- This week Steph is covering a story of horrific proportions, yet again
- Rodney Alcala, used peoples vanity and sense of self worth, to manipulate them into situations where he could do what ever he wanted with them before taking their lives.
- Rodney, was a handsome man who could sweet talk both males and females into anything.
- His ruse as a professional photographer, was every parents worst nightmare.
- The number of victims will probably never be known,
- so sit back and have a listen and make sure that you have a look at the extra reading and photographs section, there are a heap of photos that are yet to be identified in this case and police believe that they may be victims of his terrible crimes.
