This weeks episode is the concluding part to the truly terrifying case of Rodney Alcala, an American sex offender & serial killer who was charged with murdering 5 young girls & women between 1968-1979. He was also later charged with an additional 3 more murders whilst on death row, & is suspected to be responsible for up to 100 other murders. If you haven't listened to part one go back an episode to 16 so todays episode makes sense. Here we discuss how deviant narcissist Alcala has the audacity to appear on a famous tv show 'The Dating Game' having already killed at least 5 women at that point whilst also hunting the streets of Los Angeles & New York for other innocent victims.
Only when the shocking murder of 12 year old Robin Samsoe leads law enforcement directly to Alcala's door is this dangerous predator finally stopped in his tracks. They uncover a treasure trove of evidence belonging to his victims in a storage locker, or 'trophies' as they're widely referred to in true crime terms.
Even more shockingly they discover a cache of thousands of pictures taken by phoney photographer Alcala, all depicting unidentified women and many in very compromising positions.
