For most people, September 13, 1978 would have been an ordinary Wednesday.

But not for Cheryl Bradshaw, the bachelorette on the TV matchmaking show The Dating Game, for her that day was momentous. From a lineup of “eligible bachelors,” she chose handsome bachelor number one, Rodney Alcala.

He offered her a date she’d never forget, but Bradshaw got the feeling that her handsome potential suitor was a little off. Good for her because at that very moment, Rodney Alcala was keeping a deadly secret: he was a vicious murderer soon to be known as “The Dating Game Killer.”

Just who was this guy?

Join us as we delve into the chilling details of Alcala's crimes and the shocking twists that make this case one of the most sinister in true crime history.
