Calaveras County task force identifies victim of serial killers 40 years later

The Calaveras County Cold Case Task Force has identified Reginald Frisby, whose remains were found in 1985. This marks the oldest unidentified remains the task force has named, linked to serial killers Charles Ng and Leonard Lake. Frisby's identification followed DNA analysis efforts in 2022 and 2024. A private lab in Utah helped locate his mother, who had not heard from him in over 40 years, confirming he was a victim, not a runaway. The task force has spent over $200,000 on DNA testing through donations. They hold annual fundraisers to support their work in solving cold cases and providing closure to families.
