20/20: The Dating Game Killer was an episode of the long-running news magazine program focusing on Rodney Alcala, a notorious serial killer; where in the 1970s, he makes a winning appearance as a contestant on a popular dating show in the midst of his killing spree.
Plot[]
When The Dating Game host Jim Lange introduce Rodney Alcala as bachelor Number One, a successful photographer, he didn't know that the man had already murdered at least five women and been charged with the attempted murder of a little girl.
Alcala has since been convicted of killing seven women in the 1970s. He was charged with murder for the first time in 1979 for the death of 12-year-old Robin Samsoe, who disappeared in June that year on her way to a ballet studio. Her remains were found nearly two weeks later in the San Gabriel Mountains north of Los Angeles.
