idea bush here bush hair brown was gonna sell out so fast. I'm sorry
So the owner of the car was a man named Paul cosner and in an extraordinary coincidence
Paul's sister Donna who had worked at us as a trapeze artist for Barnum and Bailey in the early 80s had actually taken a
Photo with Sir Lancelot the goat unicorn
Honestly, and then we're gonna find out Paul cosner as in most cases of serial killers of and the way they are caught
Paul cosner is the thread that it's going to end up pulling the whole Leonard Lake Charles in case apart
He's one of the one of many threads. It all tends to come together. It all comes together in the end
And it's got nothing to do with Paul. It's got exactly to do with the rapist special Honda prelude
So either way on November 2nd
1984 Charles and Leonard met with Paul cosner and killed him for the Honda prelude evidence showed that
They shot Paul in the back of the head as one of them rode in the back seat
Never ever going a test drive with a dude in the front and a guy in the back
No, again, do not sell shit off of Craigslist and bring them to your house. Don't bring them your house
This isn't Craigslist. This is scarier than Craigslist. This is the newspaper. Yeah, personal ads classified. This is the thrifty nickel
You only buy a something from the thrifty nickel as if it's a boy or girl
The only things you buy out of a newspaper or like a sander
Can't be used for crime. So they can't be killed while testing something you can hold in front of you
And you don't have someone behind you with a gun like a boy or a girl. Yeah
So not too long after Charles, Aang was released from Leavenworth
Leonard and Charles decided to try to get hired at a local moving company these two guys rolling up to fill out a fucking job
application so while Aang went ahead and used his real name Leonard Lake decided to instead use the last name
Blake good fake name again Leonard like
Exhibiting his ability to make very believable fake name. Yes. He put a bee in front of his last name. Yeah
So that was no way they were gonna find him there. Can't question me. It's like Lake
But with the bee and while he's saying that out loud at the application like Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake
We'll just mark it down for Blake. Yeah, you know what you can go ahead and do that. This is my friend tongue duck
No, no, no, no, I never changed the name. I told him and I'll be that way today. I try
Chasing all most mighty of the inks Charles. Oh
birthday
You're right it down big redness. I never use any small redness only use capital because you may never
You know what I bring to friendship what I bring to the movie company when you have me there
I'm sure sure. Yeah. Oh
me never backer
You're the only two that have applied so I am in a tough position. I certainly am not afraid of cabinet
Hired well, yes, Charles Aang was hired Leonard Lake
Was not because Charles Aang was in much better shape than Leonard Lake because at this how do you lose a job to Charles Aang?
Because Leonard Lake had a Randy Quaid body. I see and was not he didn't slide. He was the professional face of the movie
Well, you know Dennis moving company would very soon come to regret their decision to hire Charles Aang for Charles was an odd
employee to say the least he of course continued his classic chance
No, Kim. No, three moved in Mira. Do not break his bedrock
And no gun no fun. I oh, what is this umbrella stand?
Oh, you must be very rich have own garbage came from bears
But the thing is with garbage came from prayers you throw out the emperors
It's got an easy last name to spell
But a much more cryptic and creepy the catchphrase had been added this one was daddy dies
Mommy cries baby fry, which is he's really good at this
This is what the man was chanting as he was moving things out of someone's house or into someone's house
You've paid this man and then a squat Kim Jong-un man with Jeffrey Dahmer glasses is chanting daddy
cries daddy dies mommy cries baby fries as he's been like the cabinet in the corner
Oh
Tell me women can never make decision for where to put furniture
That is why they must be bound and wrapped and forced to wash and cook for you
Anyways, where do you want me to put down the corner? Just put it in the corner. Thanks
That's the things what he would say is it later when they asked him about this during the trial
This is what he would say he used these chants in the spirit of I know nice very jacquero
jacquero type of rocker room talk. It was jacquero jacquero jacquero jacquero jacquero
No, yeah, I took around and so when I say how a teacher would say joke round. I said jacquero jacquero
Will the record show that he meant jacquero
How's the pro guys jacquero? Yeah. Yeah, no gun. No fun thing
Yeah, it's funny for your football players or cross players. They get together and they all riff about all you know
Got no fun. It's not yeah, I'll be fun. You don't know what I bring to the movie company a lot of jocular attitude
Yeah, that's good super jocular
Well the the moving company like they did not take him seriously at all like he he was just they just treated him as kind of an
Accenture dude and in fact they working at a moving company
Yeah, they drew little caricatures of like a little Chinese guy
Of course with the big glasses and the bug teeth and they would write no kill no thrill above it
He loved it. He loved it. It's jocular. That is jocular. That is jocular. That's boys having fun
Yeah, that's boys being boys super jocular and of course as
Everywhere Charles, Inge went some people did kind of like him
He had one friend his name was Perry McFarland and Perry ate dinner with Charles every once in a while and in between moving jobs
They'd practice spin kicks and their spare time lose
That's a good that's a good friend man. She should have stayed with this guy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no
You kick fuck higher. Okay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. What you do here? Oh, you look
You know, I don't mean to offend never mean to offend
Oh, it's most honorable with food people who offend to Charles, Inge
But I have to say you look gay when you cook right when you kick like that. Okay, sir
Yep, you guys stick it up. Yeah, McFarland. Yes, Tim. Thank you, but super hat. Oh, now you're doing a candy cake
Mm-hmm. We should do this before we eat next time. Yes, I am nourishes. Yeah, always getting sick
Of course
Most people did not like Charles, Inge cuz I gotta tell you Charlie
I you know hanging out with this is like I just don't think most people really understand what you bring to the table in a friendship
I mean at this point the only thing that he does bring into the into the friendship is kicking pencils out of your hands, right?
But everybody had a friend like this. I had a friend like this. I definitely had a friend. It was this dude
Forget his name. I slapped him in the face. I got insurable playing chess with him
I got mad with him who's a hovis witness
But his whole thing was that he would hit himself all the time and he like break stuff over his head
We're all like this guy is great. God knows what he's doing
You slap the Jehovah's Witness over a game of chess. Yes, I used to have rage issues
I also my sister once beat me in a game of risk
At this we were having a vacation with my cousins and she beat me in the game of risk and I flipped the whole table
Yeah
So of course most of these employees they did not get along with Charles
His main rival was a man named
Charles Parenteau who also happened to be the person who took a chance on the strange oddly muscular Chinese man
During one argument they were having about the workload
Parenteau yelled you god damned Chinaman. I never should have gotten you this job
You don't think I got myself the job. Look at these strong charges. Look at these strong knees
You don't know what I bring to move a company. You don't know what I bring
parents
Yeah, you don't know what I did me and my buddy ran or I hate him
He hates when I say where he hates when I say ran my friend
Oh, and I couldn't have you mean Leonard Leonard Leonard. I said Leonard
Strong knees and strong shoulders. That's really all you need to move
Yeah, and the ability to work well with others. Yeah, there's a team and it's always don't talk to one another
Do they aren't they busy moving? I'm sure we have some people who do I mean if you listen to podcast in your mover
Tell us do you have friends?
Work as a team is it important to keep a core understanding of what the job is so the Chinaman comment among many other
Comments concerning Ing's Chinese ancestry would eventually push Ing towards murder
Charles Parenteau
Disappeared on Super Bowl Sunday
1985 the same day that local hero Joe Montana led the San Francisco 49ers to a 38 to 16 victory over the Miami
Dolphins and Dan Marino's one and only Super Bowl appearance. Thank you. Thank you dog meat
Is that fact just to attack Ed Larson right from the round table? Yeah, kind of yeah, Dan Marino
Never won a Super Bowl. You never had a chain, you know, he choked Dan Marino made it to one Super Bowl
And then he win it. Nope. No, you lost. He lost it
He choked like George Bush on a pretzel if you remember that I do that was funny
Yeah, I remember that yeah, yeah, Joe Montana some would argue a superior quarterback to Dan Marino
Yeah, don't say that that's fighting words. We're gonna get some hate mail. Charles Ing, it was game day
It was game day for Marino
Everybody out there eating at Buffalo Rain
Everybody out there eating a tostita chip you mix it in this salsa. Yes. I know it's a savory snack and I enjoy
But that is the day I used for most of various activity. What's that?
I can't
Ritchie permanent. Yeah, I didn't mean for him. Yeah, I would don't know what I bring see the game though
Yep. Yeah, I mean Jim Montana very impressive
Marino, huh? Yeah, Marino rich shit to bed. Yeah
Later during the trial Charles Ing would claim that he lured lured parent toe to the cabin with the promise of a freelance
Moving gig now Aang who's still to this day denies committing any murders himself
Said that Lake shot parent toe in the head burned the body and spread the charred bones around the property using a bucket
But this wouldn't be the only murder that Aang would commit at Dennis moving company another one of his co-workers
Jeff Gerald strange combo of two first names as a whole name. Yeah, Jeff Jerry
He was the bass player for the up-and-coming local rock band crash and burn. Oh cool
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he would go missing later on that year
You remember that and they had that hit album that was almost headed
I think it hit number a thousand fourteen on the charts called a margarita of mayhem. Oh, yeah
I love that song. It was pretty good. Yeah, it does remind me of we did see about it for Christmas
We saw a steel a um Steely Dan Steely Dan cover band called Raised by Wolves
R-A-Z-E-D
Well, if you were raised by a wolf, how do you learn how to play guitar?
See the reason why Jeff Gerald disappeared was because Aang had taken issue with Jeff leaving work for a week for quote-unquote
Personal reasons while still retaining his position of seniority
See Aang believed that Jeff he should have to start back at the bottom when he came back. It's a how's he gonna come?
How's he gonna come back after leaving for personal reasons? Where he go? Oh, sorry. Where he go? Where Jeff? It's the vacation
I think he's really exhausted. Yeah. Yeah, you know think I know exhausted look at my eyes how to squint
Oh, you make race a comment about how I age it and I tell you I just quit
I because my eyes tired how many times I look at boxes
Did you want to take any time off? We'd love if you took me like Vietnam in Vietnam. Thanks for fear
People near what I brought to the Marines and in there what brought to the middle of a camp with you
I should be senior officer
Yeah, I came up to you
I move I move mirror with most our equity with most grace under fire
Yeah, alacrity
Fundal miss miss a fundamental misunderstander grace on the fire
Everybody's a bunch of ink. Oh, he could cucumber
He's still want to run deep with that Charles. Oh
Senior officer. Oh, Jeff Jerry. Oh, I'll kill you. Oh, I'll kill you with me. My body ran out. What was that?
It's reynard my best friend
Oh, I see I recognize that is what Inge said that actually happened
He said that when he was complaining to Leonard Lake about this situation
Inge or Lake told him it should quote-unquote
It should be like numb as an ink should just kill whoever he needed to in order to advance in the moving company and kill
Gerald he did but no word on whether it actually worked and we remembered Leonard Lake spend Vietnam twisting dials far away from the war
That's right. Yeah
So as we said on the last episode the actual timeline of Leonard Lake and Charles Inge's crimes is
Muddled to say the least at least from the sources that we have if I could drive to California and look up missing persons reports
I would but I can't Marcus would I totally would and I mean his girlfriend would leave him
But he would she'd come with me. She'd have to
Fusion of couple one with weird teeth. The other one a beautiful lady. They're in a 1980 prelude
Second oh, that's the abductor special. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They actually got the the pubic hair
Oh, whatever. No way. Yeah, big trunk on that. Mm-hmm beautiful
But at any rate we believe that it's around this time that Leonard Lake and Charles Inge capture their first
M lady. This is when shit gets a little bit serious
Kathleen Allen she was a high school student working part-time in a supermarket in San Jose
her boyfriend Mike Carroll was a local hood and drug dealer who had done time with
Charles Inge and Leavenworth prison and he was still involved in various illicit dealings with Inge at the time of his
disappearance which I feel like at the same time because Charles Inge and Leonard Lake were sort of
And this time like what we talk about with serial killers a lot. They were they were slowly ramping up
Yeah, their crimes were kind of all over the place Charles Inge again was a kleptomaniac
Maniac he was just a fucking maniac who would just go he was doing everything that was dirty. He was it was a sneak
He was a liar. He would cheat everybody that he could and basically just was
Surrounded by these hoods and Mike Carroll just so happened to be dating Kathleen Allen and much dirt
I mean her bad luck. Just yeah, you know get family to help you move. Yeah, you know if you're moving friends
Friends family give them give them some free pizza some beer. They'll do it. They'll do it
You got to do the maitre with movers. You leave out a dish of coins, right?
See if they take any of it. What you I have been doing is you run current through them. Oh
Oh, good. You're a lot. You're gonna
You see their skeleton like a brash flight and they're just nothing but a skeleton
It's a Joker in the first Batman movie. Yes, you know, you have dishonest you you will electrocute the movers to the death
So one night after finishing up his shift at Domino's
Mike Carroll told a co-worker that he was heading up to San Francisco to buy some video equipment from a friend
Carol was missing for two days before Kathy got a call at the Safeway where she worked after the call ended
She told her supervisor that she needed to take at least two weeks off of work because her boyfriend had been shot and
She needed to go take care of it
So he left the Domino's and then there the girlfriend of the Safeway. Yes, real American tale
Oh, absolutely
Oh, you know, this is hard of the country and then like how many how many times has this manager heard that he did a cashier
Need to leave because her boyfriend just got shot. Yeah, yeah classic Safeway
Yeah, and she's got to go take care of it, of course, but now with an actuality
She received a call from Leonard Lake saying that we have your boyfriend
We are holding him hostage because he busted up a deal for us
And so you need to come basically as collateral to show up or bring us money
Yeah, which is much like what happened with Charles Manson. Yes. It was the drug deal gone bad
Hey, you've got to come and bail this guy out. But for some reason Kathy Allen, the best she could come up with was
He's been shot. I got to go take care because yeah, that just sounds vague enough
To not be immediate crime problems. I don't know Leonard Lake was about to eat his employee pizza
as well from Domino's so the last anyone actually saw of Kathy Allen was her climbing into the
1980 Honda Prelude and the last time she was heard from was later on that night when she called a friend
To kind of tell her where she was going the only things that she said about the man that was giving her a ride
Was that he was quote-unquote kind of weird and kept insisting that he'd take pictures of her
But Kathy Allen kept telling her friend listen. It's fine. I just want to let you know that I'm going to be out of town for a little bit
But don't worry about it again
Ladies who listen to the podcast men even who listen to the podcast
It's easy to just say you're a photographer
Right because you could just say oh, I take pictures. I do this. Please. Let me just see the nipples. Let me see the nipples
And then take a picture of it that no one is a photographer pretty if there are like 10 real photographers like Robert maple Thorpe
The other guy the rapist guy. Um, the guy Richardson the guy from who does the oscars lines, uh
Getty the getty images just them. There are no photographers. No, so just
Just bet that they're not
Just know they're not everyone's taking pictures nowadays though. It was it was creepier back then
I would assume this is a polaroid or something. Well, yeah, because he had to fill the thing with the powder and then
That's from texas trains on massacre. Yeah, that's the beginning of texas trains on massacre
So by the time cathie showed up at the cabin her boyfriend mike was
Long dead, but she didn't know this she did not know this
and this was something that uh
Leonard lake and charles eng would use on all of their captives to kind of hang over their head
But cathie would be the first of two women that we know of to suffer from videotape
Psychological and physical torture at the hands of Leonard lake and charles eng as their
Mlady, this is the culmination
Of a fantasy that Leonard lake has had since he was a teenager which is very interesting because in his first video diary entry
he he explains
uh, what which I think is uh
indicative
Of who he is as a person that he said I wonder how far I'll go
Yeah with these videos and my ideas, uh, and it's
I'm not saying it's laudable, but he definitely fulfilled his dreams and he made it happen
He did um and he followed through it's really fucked up because he really did in order to make this happen
He had to go through such efforts
This is really showing just how much maniac Leonard lake is in order to have a sex dungeon
You are already put into the top 3 percentile of horrible maniacs that exist in the world
I would say too. I'm not gonna say that it was that difficult of a thing
It's not like I mean it wasn't renting the damn place out in williamsburg for try to say
It was a shit dungeon, but he had to keep killing people to take their ideas. That was hard
I think you're giving them a little bit too much credit
It's pretty easy to just kill someone and put them in a in a dungeon. You saying that very flippantly like
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't know. I mean really he kind of makes I mean aria if aria castro can do it
I know it's true
Yeah, a lot of borderline retarded people that have held people hostage as sex slaves for a long time
Yeah, but uh, but on the other hand, you know, it's like
I would say it's good. No, it's not good. No, we do not endorse it. No, of course not
But you know what you can't you know measure a fish by how well he can climb a tree, you know
You've been in texas for too long. It's the problem. Do you have too long of a christmas break with all your nature analogies?
Oh, that's just all I might as well just give a horse a hat
Well, if you're gonna be going and you might as well give a biscuit some boots
We're gonna go ahead and rape a woman in a closet. I'm voting for biscuits and boots for mayor. Oh, yeah
Well, there's a pretty contentious mayor race going on in jayton texas right now. So, you know, it's not polite to it's not
I got a guy named like jay ferrell and a
Fucking crock pot full of stew. Oh, but I love stew. I love stew. I like stew stew's honest
stew and never lie
Now it's back to serious. Now it's back to super serious like awful. Okay. Yeah
So all of the m-lady quote-unquote sessions for lack of a better word
I don't really know what else to call it
We're eventually found on one videotape in a plastic barrel
Buried in the linard's front yard. So in the first session with Kathy
She's seen sitting fully clothed on a recliner with her hands tied around her back and she is absolutely
Petrified she she is on it's almost like she is incapable of moving. Well, it's absolutely because
When you're a part of something so shocking
I think that's a that's an interesting thing to talk about because we always kind of talk about like if you're a victim of this
Or if you're being held hostage or if you're being kidnapped
You want to say you'd be freaking out and fighting and go into the edge
But it's like honestly shock comes over the body pretty quickly. You know what I do what I'm making iron man suit
Somebody's thinking. Yeah, somebody's thinking somebody's really thinking with that little buddy that's in there with you
Yeah, the cell that's you know looking for revenge for his family with paltrow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it'll be French
Yeah, yeah, she's got a whole iron man recipe on goop. Right?
Yeah, great name for a website
Yeah, but but Henry's absolutely right when you really when you talk to a lot of people the the fight or flight
People talk about the fight or flight instinct. Sometimes neither one happens. You're just going to shock. Yeah, it's just full on shock
Because most of you don't believe it's happening exactly your brain pops a gasket
Just something just completely pops and people talk about this in
Huge disasters people talk about this in 9 11 and the Oklahoma City bombings and suicide bombings around the world
A lot of people just talk about these unbelievable things that happen
Your brain just doesn't compute and you just kind of stand there
Or if you talk about in terms of like and watching making a murderer when they talk about the
Getting eliciting the confessions from Brendan Dassey when you watch this kid a lot of it's also kind of disbelief
I mean Brendan Dassey was just also developing developmentally disabled
He had a learning disability and trying to get a confession out of him
You just kind of believe like oh if I just follow these people's orders, I'll be done and then I can go home
Same thing with the kid in the west Memphis 3 case
You know, it's like if you end the same thing that happens in the uh, you know all of the satanic panic stuff
It's just like well if I just fall along with this then if I just go with the flow then I can get out of here
I can go home because no one really believes that what you're going to do is lead to your death or your permanent like
Incarceration. Yeah, so you just kind of handle it and this is it's very it's very brutal the videos are very brutal
Same thing with goats
What?
Goats will just they'll go right down. You spent too long alone on Christmas. No. No goats will go right down
Oh the fainting goat you scare a goat. It'll go right down. What's up, but you know what I'm thinking about a goat
I watch I watch the animal planet. I know you scare a goat it goes down
But you could also just feed a goat goats are meant to stay in cages
Yeah, goats are captive animals. Nothing's meant to stay in a cage. Goats are meant to be on roofs. That's that's right
Well, that is a Texas thought
I think goat's supposed to be my Jamaican stew
Like that goat stew
Well as far as speaking to your your point about if you just go along with this then everything will be okay
And maybe you'll get out of this
Uh, the beginning of the video Leonard Lake's just he's kind of explaining to her like
What her life's going to be like for the next couple of weeks?
Uh, and this is what he said kind of and also
Yes, the the videos are out there, but the sound quality is so low and so
Garbled that if we played it right now, you wouldn't be able to understand it without subtitles. Yeah, so that's what it's sad
Yeah, because I wanted to actually hear his voice, but I'm not going to do his exaggeration
I mean, he's just exactly as you imagine him. He's just dead panned dead sold dead voiced
Uh, kind of it's almost it's just a matter of fact almost boring and vaguely condescending as well
Super condescending toy bucks killer s. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, very much so
Uh, but this is what he said uh to uh,
Kathy after explaining to her what was going to happen if you don't go along with this
We're going to take you into the bed tie you down
Shoot you and bury you
and that's pretty
In line with the type of threats that he makes to Kathy from then on because then he believes he was in total control
Yeah, and their confidence has gotten so huge at this point that they they really do believe
that they are that
Then being nice to them for not immediately killing them. Yeah. Yeah, they're justifying themselves at every turn
So the third one is actually the most disturbing
The third show is Kathy Allen lying on a bed wearing nothing but cut-off jean shorts
Her wrists are handcuffed. Her ankles are bound
Leonard he's taken pictures of her acting like it's just another modeling session and that's that's what really makes this creepy
Is that you just you see after hearing for so long about Leonard Lake
Doing these photo sessions taking all these photos of these nude and scantily clad women
Most of which he's just kind of talked them into you really see it and you really see how he sees these women. Well, he
Truly does mean it when he says I want an off-the-shelf lover. This is what he he this is what he's always wanted
It's this it's this pedantic like kind of male view of it's very strange of like keeping this woman captive
And so that he could do whatever he wants with her completely use her as a as a as a piece of meat and and
It's only for his sexual fantasy is horrible human being yeah
And this is what he tells her as he is taking photos
I told you there's a lot of things I'd like to do with you that I know you wouldn't like
And even though it shouldn't make any difference to me in terms of what you like and what you don't like
I've tried to respect your feelings as best as I can in these matters
On the other hand when I tell you to do things. I tell you things that are very important to me that I want you to do
Wow, wow well nerd alert this guy is such a jerk off
Well, yeah, what happens when a nerd that is bullied or not? He was never bullied
But someone who is not seen upon as like a tough dude by other guys as soon as they have a little power
This is exactly what they sound like it's exactly what we've been talking about the last two episodes
It's like this is the attitude of like the internet guy the ineffectual internet nerd the types of things that you hear
Leonard Lake say the types of things that you read about that he wrote in his journal
It's the same things that you'll see if you go to a reddit thread and like the men's rights
Oh
The guy who shoots in like five seconds as soon as he touches
He like comes in his pants all the time blames the woman
Yeah, yeah, and then believes it you know the women are play things and they're not equally
It's it's a it's someone who has no understanding them because of the internet in our time in age
It's like these are people that are increasingly more isolated and porn
In that way is very bad because it kind of just watches these women who are supplyant
Live things that only do things that like basically are like sex slaves and sex craze
And they're speaking of porn
I'm sure a lot of people looked at these photos and things like that and that got off on them and all that
Uh, yeah, we'll get we'll definitely get later into what Leonard Lake might have done with some of these videos
Uh, and I'm sure people yeah, you're right. I'm sure people watch these videos that are online
And I'm sure it fucking turns them right the fuck on but I understand being into consensual like btsm stuff
Oh, absolutely. Yeah, that's totally different. There's there's zero wrong with that like that's that's that is a healthy fantasy
But Leonard Lake's fantasy involves it being real. Well, it's about, you know, but truly
Unable to do anything for yourself and to think for yourself
That is the thing that makes him most sexually excited is someone that is completely under his dominance somebody who he's like a middle manager
You know, I mean, he's just one of these. He's just a he's just a piece of shit
It reminds me of my boss at uh at borders in Tallahassee who used to wear pewter rings
Oh, yeah, he used to like talk about how he's just like we should all do sometimes is like maybe after work
We could all get a drink and stuff like that. He just wanted to fuck everybody. Yeah. Yeah
That's why I always dress uh if I ever uh play around with a gal and we have role playing
She is dressed like Darth Vader and I'm a stormtrooper and I do the dishes
Yeah, it's kind of a thing I do. That makes me upset
It's a good way to do the dishes. Yeah, that's a that's a real weird
So, I mean hasn't worked yet. Oh, yeah, I'm completely unaroused. Also, it's like it's very um commercially viable. Yeah
And trendy right super trendy on on fleek
That is on fleek bay
That is that is not ratchet what you're saying. I'm gonna hand it all that out smh
What is that smdh?
Shake my hand everything's smh side. I side. I man. I'm feeling that
Yeah, ratchet
So in between sessions
Kathy was held prisoner in the bunker that had been years in the making for Leonard Lake both physically
And mentally this is something that he had spent years thinking about and it's something that he spent years
Constructing at first glance the bunker seemed like just a normal storage shed
tools hanging from the walls shovels picks and
And such and such but if you turned around
You'd see a wall covered from top to bottom in photos of naked or scantily clad women
Have you guys ever seen a shed like this?
Most sheds are like most sheds actually. This is how janitors live. I was with a janitor bob at uh in middle school
I'm pretty sure it was deer pictures and women. Yeah, I don't know what he was jerking off to both
That's a problem that begin to cross streams. It's like I'll just wish I could be normal
Yeah, yeah, oh man. I wish I could sit at a desk and sit. I gotta mop the desk
Well, he had a great magazine called deer chicks
It's just a dead deer next to a woman's spread eagle and they're like which hole does the pole go
Right kind of a choose your own adventure type
So if you went further
Into so if you did a little bit of a closer inspection of the actual shed
You could see that there was a bookcase that you would be able to move
and behind the bookcase
Was a door that led to a narrow passageway the first stop
Was a chamber that police who discovered it would later call the living area and in here
They found a bed a table with a lamp a dresser and of course a copy of the collector on the bookshelf
Nerd. You're such a jerk off. Nerd, unbelievable
And at the end of the passageway sat the prison cell itself
It was three and a half feet wide by six and a half feet long and totally soundproofed
On one end of the room was a two and a half foot wide platform with a foam rubber pad resting on top
And on the other end was a five gallon plastic bucket and a roll of toilet paper
And one of the walls was just a big one-way mirror that faced into the living area
And what they found on the other side of the mirror was a chair
And next to it was a night vision goggles
So the idea is that he would shut off all of the lights in the whole area and watch her through night vision goggles
Like silence of the lambs. Yes. It's a lot like silence of the lambs
He just I just think he'd like the night vision goggles
I don't want to make too much of a joke about it, but it's just what an asshole
Yeah, it's it's super asshole stuff, but it's also about the terror. It's also extra marines of him. Yeah, it's
It's extra marines, but it's also about
Seeing a woman in complete and total pitch darkness in absolute terror in absolute
Misery and knowing that he caused it and that he was in complete and total control of this woman
And this is how and he also had a list of roles to be in complete and total control of this woman
On the opposite wall of the two way of the one-way mirror
There was a list of roles type all in caps. This is what it said
One I must always be ready to service my master. I must be clean brushed and made up with my cell neat
Two I must never speak unless spoken to unless in bed. I must never look my master in the eye
But must keep my eyes downcast
Three I must never show my disrespect either verbally or silent
I must never cross my arms or legs in front of my body or clench my fists and unless eating must always keep my lips
Parted. Number four. I must be obedient completely and in all things. I must obey immediately
And without question or comment. Number five. I must always be quiet when locked in my cell
Number six. I must remember and obey any additional rules told to me
I must understand that any disobedience any pain trouble or annoyance caused by me to my master
Will be grounds for punishment and that was about the only thing that these women had to stare at for
Days maybe even weeks. We don't know for sure how long these women were kept in this cell
Uh, we don't know how many videos were actually made. There are rumors that videos of these women's actual
Rape and murder were sold to a private erotica collector
But there's absolutely no proof that I know of to back that up
But considering how lake was in the habit of selling homemade tapes of cricket playing the part
Of his in ladies. It's not the most far-fetched concept around
Well, he seems like because he's been sharing their homemade porn for years. Yeah, right
They've been already doing this
So I feel like it would just go out there and there are a lot of people especially at time
Can you imagine having to go to a private erotic salesman to get this stuff? That's where the real
Old snuff stuff. That was the stuff that was like shown at like roblo's and charlie sheen's parties back in the 80s came from
Yeah, sure. And if you guys have ever seen these, I don't know if you've ever seen these but uh, you know, remember in twin peaks
the
The magazine that laura palmer and ronette pilaski place the ads in have you guys ever actually seen one of those
I got a truck stop magazine like truck stop personals or no these aren't these are swingers magazines
These are these back in the day where ads that swingers would put in and they would send naked pictures to other
Swingers they would send videos to other swingers
And that's the type of world that he was living in sure porno stores existed back then plenty of them
But these were people that got off on the grittiness of it. You know to this day
It isn't that was the old school amateur porn back then. That's how you got amateur porn
You had to make friends with the amateurs first
That's one thing I'll say thank you to the internet for yeah, because I love amateur porn
But I would definitely wouldn't make friends with an a linard and cricket to get some
Can you imagine them having to hang out? It's like I'm like having a weed dealer who like hangs out for 25 minutes
Just like talking about soccer like having to talk with them
I mean, yeah, definitely. You just want to smoke the weed
But I mean, I guess you can smoke weed with your drug dealer, but you can't exactly jerk off with your porn
Uh, you know smut peddler. I actually think you can yeah
He's like, yeah, you want to test the wares and well cricket just going like yeah aim for the wet hoe
Wait for the spot. She's dire eat next to the fireplace. Well, you know, maybe if that's the case
Snaggly tooth
Linard Lake after this after Kathleen Allen he returned to his journal which
He no longer hand wrote everything after Kathleen Allen. He started typing everything and this is what he typed
I've learned that my programming and my youth that which is called morality either was not given or was given poorly
To all purposes save a very few. I have no morality in terms of life or death neither seem to move me
Why is it the guys like this always have the same vocabulary?
They have the same cadence. They have the same
It's dickhead language. It's dickhead language. Exactly. It's it's a guy who couldn't go to be a cop language
Yes, exactly what it is. It's that military style too. They just believe they're superior to everybody else
It's condescending towards humanity
It's it's talking to yourself as if you are the only person in the world who can possibly understand your genius
Which is true and then those whole time charles england was just cooking in the kitchen
He was forced to cook most of the time. We'll talk about this
So lake in engs next and as far as we know
Last victims possibly be their most tragic and certainly their most cruel
Lonnie bond 27 Brenda O'Connor 19 and their infant son
Lonnie bond jr. Move to a house not 100 yards from Leonard lakes cabin in january of 1985
Leonard and the couple took an almost immediate dislike to each other lake introduced himself as
Charles gunner that charles and told them that he was a quote-unquote professional photographer
And he's just like hey, just let me know um
Did your baby have tits because that'd be great if your baby had tits
I'd really like to take pictures of a baby with tits
I don't know why they didn't get along. Hi, my name is skinny charles skinny charles interesting
Well as a gesture of goodwill when they first moved in he took some photos of them as a family like a nice little
It's like yeah, you know, I'm a professional photographer
I'll just take some candid photos of you guys just like hey, we're neighbors. Let's start off on the right
Our first thing boys girls. How about we switch tops, huh? Okay?
Okay. Okay. Okay. No switch pants. All right. Now that we made some money. Let's make some art
Terrifying
So less than a month after the family moved in lake had gone from the weird guy next door to a full-blown as bond put it
Quote real pain in the ass
Yeah, he's over there and his coochie cutters talking about how it's the end of the world
Then the cyanide tablets and how he's got like, you know, you got to come over the house and see his pornos with
His 16-year-old girl and it just like man this fucking guy's just not leaving this pot luck
He is a pain in the ass. He brought nothing. Yeah, he brought half a can of warm schlitz and of the three-year-old
cranberry sauce glid. I like the schlitz, but yeah
So not only did he constantly and this is somewhat ironic
He would constantly complain about bond's use of guns on his own property
For target practice because if we remember
Using guns was what got Leonard Lake kicked out of the idyllic ranch community in the first place
Buddhism they say that that which upset us about others is that which is most true about ourselves. Isn't that something?
powerful
Not only that but his requests for pictures were now directed towards brinda alone and we're getting
Super force weird. Why would that happen? That's weird
The other person involved in this whole scene was lawni's
And the other person involved in this whole scene was lawni bond's best friend scott staplie
Who is also the co-founder of the san diego chapter of the garden guardian angels?
Oh, yeah, that's a volunteer neighborhood watch type group that was started here in new york city in the 70s
The last time tough dudes wore berets. Mm-hmm
And it all came to a head in late april of 1985 from what we can piece together from comments made by lake and eng
During their subsequent video sessions with brinda o'connor
It appears that linard invited the couple their child and their friend scott over for dinner
And managed to separate brinda from the men and since the men were obviously a very real threat
And the baby was worse than useless to lake and eng it's thought that those three met relatively quick deaths, but
Evidence suggests that they were probably toyed with at least for a little while before they were actually killed
Well, they said about paul and i'm sure happened the same thing to these two men
Is that paul had a gun stuck in his mouth when they found him and his teeth are all broken?
Yeah, by the barrel of the gun. Oh, well what they found with these men
They found that they had both had
Ball gags in their mouths
And their wrists and their ankles were bound and there was obvious with them
They had tried to struggle quite hard of course, but they it was there was obvious evidence of them trying to get free
And they have both been shot in the head. You gotta follow the ball gag
What there's a store running out of ballgags
Follow the ball how many ballgags do these people have that's true. No, they were making their own ball. They were making the ball
Gags. Yeah, that's how you do. You know, they went to the eldorados and you just buy a ballgag
No, how many times you walk around looking for a ballgag? But hey, I don't do it that often
I'm just saying oh, they're making homemade ballgags. He's a truly free man, man. They're indie
I'm just saying it's diy
Check the receipts for the ballgags
So concerning the baby now, we know that the two men were killed with shots to the head
Concerning the baby
Charles Ng would later say that Leonard Lake
Killed Lonnie Bond jr. By putting the baby's head between his thighs
And twisting the upper body and this was at Charles request who wanted it done quickly
Ng also said that the men were actually shot by Lake in their own home while Brenda was out shopping
The context clues from various sources point towards Ng
murdering
Everyone except Scott Stapley and the next time anyone saw Brenda
She was tied to the same chair that Kathy Allen was tied to months or even weeks before
And this is the video that you'll see when when you look up Leonard Lake Charles Ng videos if you do if you're a monster
Look, I am and you see a bare-chested Leonard Lake with his beer gut hanging over his pants
And he's cutting the clothes off of her with the scissor
Yeah, and Lake spends a fair amount of time teasing about whether Brenda's family is dead or alive
The same thing he did with Kathy Allen
And most of what he talks about is just I mean, it's just absolute nonsense
Uh, and he tells Brenda that her baby is going to be given away to a family in Fresno
But I think that these statements that he makes I think they're he he's being confusing and kind of obtuse on
On purpose. He wants her to be confused. He wants her to be completely disoriented
It's telling her because there's somebody who's saying up to this point
She's been struggling it's saying whatever he could say to her to get her to stop struggling so that he it will be easier for him
To get her into the other room. Yeah, that's just all he's doing. He's just throwing out nonsense
He's just saying whatever it was to get her to shut up. Yeah, exactly horrible. Yeah
And this is when Lake told her what he actually had in store for her Brenda. You have a choice
We'll give it to you right now
You can cooperate with us by cooperating with us. That means you will stay here as our prisoner
You will work for us. You will wash for us. It will fuck for us
Or you can say no, I don't want to do that
In which case we'll tie you to the bed. We'll rape you then we'll take you outside and shoot you your choice
Of course, this woman is absolutely terrified. She's as far as she knows
Her baby and her husband's life is on the line and she says I'll cooperate
Uh, and later on when charles in comes into the scene
He says you can cry and stuff wreck the rest of them, but it won't do you no good. That's for sure
You're pretty. Hey, could hurt it. So to speak
I don't joke around before I do bad things because it's only when I did the moving things
I joke around about what I bring to friendship. You want jennison chicken
charles in may general sales chicken for the for the woman
In in this scenario
In this scenario to try to lighten the horrible. Oh, I see. Oh, we've been talking about for like the last 10 minutes or so
It's hard to do the charles in voice seriously. It's hard to do the charles in voice seriously
But I felt that it was important to include that statement
I think so too because he was a part of it. He was a part of it and what this also implies
Is when he says you can cry and stuff like the rest of them that implies
Rest of them implies done this much that they've done this a lot that it wasn't just kathy allen that kathy allen
That there was a lot of other victims and when we cover the trial
This is how charles in is trying to downplay his role and everything
But this is basically what puts him in jail forever
Yeah, this is I mean one of a few things that put him in jail, but really what puts charles in jail more than anything else is
Defending himself on the stand
We can't wait
Wait until the testimony of charles in it's everything he's ever done
Everything he's ever done is supposed to have put him in jail and the way he's just not
Oh, he's not a slick customer. Are we saving everything else for part four? That's part four, man. Oh, all right. Is that the end of part three?
Absolutely, I can't take any more. There's no more. I can't take any more. Absolutely not, but it almost it almost is
Oh my goodness, and you know, we don't know exactly how long brinda was held captive for
But we do know that it was at least two months between her capture
and the capture of linard lake and charles
In and that is the end of part three
We'll be back on the next episode good lord with their capture
linard lake how he responds to capture and how charles ing responds to capture. All right. I'll tell you what he's loud
Yeah, terrible stuff. Yeah, this is a heavy way to bring in 2016. Yeah. Yeah, you know, we gotta yeah
