In the 1960’s thriller, The Collector, “Freddy Clegg” kidnaps a woman and holds her hostage just to have her there. Just like “Freddie,” Leonard Lake sought attention and affection from countless women, many of whom rejected him coldly. Inspired by events in The Collector, he sets off on a blood curdling adventure with his partner-in-crime Charles Ng. The pair build a bunker, in which almost two-dozen women would be held with their fates in his hands. The chilling and astounding series of events that followed became one of the most infamous copycat crimes in California.
