Rodney Alcala was a contestant who earned a date on the TV show The Dating Game in 1978, despite being a convicted rapist, registered sex offender and under investigation for multiple murders. Thankfully, his date sensed something was off about the overly sly and dominant Alcala, and she passed on the date. With estimates that run as high as 130 victims, Alcala had a ruthless spree of murder, rape and sexual assault in the 1970s. Posing as a photographer, he would lure young women by asking them to model before brutally killing them. During the investigation, authorities in Seattle discovered a rented storage locker with more than 900 photographs taken by Alcala. Authorities are still connecting Alcala to cold cases through 120 photographs that were made public (most are too graphic for public release) after his 2010 conviction. Since then, 21 missing women have been accounted for through the online database. Crime author and radio show host Alan Warren takes viewers on a journey through the case, the public photographs and how they are still being linked to previously unsolved murders.
