Rodney Alcala was a charming photographer, a smooth talker, and a contestant on The Dating Game—but behind his confident facade lurked a sadistic serial killer. Believed to have murdered at least eight people (and possibly over 100), Alcala used his wit and charm to lure his victims, all while evading authorities for decades.

In this episode of Twisted Truths, Dariel, Nia, and Riley unravel Alcala’s dark double life, from his disturbing early crimes to his shocking TV appearance in 1978—right in the middle of his killing spree. We also share insights from Tali Shapiro, one of the few survivors who escaped his grasp, and discuss the haunting collection of photographs that may hold the key to even more unsolved cases.

How did Alcala manage to fool the world for so long? And could some of his victims still remain unidentified? Tune in as we uncover the twisted truths behind The Dating Game Killer.
