Description

The true crime story of the California serial killer who won a date on the 1970s TV show The Dating Game during his killing spree.

The real story behind the Anna Kendrick Netflix film Woman of the Hour

In 1978, Rodney Alcala was a contestant on The Dating Game, one of America's most popular television shows at the time. Handsome, successful, and romantic, he was embraced by the audience -- and chosen as the winner by the beautiful bachelorette. To viewers across the country, Rodney seemed like the answer to every woman's dreams. Until they learned the truth about his once and future crimes...
Ten years before his TV appearance, Rodney was charged with the sexual assault and attempted murder of an eight-year-old girl. In the decades that followed, he would be accused of seven murders -- and, as new DNA evidence continues to be uncovered, the list may grow. The case is so disturbing that it's been documented in several news outlets, from People magazine and USA Today to 48 Hours Mystery and Dr. Phil. The Dating Game Killer is the shocking true story about the dark and twisted man.

"Ms. Sands presents the crimes and evidence with professional skill and objectivity... A must read!" -- Steve Hodel, New York Times bestselling true-crime author, Black Dahlia Avenger: A Genius for Murder, Detective Supervisor, LAPD Hollywood Homicide Division
