He was on the yearbook planning committee and the track and cross-country teams. Alcala attended various private schools during his youth before graduating from Montebello High School. Alcala was an academically gifted student who was reasonably popular amongst his peers and was supported by his family. In 1954, when Alcala was 11-years-old, his mother moved him and his two sisters to suburban Los Angeles. In 1951, Alcala's father moved the family to Mexico, then abandoned them three years later. Rodney Alcala was born in San Antonio, Texas, the third of four children born to a Mexican-American couple, Raul Alcala Buquor (Aug– January 8, 1962) and Anna Maria Gutierrez (Janu– February 18, 1999). Alcala is often referred to as The Dating Game Killer because of his 1978 appearance on the television show The Dating Game in the midst of his murder spree. One police detective described Alcala as "a killing machine," and others have compared him to Ted Bundy. Prosecutors have said 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. Alcala is known to have assaulted one other photographic subject, and police have speculated that others could be rape or murder victims as well. In 2016, he was charged with the 1977 murder of a woman identified in one of his photos. Īlcala compiled a collection of more than 1,000 photographs of women, teenage girls, and boys, many in sexually explicit poses. While he has been conclusively linked to eight murders, Alcala's true number of victims remains unknown and could be much higher – authorities believe the actual number is as high as 130. He was sentenced to death for five murders committed in the state between 19, and received an additional sentence of 25 years to life after pleading guilty to two homicides committed in New York in 19.
