Rodney James Alcala had been sentenced to death in 2010. Authorities say he might have dozens of victims.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A prolific serial torture-slayer dubbed “The Dating Game Killer” died Saturday while awaiting execution in California, authorities said. Rodney James Alcala was 77.
Alcala received an additional 25 years to life in 2013 after pleading guilty to two homicides in New York. Prosecutors said Alcala stalked women like prey and took earrings as trophies from some of his victims. But Alcala claimed that the earrings were his and that a video clip from his 1978 appearance on “The Dating Game” shows him wearing the studs nearly a year before Samsoe died. He denied the slayings and cited inconsistencies in witness’ accounts and descriptions.
Investigators said one victim’s DNA was found on a rose-shaped earring in Alcala’s possession, and his DNA was found in her body.
