In March 2010 the New York Police Department released 120 photos taken in the 60s and 70s by Rodney Alcala. Alcala graduated from the UCLA School of Fine Arts and studied film under Roman Polanski at the New York University. As a convicted rapist and murderer, Alcala is currently on death row in California. To this day it still unclear how many persons he killed. Estimates range between 7 and 130.
In the midst of his murder spree he had an appearance in the American TV show The Dating Game.US media therefore labeled him “The Dating Game Killer”. Police released these images hoping to get additional information on the identities of the shown persons and if these persons are missing.
So what these images might show is the gaze of a serial killer on his victims.
