Lonnie Wayne Bond Sr., 27, was murdered on April 19, 1985, in Wilseyville, California, as part of the crimes committed from a remote cabin by Leonard Lake and Charles Ng. Bond Sr. lived with his girlfriend, Brenda Sue O’Connor, and their one-year-old son, Lonnie Wayne Bond Jr. The three were abducted from the home along with family friend Robin Scott Stapley.

Remains tied to the cabin were recovered in shallow graves and investigators found more than 40 pounds of burned and crushed human bone fragments at the scene. Lake and Ng were arrested after being caught shoplifting in June 1985; Lake died days later after ingesting cyanide and Ng was arrested in Calgary and later extradited to California. Ng was convicted of capital murder in connection with these killings.

Identification work on the recovered remains has continued for decades. In 2025 Brenda Sue O’Connor’s remains were identified and returned to family, while the remains of Lonnie Bond Jr. have not been found. Does anyone have information about the Bond family’s last known movements or the Wilseyville cabin area in April 1985?
