Hey y'all, welcome to Killer Queens, a true crime podcast. I'm your host, Tarela, and like most

millennials, I've always had an obsession with true crime. On KQ, you'll find light true crime

stories, millennial hypes and gripes, some adult language, and maybe a special guest here

and there. Just like a 90s sleepover,

we're just a couple BFFs hanging out. So gather around and let's launch right into it.

In September of 1978, Rodney Alcala won the date with Cheryl Bradshaw on the popular show,

The Dating Game. It was said that his charm and use of innuendo ultimately got him the win.

It was also said that this alleged charm was what enabled him to rape and murder at least eight women.

It's believed, though, that he may have killed over 100 women in the 1970s.

We do have some trigger warnings here.

Murder by strangulation, blunt force of child and adult, sexual assault of child and adult.

Also, just like, gross, yucky, ew.

Dudes. And I want to give a hey girl thanks to Beth for writing this one up. Thank you.

And thanks to Elizabeth Decker and Bailey Decker. Are you guys like related for requesting this?

Thank you. There is a movie that was recently released on Netflix

based on this case, Anna Kendrick, I believe, produced it, and I know she directed it,

and she acted in it. We will talk about that movie more toward the end. I'm going to kind of

go into that movie in a little bit more detail at the end. I'm going to kind of go into that movie in a little bit more

detail at the end. I thought it was a great movie if you want to watch it. But I'll tie into that

in a little bit. First, we're just going to go over the case itself. Rodney Alcala was born

Rodrigo Jacques Alcala Bulkour.

I'm Southern, sorry.
