On this episode, Kenzie and Ame discuss the 20/20 episode on The Dating Game Killer. Rodney Alcala was a trained photographer by day, and a remorseless killer by night. Murdering women on both the east and west coasts of the United States during the hay day of serial killers (the 70's), Rodney was able to evade police for more than 10 years. Having an alias he used to gain access to places like NYU, coupled with the lack of background checks at the time, Alcala's ego was stroked so much that he even appeared on the ever popular tv show "The Dating Game" - and won. It seemed as though he could not lose. That was until he met Robin Samsoe, a 12 year old girl whose disappearance would land him in prison and lead police to discover many other crimes he had committed that would have otherwise been left unsolved.
