This is Rodney Alcala. He's also known as the "Dating Game Serial Killer". In 1979 he was convicted of killing 4 women and one 12 year old girl, but there were hundreds of photos taken of women and children found in his studio that have yet to be identified. This is similar to the investigation that we are conducting here in Palm Springs. Police have asked us for our help in getting the word out to the public to see if anyone knows any of the people and children depicted in these photos. It could seriously help the prosecutors in his case find missing people and identify them.
Please take a look and if anyone looks familiar, I have put the police contact information below.
Stopping the crime of stalking is everyone's responsiblity.
