Summary

Rodney Alcala was an American serial killer and sex offender who was sentenced to death in California for multiple murders. Alcala has been conclusively linked to eight murders, but authorities suspect he could have killed over 100 people during his travels around the country.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the infamous serial killer Rodney Alacala. In part one, we’ll cover Alcala’s early life, his known crimes in the late ‘60s and ‘70s, and how sentencing laws at the time allowed him to continue preying on vulnerable young women and girls.
