CBS aired a 48 Hours Mystery special on the rapist/serial killer Rodney Alcala Saturday September 25, 2010 and you can watch the replay online below.
This was the last “48 Hours” report done by the late Harold Dow, a CBS “48 Hours” correspondent for 22 years, ever since the show “48 Hours” has been on TV.
Dow spent more than a year on the story of California rapist and serial killer, Rodney Alcala, he was set on bringing this tale to the viewers and was finishing up the story when he passed away suddenly on August 21, 2010.
Alcala was a charismatic, good looking, photographer who was able to seduce beautiful young women by taking their photos and later raping and murdering them (Alcala was convicted of 4 murders in California). There was a photo album of Alcala’s that was found by investigators and it contains the photos taken of young women and young boys in the 1970’s by Alcala, many are unidentified and investigators are looking to find more info on the the people in the photo album to see if they are still alive or were murder victims of Alcala.
He is also a suspect in at least two unsolved murders in New York. Authorities are comparing him to the late serial killer Ted Bundy, who was also an intelligent, handsome and charming womanizer that didn’t fit the typical image of a deranged lunatic. Alcala was also on the popular TV show The Dating Game and won a date with bachelorette Cheryl Bradshaw.
