Rodney Alcala, better known as The Dating Game Killer, was a sadistic predator hiding in plain sight. In the 1970s, he posed as a photographer to lure victims, committing a series of brutal murders across the U.S. Incredibly, in 1978—while still on his killing spree—he appeared on The Dating Game… and won. But behind his charming facade lurked a monster.
Join Tom, Ben, and Dan as they dive into one of the most chilling true crime cases of all time, uncovering Alcala’s disturbing crimes, his twisted psychology, and how he was finally caught.
