It's 1978, and Ron Jenkins, a detective with the Huntington police department, suddenly straightens up on his couch at home, unable to look away from the TV. The popular "Dating Game" is on, where a young bachelorette, Cheryl Bradshaw, is blind dating 3 men, and Bachelor no. 1 is terrifyingly familiar to Detective Jenkins. That same afternoon, a parole officer called him to identify a suspected serial killer from a sketch, giving him a name: Rodney Alcala-that man is the same one who's on TV now, winning the show. However, the Dating Game Killer has no idea that his 8 year old victim from years ago is actually alive, and that she will be the one to ultimately take him down.

Please reconsider getting sponsorships from BetterHelp. They're notorious for their awful practices and that's putting it mildly.
Better Help is a shitty unethical company.
the victims you talk about would be ashamed to know you accept money from better help, people who do more harm to victims then help
Stop putting predators back on the streets!
Yes
california led the way for the rest of the country it seems. that pos lived several decades longer than he should have
Exactly; how hard can that be?! Just keep them inside and away from our kids!
@@EttBättreSverigeNUreally its as simple as that
They're still doing it. 😢 "Early release" has become such a bad habit in our justice system.
The quote “ when evil touches you it changes you but will never own you “ is awesome
Around 1999 i had talking my 2,yr son to enjoy the beach a man came up to me and said he was a photographer and post picture for vacation magazine around the world and that he already took the photos of me my son and aak was ok he used my photo and he would need a signature to use the photos i already thought it was wierd so i told him yes go ahead i signed a fake name there were ppl around so i wasn't scared but i did stay very aware if my surroundings i was only 24 and though i was smart enough to not further engage with him i was nieve and wondered if he was telling the Truth i also asked if i could see the photo he said its on film so i couldn't he didn't try to get me to see pictures at later time etc but he might ask for my phone number he could contact me later to see them think he wanted address and phone number but i wouldn't give that information realize now i should called police Rhode Island
Thank God it's true ❤
Told by someone who totally lacked all kind of empathy for anyone else and totally allowed evil to own her...
Sometimes you become worst than the evil
I'm a slave to the evil that touched me 😈
I blame the first judge. Even if the EIGHT YEAR OLD didn’t want to testify there’s an office who caught him in the act and a witness who saw him go into the house with the child. What more evidence do you need???? The justice system will faster give someone 100 years in prison for fraud than someone who violently attacks the most vulnerable, woman and children. It’s disgusting
Think of the teenagers sent to prison for years and years for a joint. They are still inside and killers are released for" good behavior "????? Messed up is not the word!!!
Our judicial system is all messed up. It does not make sense. Please be careful with your children!
Yep, if you upset the government you spend a lot of time. When the people hurt eachother it doesn't bother them that much, it seems.
That were my thoughts too. There was enough evidence, even without the girls testify !!!
Yup
Morgan's friend saved her life. He was a strong, brave young man.
Not brave enough.
@@TheAkvamarin8wym
@@TheAkvamarin8 why not? he literally broke a window to get in the room and save her
Wasn't Morgan's friend a girl
@@yennefer440she had 2 friends
Why do judges let sex offenders go? It’s like they have sympathy for them.
Because they're all predators also
Birds of the same feather i guess.
Exactly.
Yes yes yes@@JessyFinch
They may be doing evil things too.
Man, bless that good Samaritan who just felt something wasn't right and took initiative. And bless that officer who chose to break protocol to save a young girl's life.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😁 37:12. ! .
Yes but then more girls were killed, why didn't more police come n y didn't the nan help himself not wait 4 police or come with police n help girl while police chases that beast but ofcourse its no1s fault n amazing sad words dat it changes u but never owns u, n yes sadly for giv tax money u get more sentemces than the worst sin murder but u naw hu is helping dem n he is whete he deserves while the beautiful innocent pure girls r home in heaven with Jesus 🙏
@@VV-hb7uj The "samaritan" feared he may have had a weapon which would have doomed him and the little girl. It's amazing the Policeman got there in time to save her. Other more mature females, were entranced by his looks and his affable-appearing attention. I think this is partially due to the manner in which women in our society are conditioned. Thank God, that the woman on the TV show had the clarity to recognize his evil.
5:47 awe, just the simple act of her dad taping a dime in her shoes so she could reach him by payphone at any time is so sweet and beautiful that it makes me want to cry. These are the Daddy's children need. Not best friends, loving protectors. My heart❤
its smart people looking out for there kid
Yet she still didn't call him and ended up in a mess
And, she didn't use it
@@oceanrose129Exactly.
She was a small child. I don't think he ever thought the dime would need to be used in that type of situation. Fear must make your mind blank at times.
the fact that Morgan is crying all these years later about this case, shows how much it affected her
It also shows how much more seriously these crimes should be taken. The trauma you experience during these moments are truly devastating and long lasting. Something happened to me at 5 yo and then again at 14 yo, I’m now 30 and these things pop up in my head randomly and still hurts me til this day. My outlook towards men is very tainted and people just do not understand. The penalty on these things should be higher!
I am so heartbroken for this sweet lady.
It also shows a life of a teenager
@@pippa3150now how will you know that she is sweet outside of this experience?
@David-028 what is that supposed to mean?
I was impressed that the young woman who chose him on the Dating Game show could tell that he was a creep. Her red flags were flying high. It makes me wonder how he even got on the show if he made her feel that uncomfortable that quickly. Thank God she listened to her gut. It saved her life.
It's a strange feeling. I encountered a serial grapist who tried to get me to follow him when I was waiting for my friends at the theater. I was 15 years old and he must've been like 30-something. I took my phone and called my friend and he walked away. And while I was talking to my friend, I saw him turn to look at me a few times. I knew something wasn't right with him when he was talking to me, his eyes were creepy, like his pupils seemed large and cold. His smiles didn't brighten his eyes.
Anyway, not long after that encounter, I saw an article linked on FB talking about a weirdo who hung aroung highschool and college, and who kept trying to pick up girls. And soon after there were a few reports of girls who had been SA'd. They found the guy and arrested him. And I recognized his photo in the news. I'm 29 now, and the feeling I felt when he talked to me has stuck with me. It's something you can never forget. Instinct is such a powerful thing.
He wasn't gone kill her on the show dummy
@@tabithajones7189 DUMMY - why denigrate as OBVIOUSLY it would have been LATER when she went OUT with him. So who is the DUMMY "dummy"!
@@tabithajones7189 The show sends them out on a date, he could have easily gotten her then or, if they remained talking after the date, gotten her at any other time.
He did NOT murder the woman that picked him on the Dating Game. Matter of fact... SHE WOULD NOT GO WITH HIM ON THAT DATE . SHE SAID HE WAS SUPER CREEPY ! It saved her life probably. 😵
I wish more people had a friend like Mike 😢
Truly a hero and a good person, I hope they kept in touch and stayed friends.
💖💖💖
@@gravewine i hope she still in contact with Mime. Friends like him are rare these days.
TRUE ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
100% everyone should hav a friend like that
Darling Morgan…please do not blame yourself…you were a frightened young girl, practically a child, yourself!
It’s ALL ON HIM!!
I pray you’re well and healing daily.
My heart goes out to you and all the victims of such horrific crimes. 💖
I agree! Sweet Morgan, it is NOT YOUR FAULT! You were just a scared young girl trying to survive yourself! I hope you find peace. I am so sorry for all you have been through. We are all glad you're still here. Be well, lovely Morgan. 💔❤️🩹💝
I found it so precious how she told her she wanted to hold her for so many years and asked if she could. How well I can understand that. Heartwrenching.
I dont know but if she arrested him all these girls n woman would be here today a spade is a spade
@LondiweMtshali-yy5kf he would have been let out and still done it anyways.
right
The good samaritan, Donald, is just a great man. He could see through the killer's facade and he did something about it. So many people would have minded their own business, but because of him a life was spared. Seeing him cry with happiness that he managed to save her really hit me hard and I hope he has a wonderful life.
The killer had the last laugh by dying of old age. What a terrible system.
No way, he'll answer to God for exactly what he did! He won't get away from God now will he..... only he won't be with God he'll be somewhere else that won't be so pleasant!
@@annalisas.7116Amen!
@@annalisas.7116Absolutely right about that! He's in HELL where he belongs, period! Iustitia Servitur!!
No, @propheteyebert7063, Our Heavenly Father and St. Michael The Archangel had the last laugh when Rodney James Alcala was thrust into HELL along with all the other evil spirits that prowled about the world whilst seeking the ruin of souls!
Yes...sickening..there was no justice for the victims
Thank you to those who pursued this til the end. NO CHILD OR ADULT SHOULD EVER EVER HAVE TO ENDURE THIS
I will always appreciate this channel’s focus on the victims. They are the ones that deserve to be remembered and not the monsters who hurt them.
Definitely, these events break my heart..
Yeah, but to then partner with better help, the company who hurts the most vulnerable amongst us and those who try to help them, I'm so dissapointed 😭
FACTS!!
What a stand up guy Mike is, he knew nothing of Morgan's past with Rod, yet he broke a window to see what was happening to her when she was nowhere to be seen in the house. Please dont leave your friends alone in a group, keep eyes on them all the time, unless they tell you they are voluntarily going with someone.
Even then, keep them in view. Stay with them.
@@chrisprzibilla4181I was just going say that. My sister does this. My older sister loved me
The man who had a bad gut feeling and decided to follow the car, saved that girl's life by acting on his feelings..
I would have a hard time still, seeing her walk in the house alive, fresh and fit and then a couple of moments later almost dead. I would have wished a 1000 times I had owned a gun, or just could have done anything sooner to stop it. It wouldn't have helped me. But I know it would haunt me.
💯 per cent. Listen to your intuition. It’s God talking to you.
Instinct, " gut feeling". The Holy spirit that warns us of things to avoid. 🙏🙋🏻♀️🇨🇦
Absolutely @@denisesciacca9271
@@131DaWn💯%.
I wish all young girls would see this and believe it’s indeed possible for this to happen! Morgan is lucky she is alive to talk about it. This is no exaggeration! No party, no guy, no friend, no group is worth dying for!
I was almost abducted at 9 years old. This was 1967.....He was young, cute, and driving a red convertible GTO.....I'm 66 today and it's still like yesterday. My sister and I were just one block from the house. It was a very busy neighborhood. This guy pulled us over to ask us if we knew where ROSE STREET was. .. I was not familiar with that street. As soon as I said I didn't know, he grabbed me....I probably weighed 75 pounds. I was just tiny. On top of that, I had stitches on the bottom of my foot, because I had stepped on a broken coke bottle...My little sister was with me, but I think she was too young for him. Thank God he didn't take my sister....but while he was trying to throw me in his car, I started SCREAMING! He couldn't handle that noise, so he dropped me. All the people on the street ran out of their home. A few tried to find the car. It was RED....but no one found it. I was NEVER SCARED. I knew God sent Angels to protect me. To this day, it's just amazing I got away. But I was a spunky kid. I'm one of 11 children....so that's probably why I was spunky!!!!! I feel so bad these women went thru this horror!!!!!!!
Where was this exactly maybe its a known child killer
I always have radios etc on because if I have quiet contemplative time my memories get so distressing. I prefer to not "work through them.". I think I'm a coward but I'm not sure i would come through it better than I am and I'm old.
where were god's angels when the other girls got killed? they were not worth the trouble for your god? there is no god
@@arrivagabryok what if they would’ve grown up and gone to hell but before they were Christian so they would die and go to heaven God always has a plan
@@taniagrey411 If god has a plan so explain to me why people pray, seems like he is the boss so praying serves nothing. The "god has a plan" theory is always convenient when there is no logical explanation, the usual god of the gaps
This channel is one of the only ones that consistently moves me to tears. Even for cases such as this one that im familiar with. I held it together till that old fella gave his testimony.
Same here.
This channel is an absolute gem compared to other true crime channels.
They don't edit it to be over dramatic and exaggerated for entertainment purposes, they don't crack insensitive jokes and they actually show respect to the victims and their families.
Thats a fact, these are precious children. ❤ my love goes out to all.
same. great pfp, by the way.
Yes, and I think it's because they focus on the victims on this channel where other ones are "the killer was born in this city, he had a troubled childhood, his home life was awful, he started committing petty crims as a teen, his love life was unsuccessful, he worked a dead end job, oh he also murdered 4 women but enough about that after his trial he spent his jail time learning about God and he found true love and got married in the jail 5 years later his wife is devoted to him and prays for his early release."
How did he only get 1 year when they had an unconscious, near death little girl and the Good Samaritan and police officer as witnesses?!
Sick, dirty judge.
They would rather keep people on the street and make it other peoples problems.
Freakin liberal California.
@Pam-dk8vq
California been a Republican state when everything happened so u can't say blame liberals. Do ur homework and get facts b4 posting so blame Republicans who controlled California til1999 when it became liberal when Clinton was running for president that's when California became a blue state.
Same... I can't understand how also...
I really appreciate how you handled this video, too many videos on Rodney focus solely on him. It’s refreshing (and heartbreaking) to hear the victims side for once.
I've noticed this is true of many well known serial killers.. Gacy, BTK, Dahmer- even notorious killers with a low count, like Luka Magnota. It is so important to remember the victims and not glorify the killer(s).
Not telling or calling parents is the saddest things these girls do.
Yeah, if she would have reported this ass clown that 8 year would have never become a victim
Agreed. As a mother you always sense when things are not right with your child and you just want to help them. ❤️
Nah... For me, it's the dumbest thing a person in need does.
More like the stupidest thing
The parents. Idiots
fuck those people who said that Alcala got an unfair trial. They're vile for being enablers of that monster
Their pedos
Mike is amazing. Everyone should be so lucky to have a friend like Mike❤
I have seen many, many videos pertaining to Alcala, but what you have done here today is stunningly brilliant, heartbreaking and perfectly presented. You have captured how and why the acts of Alcala will be a permanent wound as you took us all into the depths of hell that these heartbroken families faced. On a personal note, I don’t know how any one of these parents, siblings or friends have been able to survive from the suffering that this bastard had insisted on tormenting them over and over and over again. My heart goes out to everyone who had and will suffer from this bastard as he has left many, many other girls and women into the darkness and may they there be light shined upon them soon.
He and Ted Bundy share so many eerie similarities in their personalities and mannerisms. It gave me the chills how similar they are.
Most people that are like them as just as similar.
@@user56gghtfsame evil (familiar spirits)
And he looks like Richard Ramirez (the nightstalker)
He was actually smiling while arrested!!! My ex husband is the same way and women will be putty in his hands and not believe how evil and abusive he truly
Can be!
i thought he not only looked like richard ramirez aka the nightstalker but acted like him
Glad the woman on the dating game listened to her instinct and did not go out with the man who gave her the creeps.
There are so many monsters around us, it's the victims, survivors, and heros like Mike that give humanity hope. ❤️
I blame the first judge that only have him 1yr the first time
I can understand your point, but one important fact is that at that time the judges lacked of forensic evidences. Hence the 1 year sentence.
It was one year to life. He served 34 months. Problem was, there were no witnesses, so the prosecution had their hands tied. But I agree with you. This is heartbreaking.
I partly blame Morgan. She failed herself and Rod's victims for not stopping him much earlier when she had the chance.
@@ultraspinalki11 You shouldn't victim blame, especially children. There was also a cop who did nothing even though something clearly happend.
Not only the judge but that victim who was assaulted twice by him and she hadn't the courage to face it with her loser attitude. It could definitely save the other victims.
The mother has aged so gracefully, even after all she's been through! I pray for her and her family and that they can heal from this terrible tragedy, and being st peace knowing that Rodney Alcala will never hurt anyone else again, as he's not even on this planet anymore. Well, he may be somewhere else very hot...
I feel so terribly for her. She unfortunately passed away before she was able to see him be put to death.
Oh thats to bad really ? Thats sad her life was just torn ...😢up ..fcking bastard ..@@jennyng2994
Beautiful mama inside N out 💖 she's with her baby now 💫
After reading these comments I have hope that there are good meaning , empathetic people too in this world. Bless you'll all ❤
It's so sad that this woman still blames herself
She was a terrorized kid and he's a violent predator...😢
even lots of people in this comment section blame her...its just disgusting
..
its all part of evil turning everything upside down.. victim blaming.. is what the devil wants.. We need more Soul Kindness & Love.. not hate..
operation Mockingbird..
@@mgvanDuyn I get it, especially because she was so young, but I am against therapists and stuff that suggest not telling people. I get if you personally can't handle it. but people should tell, yes, to protect the next person. Obviously it is always the bad guys fault, not the victims, but people should support the telling of information that stops criminals.
The part with Robin and her mother made me fight back tears. That innocent girl, her whole life ahead and then taken away by that monster. Hope her family were somewhat able to heal from this. And I hope there is a hell for that "man" who destroyed so many families.
You don't have to hope, @hari04364. This monster IS in HELL where he belongs, period!
Still, today, women need to be taught to protect themselves and to feel their worth and to scream loudly when in the path of danger. I wonder if this first victim was afraid of her mother’s fragility or just afraid for her family finding out about what happened? Some women carry guilt and shame over other’s damaging behavior to them. Was she at a place where she knew that she shouldn’t be at her age? Did she feel that she would be blamed for the attack? She appeared to have little to no self-esteem. I hope that she’s received help & comfort and can teach others the dangers at our doorsteps.
Men need to get help and stop touching and harming women. We can be trained to know self defense. However, men need to control their emotions.
@@brittneyhailey Right, but they are so dumb to learn this
To the police officer who broke all protocol and the man who called them, God bless you!
After researching script-writing and editing, I can see your talent and hard work on this. It's so well done. And featuring real interviews and footage, not stock footage just to give visuals to support the narration. And no AI voice either. Great job.
finally somebody says it!
Oh my. I was completely unprepared to watch this. I’ve seen this case covered so many times but never like this. I am in absolute tears. Robins BEAUTIFUL mother broke my heart to pieces. And this is the first time I have ever heard the details of his last victims close call. It was HORRIFIC but such a beautiful thing to see good win in her case. God bless that man who trusted his instincts and followed them. We can protect each other and our children if we are vigilant in reminding these kinds of people that they WILL NOT be tolerated. Good riddance to the monster.
I know.,..
This is why it's so important that victims come forward if not for themselves but to save other children other women that will be victims to the monster
It is difficult for a child with huge trauma to testify, child victims should be better protected!
Yes childern should be better protected by their parents! Why was and 8 yr old allowed to roam around on the streets going dancing. I dont think taping a dime to a little girls shoe is much protection now is it?
That "man" was able to live 77 years.
Fn yikes and wowzers. 😢
I'm surprised some of the parents didn't take the law into their own hands, this is one time I wouldn't have blamed them!
*SUPER CRINGE*
@@k9maiden64So you want them to go to prison for taking the life of a criminal?
Did you think about the fact that these girls had siblings and loved ones who needed to be cared for as well?
Same thing came to my mind.. I was amazed how did he even lived so long and whyyy
Otherwise, rest of his crimes wouldn’t be discovered. Other victims waited him live long enough to have DNA tests done.
Compelling, heartfelt, sincere, and tasteful commentary, as always. Every time a new video comes out, I have to scroll through older videos to make sure I haven’t missed any, because they’re so well done!
Seen this one before and it's still interesting. This man went on a whole game show for dating. Like narcissistic psychopathic people have no limit to what they'll do. Always gives me chills when I see this one though! Literally went on a game show to pick his next victim. The charm that these people have is what just runs a cold shiver up my spine. Cheryl's instincts saved her life! oof!
wow! the amount of heroism and strength of the people involved in this case is just outstanding.
More mercy was shown to the serial killer than to the victims and their families.
Dont play a victim
Seeing all of these older people start to tear up when talking about something that happened more than a decade ago, is so gut ranching to see. Hearing that mom talk about her daughter all those years later, is a real tear jerker
40+ years ago
Why does it always take decades to carry out a death penalty execution? What are they busy with???
$$$$$
By the time he was sentenced bro was about to die any second
There are a plentitude of appeals that come with the death sentence.
Their busy avoiding (and making excuses) to not do their jobs…among other things as well 😒
Usually those on death row have appeals ongoing
I learned about rodney alcala through the documentary city of angels, city of death on hulu ( i really do recommend watching ). I have always looked for a documentary that goes more in depth with his attacks and how many he had. You explained it so well and really answered all of my questions , i never even knew about his first attack!! Thank you for always remembering and talking more about the lifes lost in the hands of this monster.. and to his survivors you are not victims but fighters ❤️
Netflix has a movie coming out about him soon. FYI
that friend who messaged her about the next victim is an angel
Her parents were profoundly negligent to allow these girls to go to anywhere alone at age 13 years old.
That was 70's culture,completely normal then.
And immature teenagers still took part (some with unfortunate consequences ).
We went everywhere back in the day. It was normal.
In my town alone there's several rumors that little girls are being kidnapped. Many parents didn't send their kids to school.
It was different times back then , the thought of human trafficking or this guy or anything of that nature was not so much main stream media like it is now
I would blame the girl for keeping silence like an idiot without calling her father. How dumb was she to pretty much just meet him on the road to end up in his bedroom even after that first experience.
I’ve seen coverage of this case many times over the years, but I cried throughout your entire presentation. Such heartfelt emotion and focus on the victims and survivors. Thank you for what you do.
This is one of the best videos I've ever watch with such a great story telling and material.
i mean all his video is great
This… is one of the BEST documentaries I have ever seen, hands down! EXCELLENT work, UNSEEN- full props to you and your team!
This was not fair or deserved at all. That man had been doing those wicked things for years and because of the corrupt judges, he lived a life longer than the victims could. I’m glad the victim and their families got justice, but the justice was served way too late.
All of this in a country where people of a different color are executed by the hundreds, WITHOUT ANY EYE WITNESS OR FORENSIC EVIDENCE.
No... In this world it looks like he got away with it, but not the eternal world of Hell! If he did not repent it is all over for him!
why give him deadpenalty and have him wait for over 40 years and then he dies by himself instead ??? thats so stupid ..
yeah death penalty is stupid in america, you don't wait 40 years, I'll give you 10 just in case you were wrongly convicted but 40 is ridiculous
He shouldn't have been allowed to appeal the 3rd time 😮how is it justice if the family has to go through it all over again and the courts must know that he's just doing it for kicks 😮🤬🤬🤬
This episode was amazing for highlighting the victims, their pain, innocence, and their bravery. I'm sitting here with tears on my face. My deepest gratitude to all the people who look out for children like the friend Mike, like the salesman and the police officer. Please if you see something and it doesn't feel right, say something. You could save a life, you could save a child and her/his family from a lifetime of grief. You could help stop evil from taking more victims. See something, say something. Please.
I was 18 when I went to LA in 1977.
I didn’t understand why my Father was so adamant about me coming back home to Texas until I started watching these stories about Ted Bundy, the Hillside Stranglers and Rodney Alcala.
CA is full of crazies and it has become so much worse!
Did you go back? I'm from California and since I was a child, I wanted to live in Texas. I think it was because my aunties watched the series Dallas and I wanted to live around cowboys.
Yeah cos Texas is soo much safer. NOT!
Once I noticed him, I would have called the cops. That monster should have been locked up years ago. Shame on the court system for releasing him back into society.
One of the fastest growing channels I’ve seen. Well deserved. Thank you for highlighting the survivors.
this account never fails to make me get the chills… prayers out to all those lost to this disgusting monster
The voice, storytelling, video, timeline. This channel is so good.
I`ve watched hundreds of real crime stories but this was the 1st one to make me cry . (I`m a 61 year old male )
0:40 not even a minute into this and I’m completely shocked
Fr 😭👌
such a sick, twisted, monster! it is incredible how the justice system helped him right along. the silver lining of this mess is that some extraordinary humans stepped up and saved who they could and avenged those who couldn't be saved.
I was hesitant to watch this because I already know this case but I'm glad I did. This channel brings a lot of bits from many places to give us the best comprehensive stories. Thank you and RIP all the victims. Alcala should have been punished way earlier than he actually did, so many young women would have been saved.
Why let monsters like this free, look how many victims he killed and hurt . I pray for those surviving victims, they strong, they are heroes. It's the first time I hear of this story, thank you for telling their story
Morgan and Tali. You are such brave, beautiful women. I am so sorry for all you have been through. But I am glad you've found each other and that you each had such wonderful heroes in your life. I hope life grants you peace and that you never forget you are loved. 💝💝💝
i felt so frustrated that justice failed so many of these girls over and over again, he killed so many of them after being released. Absolutely heartbreaking
NEVER IGNORE YOU GUT FEELINGS
You can still see the pain in that little girls Mum all these years later the poor woman 😢😢😢RIP kid 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve seen lots of videos on this creep. Yours is the best. Wow. Well done.
Alcala was a monster and this ladies are survivors who's testimony locked him forever.
I think this is one of the most profound videos that I have seen on this channel. So many emotions. It was so touching that she forgave the first victim, it was just so heart-warming to watch. That poor lady holding all of that guilt for all of that time😭
Kudos to that man that followed that demon and called the police to inform them of what he had witnessed and to the police that busted down that door to rescue her!!! 🎉🎊🍾🙏🏾
You know I love your channel and this was an exceptional important presentation…thank you so much. 💖
In 1974 it was known that there is no rehabilitation for sex offenders.
Love the narrator

I can feel the exhaustion from just watching this video, let alone robyn’s mother. The man not only murdered her daughter, she also took a hold of her mother’s life too, for decades!
The 2 surviving victims finally meeting after so long brought tears to my eyes. I’m glad they are finally able to heal after what that monster did to them. Such a tragedy that he was only required to serve such a minimal sentence after assaulting and nearly killing Tali Shapiro. So many women would be alive today if not for that.
Wow the spirit of Robin. Is a better person than me. I would have said “DO IT MOM!”
Wait what? after the 9 year old and the wallet with his name and picture in it and he still was free to just do what he wants? wtf
Beyond reasonable doubt
It’s good to know I’m not alone when it comes to SA and to hear how they felt because I feel the same exact way with my ptsd. I’m trying to lose the guilt and wish I would have done something different. When she said “when evil touches you it changes you but it doesn’t own you” that sent chills because even I thought I would handle it myself like that mother in the courtroom but the spirit of god took over me and said two wrongs don’t make it right. This brought tears.
It's horrible how good people feel more blame than the actual wrong doers in so many crimes. But people like Mike who smashed the window & the salesman Donald Haynes show us that we can become involved & take action & that criminals need to fear strong communities! Thank You for posting the victims names in a full & respectful manner. uk
The Judicial System needs an overhaul!
It pisses me off when they let men like this off for good behaviour in prison of course he'll behave in there no women and children and bigger and stronger men who think youre scum that youd keep your head down around. Cant believe he was released
Hear! Hear!
Now, they have sexual predators saying they are transgender women just so they can be in a women's prison to prey on women there!
The Good Samaritan is a person we wish everyone to be!
Learn by his good deed. See something?? SAY SOMETHING!
From my experience, in today's society, it doesn't do any good to call the police. They either don't respond or they let things slide for months and then contact you to hear what you called about and then still don't act on what you told them. Sometimes even if there are other witnesses. I reported a stabbing in my neighborhood a few years back. The police only contacted me after the court case and the person was found not guilty. I had video footage that would have put him in jail but after what the police did, I deleted the video. What's the point. You can't be charged with the offense a second time if you've been acquitted. Now, I don't bother reporting anything. What's the sense.
the 70's were crazy. How did he manage to get away with it
Probably because the 70's WAS crazy.
No cameras on every street intersection, and no dna testing back then. It was much much easier to get away with murder back then.
I was just wondering.. I'm at the part where he beat up Morgan and left her behind the dumpster. Did she just not report him? I'm confused.
@@Guywho_isat this time, and still, women are often afraid or ashamed to report when they are assaulted.
still happening tbh
How many woman were tortured and raped because she was quiet for her parents sake. Im so sorry you went through this. How frightening.
Felt the same way. Was disgusted actually.
Don't blame her, at the time how was she to know the consequences of not reporting it? The most important thing is that the mother fukka was caught right?
@@Phoenixkb222 she knew that the little girl was kidnapped, she also knew he beat the crap out of her twice, unless she was a stupid kid, she should have known
Selfish idiot
Tarded idiot got others killed by keeping quiet
Wow. Can’t believe they got on the 8 year old girl, now fully grown woman. What an amazing individual. Such strength
Her testimony is heartbreaking... The amount of times she said "I should've, I could've, if I had etc." those are the types of thoughts, guilts and regrets that can break a victim and survivors mind to the point of insanity. They can be pushed into addictions or suicide even violent outbursts.... Look at the survivor who got Jeffrey Dahmer caught. His life was destroyed by survivors guilt when he learned about the amount of victims before him and what his possible end could've been... It's heartbreaking and not many people want to talk about survivors guilt and what it does to your mind nor do these victims want to seek help because they fear what the world will think of them or they're ashamed... We should definitely be gentle with victims but never let them think they can't speak of their trauma and let them know we're there for them.... Robin's cases makes my stomach churn she and the 8 yr old were just kids... It takes a special type of monster to do what Rodney did and how he got so bold and arrogant to go on tv knowing people are hunting for him as wanted posters for him are out and he even used his real name. Thank God for Donald he truly was Talis guardian angel. He knew that if you see something you say something and thank got for the police officer for believing Donald.
Selfish idiot just want to party and get attention. Sje discusting
I once stood at a bus-stop as an adult woman around 30 with one of my sons, around 4 back then, to go to do some shopping in the next village. While we were waiting and waiting, the bus was involved in an accident on his route so he didn't make it to our bus stop, a guy in a more expensive car crossed us and offered to take us with him to the next village. I denied and he wouldn't let go in a nervous and latent angry way. Only when I got more resistant he drove off. I learned his car plate in the case someone went missing further on. I can't wrap my head around that he was thinking an adult with a kid would get into his car. They are insane. My son learned the lesson to never ever get into cars of strangers no matter what.
That part of that guy going to a dating show and that woman losing her life is beyond creepy.
I am a hardened true crime enthusiast, and none of them have hit me like this one did. Excellent narrator excellent research. Excellent video all around. Can't wait to see when you hit a million subscribers.
I can't believe he kept getting away with his death sentences
Geez, his eyes are like stones. He looks like he’s got victory smile on his face and not that good kind, no. The one that says - I’ve got you now.
wdf is one year to life?? people need to interview these judges and see what were they actually thinking
The USA seems to have a lot of loose cannon as judges. This man had his full life. He died at 77
She is extremely lucky to be alive
ikr, you have to be lucky if you're that dumb, no wonder why a lot of serial killers back then, too many clueless woman
I’m actually mad at Morgan’s mom. “She was fragile. She wouldn’t have been able to take it.” Morgan’s mom was the ADULT, and should’ve been the one taking care of her daughter. The fact that Morgan didn’t tell her about what happened to her to protect her mom’s feelings tells me that Morgan was parentified to some degree and had learned it was her job to take care of her mom’s emotions. It should’ve been the other way around. Rod Alcala is the one at fault for what happened, but I partially hold Morgan’s mom responsible for the subsequent mental anguish Morgan suffered afterwards. She should’ve been able to go to her mom as a safe space. She should’ve been able to tell her parents and felt protected by them. Instead she held inside the worst thing that ever happened to her. My heart breaks for her.
I feel so bad for her.. i wished i could hug her through the screen. The pain and guilt she felt, all on her own 😔
I agree. Moms should be safe spaces. Children shouldn't be the ones protecting the feelings of adults
I speak as the parent of an abuse victim when I say you're wrong to blame the mother.
My son came to me when he was being bullied at school; when he split with his first girlfriend; when he was having a rough trip after experimenting with drugs. He chose not to come to me after being abused until many years later for more or less the same reasons as Morgan didn't go to her mother. I must add that shame plays a big part in not telling. You don't want to see the pain of what you went through reflected on those you love.
It absolutely broke my heart that my son thought these reasons were more important than carrying this shame and trauma around with him for so many years.
I think we develop our own perspective of our parents from a very young age, and sometimes we misinterpret some things.
We see our mother refusing to react or confront our sister's loud and argumentative behaviour for instance, and see it as a weakness. We think she was too fragile to deal with it. But when we grow up we see that it was actually a strength.
You have to take in account that in this period women were judged harschly by society, they didnt have the freedom of nowdays, people bleam women for everything, even when Its not there fault. Sorry for my bad english 😅
I partially disagree - as much as parents should be your safe space and support system esp in times of abuse, sometimes people decide not to share their pain and suffering with their loved ones simply because they don’t want to make them worry.
Why the hell should they need to traumatize a little 8-9 yro girl to testify when there was a grown man/police officer who saw the whole thing AND the Good Samaritan who followed the car?!? So this guy can go on killing again and again and retraumatize the family with trial after trial?
