***Rodney James Alcala (born Rodrigo Jacques Alcala Buquor; August 23, 1943) is a convicted rapist and serial killer. He was sentenced to death in California in 2010 for five murders committed in that state between 1977 and 1979.[1] In 2013 he received an additional sentence of 25 years to life after pleading guilty to two homicides in New York in 1971 and 1977.[5] His true victim count remains unknown, and could be much higher.[6][7][8] Prosecutors say that Alcala "toyed" with his victims, strangling them until they lost consciousness, then waiting until they revived, sometimes repeating this process several times before finally killing them.[9][10]
***
***He is sometimes labeled the "Dating Game Killer" because of his 1978 appearance on the television show The Dating Game in the midst of his murder spree.[11] Police discovered a collection of more than 1,000 photographs taken by Alcala, mostly of women and teenaged boys, most of them in sexually explicit poses. They speculate that some of his photographic subjects could be additional victims.[9]
***
***One police detective called Alcala "a killing machine"[12] and others have compared him to Ted Bundy.[13] A homicide investigator familiar with the evidence speculates that he could have murdered as many as 50 women,[7] while other estimates have run as high as 130.[3

**It's old news...I heard about the "Dating Game Killer" long ago.
**The girl who picked him on that show luckily got away from him and refused to date him because she said he was "creepy".
**He reportedly killed several more women after she rejected him.

**Thank God for prisons where we can look at some of these truly evil people and not have to worry about them harming anyone else.

As far as I know, Hollywood never bothered to make anything from it.
