Description

Rodney Alcala was charming, intelligent… and also one of the most sadistic serial killers in American history. (Dramatized in Anna Kendrick's "Woman of the Hour" on Netlix.) Melanie Avalon and Scott Emmens take you deep into the horrifying double life of the so-called “Dating Game Killer,” who once won appeared on national television, in the middle of his murder spree. From his early run-ins with the law and manipulative behavior, to the mind-bending moment he represented himself in court (and questioned himself in third person), this episode unravels the twisted tale of a predator who eluded justice for far too long. With over 1000 hidden photographs of women and children and possibly over 100 victims, the story of Rodney Alcala is more disturbing than fiction. (How did a man this dangerous get away with everything for so long?)
