The Dating Game Killer: The True Story of a TV Dating Show, a Violent Sociopath, and a Series of Brutal Murders by Stella Sands

dark informative slow-paced

4.0

 This book was on the reading list for The Last Podcast on the Left. I learned quite a bit about Rodney Alcala from that episode, but this book was exceptionally informative. Until recently, I didn't know a lot about Alcala, other than he appeared on a dating game show and the girl did not end up going out with him. It's nice to see someone that pays attention to their red flag radar. This guy was a real piece of work. He had been in trouble several times, and somehow managed to slip around and get up to shenanagins unhindered. It is amazing to me how people slip through the cracks and manage to wreck so many people's lives. This guy had some real audacity. At the time of this writing, he was still alive on Death Row, but has since died. No great loss there.
