Intermountain Forensics (IMF) is honored to join our partners, the Calaveras Cold Case Task Force and Identifinders International, to announce that the body of a young man found in June of 1985 during the investigation of a crime scene associated with the Wilseyville Serial Killings has been confirmed to be that of Reginald “Reggie” Frisby.
The details of Reggie’s disappearance and death are still uncertain at this time. However, we do know that Reginald Frisby was born in 1956 in New York and had never been reported missing nor was he previously considered to be a potential victim or associated with the Wilseyville Serial Killer case.
According to the Calaveras Cold Case Task Force, “The Wilseyville Serial Killings were committed in the mid-1980’s by a duo of killers. Of the two killers, Charles Ng was convicted of 11 counts of murder, and Leonard Lake committed suicide upon his capture. The Wilseyville Serial Killings left numerous victims, including whole families, whose remains were never identified. Over 1,000 pieces of human bone fragments and teeth were discovered at the scene of these horrific crimes.”
This case is a good example of determination by a group of individuals across multiple agencies working together to find resolution for victims of cold cases. We are grateful for the trust and cooperation given to our laboratory by our partners in their efforts to continue to provide names to the individuals that have been victims of these terrible crimes. Intermountain Forensics extends our heartfelt condolences to Reggie’s family, friends and loved ones.
