The subject of the interview is why did Alcala end up Alcala.

Books

Stella Sands, The Dating Game Killer: The True Story of A TV Dating Show, A Violent Sociopath and A Series of Brutal Murders (St. Martin’s True Crime, 2011) There are several books on Alcala, but as far as I can tell this one is the only one published by a known publishing house, as opposed to self-published.
