My mom was almost taken by Rodney Alcala when she was 6 at a carnival. He told her if he went with her she could go on all the rides she wanted. She was walking away holding his hand when her dad (my grandpa) turned around and saw and scared him off. She didn’t know it was him until years later when she saw his photo
@@ravenpoe7093 right! She let the FBI know about the incident in case there were any other cases in the area around that time because of the storage unit of all the photos.
looking at the photos linked made me so upset, the smiles on some of their faces and them not knowing what was about to happen to them breaks my heart. i hope they're all resting in peace 🌸🤍
I was raised by a psychopath. The one thing I was taught by my father was to beware of charming men. Too slick and too charming you stay away from these men.
Exactly!!! I’ve never understood why people compare criminals of any sort to animals. Animals are so pure hearted and they are quite literally the opposite, especially this thing.
Imagine being the people who were in the audience the woman who possibly went out with him and everyone on stage with him😐😵💫 and then the ppl who said yeah he would be great for our show!
The mom of robin stated she took a gun to the court house and planned to shoot Rodney, in a interview she gave. She stated that her daughters “spirit” stopped her from pulling out the gun and ending his life. Belle as always u presented the case well.
A serial killer more attractive and charming than Ted Bundy and more intelligent than Stephen Hawking. *shivers* Imagine if he had used that brain for good rather than evil. It's surprising to me that he isn't more infamous.
@@lisadaniel7193 You're not old, you're classic! 😉 And I have heard the story before, but he is definitely less infamous than Bundy, Dahmer, Son of Sam, the Zodiac, etc. I'm an 80s baby, so wasn't alive or old enough to remember these serial killers when they were committing their crimes or getting arrested.
Infuriating! So heaven forbid Tali didn’t make it, how would they convict him? Why did she need to testify?! Like you said- it was OBVIOUS he did it. So many lives lost bc of stupid red tape.
omg i didn’t even think of that, good point! so if she didn’t make it, he would just get away with murder because she couldn’t testify? totally ridiculous
I'm not familiar with the laws of evidence in California at the time but it's likely that they needed her to testify so that he could face his accuser. Maybe someone else is familiar with California Rules of Evidence in the 1970s.
If she was murdered, I bet they would have convicted him in a heartbeat. There was more than enough evidence. It's disgusting that they tried to force that little girl on the stand to traumatize her all over again!!
@@cassie1264 and I get her parents didn't want her to go through that but the lives it may have saved of she would have. She shouldn't have had to but wish she would have.
Growing up as a teenager during the time of the hillside strangler this story creeps me out. I remember always living in fear. We didn’t have air conditioning and this was all happening during the summer. We lived really close to that area. It was so extremely hot because we didn’t want to leave our windows open. Crazy times.
I'm sorry your aunt had to go through something so cruel at such a young age. I hope that she is able to live a long and beautiful life away from what that monster did to her.
The dating game production: Do you by any chance have a criminal record? Rodney: Uh, I'm on a murder spree and I've actually murdered a few women 👉👈 The production: *yOU'RE IN* 🤩
John Berger was an author. He wrote “ways of seeing” and won a booker prize for it in 1972. The name change could have had a different meaning rather than just being a random name. That makes me see this case in a whole different light.
You know what pisses me off more than just about anything? I'm gonna tell you! Lol The fact that sex offenses are not given stiffer punishments! I don't care if it's the first offense. In fact, the first offense should call for many years, so if there is a chance for "rehabilitation", you'll see once they finally get out. But when they get like months or probation or some other bullshit for any kind of sex crime, peeping Tom's, for instance, they never decrease in severity, do they? All they get is a slap on the wrist until they become serial rapists/murderers, by then, it is too late and they've left so much death and destruction in their wake. Nobody can ever make me understand how stupid the "justice" system is.
I totally agree! Another thing that really gets me is that people get such minimum sentences for ‘attempted rape’. Why the hell do they get leniency just because they weren’t successful despite trying? It should be equal sentencing for attempted rape and rape!
Why does it take so long to kill monsters like him? I'm highly offended that he was able to die from natural causes while so many little girls and women were ravaged then thrown away like trash.
Its to give them the chance to appeal. Over and over and... Even on death row. The government doesn't want to violate the fourteenth amendment even after due process. Unfortunately.
i won't deny that this man is a demon from hell, but we have to think about people who are wrongfully convicted as well. we all know false convictions are so prevalent when it comes to poc, ESPECIALLY black and brown men, so we shouldn't be calling for tighter laws when we know the justice system is so biased towards white individuals. but if evidence is undeniable, then yeah, those people should be facing a punishment worse than death.
i noticed some people complaining that her upload schedule is "inconsistent" on another video but she does so much work and we get to watch her videos for free, people are so entitled! if the upload schedule is working for her i'm happy
Wow! Watching this video just infuriated me at our justice system here in the States. I recognize that everyone deserves and should receive a fair trial. But how many times did this sick monster get away on technicalities and go on to murder yet other innocent young women and children? I'm with you...they had the pictures, they had his ID, they found a victim at his apartment, yet he gets off on a technicality. How many of his victims would still be alive if they had not been deterred by these minor issues when they had so much evidence against him anyway? It is so frustrating that at times it seems the perpetrator is their main focus to be fair with than the actual victims who suffered. Great job on this case/video!
Just wanted to comment and say .. I’ve watched this when you first posted it and now it’s crazy to see they have a show “woman of the hour” on Netflix. I immediately thought back to this video, you did a nice job with all your research .
I feel like I hit the jackpot when I found your channel. Your interest in crime reminds me so much of me when I was younger. Still have a mad interest, and your channel has me binging (which can get pretty heavy LOL) - Just love the way you narrate, and appreciate all the time and effort you obviously put into research and presenting the facts.

About Roman Polanski : at the last Cesar ceremony (the french version of an Oscar) he had 12 nominations and did recieve awards. The ceremony was widely criticized (but sadly not enough since he managed to keep the awards). Even Florence Foresti, a french comedian who presented the ceremony stated during the ceremony how uncomfortable she was with the idea of potentially having to give him an award. Adele Haenel, one of his victims, was present and had to leave the ceremony when he was given the award, because she was so upset Several other people left as well and Florence Foresti did not come back to present the rest of the ceremony and explained on social media how revulsed she was
Wasn’t there a French actress who was there and ended up getting wildly criticized because she didnt want him there and was tired of the glorification of literal rapists because they were “talented” men? I vaguely remember something like that but can’t remember her name
@@Hi-Phi this happens in the US too. If not at awards shows, many prominent people in the entertainment business will stand up for people like this bc they’re “talented” and “were never weird with them personally”
This Alcala guy is insane and a danger to society after what he did to those victims as well as appearing on that dating show. Also I cannot believe that he had the audacity to interrogate the mother of one of his victims and accuse her of lying. A true crime suggestion I have for you to cover Bella is Issei Sagawa who is a Japanese man who murdered his roommate and ate her flesh in France in the early 1980s and this case is so frustrating.
Right Sami?! I truly believe, interrogating a victim, if the perp is the one representing themselves, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED! IT IS APPALLING! And on another note....how on earth were they able to overturn his sentence 2 times and allow that poor girls family to go thru that over and over?? It's INSANE to me!!
Literally in love with your videos. I brag about you to everyone and i rewatch your videos over and over because the way you describe it is phenomenal. Sometimes i just have you on in the background while I'm cleaning or doing laundry. Your voice is really calming. Which ik is weird to say when normally you're talking about murders but just wanted to show you some love and let you know how much i appreciate you and your videos! 😊
If something feels “not quite right” it probably is! At a wedding once at a hotel, an old man in a wheelchair by the lemonade and water asked me (9-10 yo) to come chat with him at a table. Yes, there were tons of people around, and yes he seemed kind. But I had that feeling. It’s not quite right. So I excused myself to the bathroom and then found the nearest adult I knew. You never know what could happen, so be super careful my friends! Edit: The bride and groom did not know the old gentleman I described to them, so we assume he was just staying at the hotel that night and wanted some food and lemonade from the reception. I think he was just old and wanted to have an honest chat (I looked way older than I was) but I was noooot willing to take that chance.
Oh poor Mia, I think its so sweet she always just wants to be near Bella all the time, especially when she is feeling so rough with her bad foot/leg, her lovely little face! Hugs (gentle ones) Mia XXx
God those poor families, they’d already been through so much because of him. I can’t imagine having to relive all of that over and over every time they retried this guy cause of some bs technicalities. Absolutely horrible
Love your videos Bella. Having spent more than 20 years in Australia, your accent really brings home some wonderful memories. Thank you. Please make many more vids
21:36 How could that connection NOT have been made? He was already recognised by the girls from the FBI most wanted list where he was listed as Rodney Alcala while they knew him as John Burger ... Isn't his alias noted somewhere?!
the part that hurts me most is looking at the unidentified photos and seeing all of these women smiling at such an evil person. those innocent women were just having fun, but it's so hard to have fun anymore when you don't know their next moves.
I am familiar with this case, and as someone that works in Law Enforcement, men who molest children are your biggest repeat offenders. I once was complaining to a co-worker I was asked to dig records for an eighty year old man from the parole board of Michigan. I was overworked to say it kindley and I said he is eight one why am I asked to do this, I have a million things I needed to tackle. He was older then me and had many more years on the force, he said it's because he is a child molester. Sure enough even though he had not been in my jurisdiction for forty years through micro film he had decades if child molestation charges against him in our jurisdiction. Also noted by me, when you linked those photos, their were unidentified girls in I think two or three of them. We know he has molested children, Tila and Samsone.
I cannot even imagine what just happened. Going to jail, moving out free from the jail, going to new york, being on dating shows ,meanwhile committng heinous crimes and killing people. I am extremely shocked.I don't understand.I am just unable to process things. This is just so horrifying.
And he moved also to europe so he technically made victims also internationally speaking. I consider him one of the most prolific serial killers unfortunately
i watch a lot of true crime stuff and nothing really ever makes me cry. i’ll tear up but nothing like this. i started SOBBING when the mother cried because she was told her daughter didn’t have hair and even harder when he was convicted the 2nd time after the re trial when hearing/ seeing the moms reaction
💕 THANK YOU BELLAAAA I literally live for your videos they make my day I’ve been hooked to your channel for years! Sometimes I get so bummed out when you don’t post for a few weeks but then I remind myself you’ve got a beautifully crazy life of your own so I just want to say THANK YOU so much for ALL THAT YOU DO to keep making these videos for us…all the time, researching, doing camera stuff, audio, lighting and don’t forget editing lol. WHAT YOU DO MATTERS your videos are amazing they way you story-tell your so personable I adore your accent and funny playful but serious and powerful videos. YOUR APPRECIATED SO MUCH BELLA🌸💖
Rodney was a genius with an insane IQ… it’s so sad when potential like that goes to waste. It’s honestly kind of weird that many serial killers have higher IQ’s than the average score of 100. So smart they don’t know what to do with themselves?
Actually it's often that people with really high IQ tend to think a lot more and can question litteraly EVERYTHING they do and It can lead to psychopath tendencies or either if they lived hard childhoods (I'm not a psychologist haha but that's what I know) 🤷
When the gaming show segment came on I literally had shivers down my spine. Good god these people (the show) are so naive and blind to the danger right in front of them. It’s terrifying to think what some people are capable of….
Bella you should check out the case of William Bonin. It’s very brutal and tons and tons of information on it. I honestly think it puts Rodney alcala to shame. He was another serial killer in California. One of his survivors was on the show I survived. Bonin was absolutely disgusting.
NO FREAKING WAY HE DIED BEFORE HIS DEATH PENALTY. THIS GUY LIVED A LONG, "GREAT" LIFE, GOT TO LIVE UNTIL ALMOST 80. BASICALLY JUST 60 YEARS OF DOING WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTED WITH PRACTICALLY NO CONSEQUENSE. I KNOW 4 OF THE WOMEN IN THE PHOTOS. THATS 4 TOO MANY. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS.
Even though I am familiar with this case, Bella is does such an excelsior job covering these cases that I still learn something new that I didn’t know before. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of all of the victims. 💗
Looking at the link of the unidentified people in all the photos is actually so sad... It's crazy to think that those all were taken before July 1979! Someone has to know each and every one of the victims in those photos. Isn't there new technology that allows investigators to match the face to a name? Or is it because these photos were taken so long ago that it would be hard to identify?
two in a row wow. This case has frustrated me since I heard it. That poor 8 yr old girl. Her parents made the right decision. The police had enough evidence to convict him they failed. The system failed all these victims. The game show imagine if she had gone on that date! The system took far to long to convict him. Thank God for DNA to put the nail in his coffin
Omg, so I was just on vacation in LA and went to Huntington Beach and the Pier there. I saw the sign they made for Robin but just thought she must’ve drowned. I literally showed it to my fiancé and sister. I have chills now because I didn’t think to look her name up until this video.
He was so friggen smart. What bugs the hell out of me is the fact that he was RELEASED! Like, how on earth could that be possible. This is what bothers me about the justice system; it maketh zero sense to me. This is something that I focus on in my little true crime videos on my petite true crime channel (mmmkay), what more could the justice system have done/should have done is always in the back of my mind. Lovely job Bella, I love your true crime videos and can't believe that this is one of your first serial killer videos...how did that happen? haha
You have been gone from us for a while, Where have you been? You are such a great fact- checker and present it so well. Also need that Casetify! Ordering because as an older senior I don't have a good way to carry my phone and often drop it. Thank you and welcome back to You Tube!!
PLEASE do the Robert Pickton case! It's a Canadian case, and I've never seen anyone else do this one despite it being VERY interesting. Again, love your channel, look into Robert Pickton!
Hi Bella, greetings from Sydney, I came across your chanel only a week ago,by chance,. So I am new ,and so far have watched a lot of your case files.Love it. Your personality , characteristics and genuine empathy is fabulous. Keep up the good 👍 work,love the 🐈😺.
I always found it really odd that parents would let their kids go places alone when they knew there was a killer on the loose in those days. Obviously no one deserves to have that happen to their kids but come on.

I have never understood why rapist/killers get such low sentences but when someone gets caught with marijuana, they get sentenced to up to 20 years 🤨
Same it doesn't make sense
It's likely the sentencing guidelines. Tell your area's member of Congress.
Because men enable other men.
It feels like men just hate women so much. That’s how I feel.

Omg I'm so glad she didn't go on that date! That's super creepy! You can see her first look at him she knew he was no good.
God those poor families, they’d already been through so much because of him. I can’t imagine having to relive all of that over and over every time they retried this guy cause of some bs technicalities. Absolutely horrible
Hello Bella. You are quickly becoming one of my favorites. Love the earrings.
The earrings are the flare, I love them!
She is one of my faves and those earrings are rockin it!!
perfect example of our court system and why it is so backed up
She just makes my Mondays worth getting up and spending.
I’m so happy Bella woke up one day and decided to be the best UA-camr ever
Love your videos Bella. Having spent more than 20 years in Australia, your accent really brings home some wonderful memories. Thank you. Please make many more vids
your makeup and skin look stunning! brow goals :)
thank you angel 🥺💗

How could that connection NOT have been made? He was already recognised by the girls from the FBI most wanted list where he was listed as Rodney Alcala while they knew him as John Burger ... Isn't his alias noted somewhere?!
I have yet to see a prolific serial killer without police incompetence
u really are my favorite ~youtuber~ at the moment ! been watching ur videos all day everyday
the part that hurts me most is looking at the unidentified photos and seeing all of these women smiling at such an evil person. those innocent women were just having fun, but it's so hard to have fun anymore when you don't know their next moves.
Just wanted to say I love your videos and I’m actually currently using this video for my criminal investigations class!
Wow I never heard of Rodney. You tell these stories in a way where it takes us back to this time. 🥺 These things can happen so easily. It’s horrible!
I am familiar with this case, and as someone that works in Law Enforcement, men who molest children are your biggest repeat offenders. I once was complaining to a co-worker I was asked to dig records for an eighty year old man from the parole board of Michigan. I was overworked to say it kindley and I said he is eight one why am I asked to do this, I have a million things I needed to tackle. He was older then me and had many more years on the force, he said it's because he is a child molester. Sure enough even though he had not been in my jurisdiction for forty years through micro film he had decades if child molestation charges against him in our jurisdiction. Also noted by me, when you linked those photos, their were unidentified girls in I think two or three of them. We know he has molested children, Tila and Samsone.
I literally look forward to see what earrings she’s wearing each episode
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
@@David_Robert creep
Could help but notice Mia throughout the whole video, she is adorable🥺🥺
I love Bella’s shit talk in her videos about the killers❤️
I cannot even imagine what just happened. Going to jail, moving out free from the jail, going to new york, being on dating shows ,meanwhile committng heinous crimes and killing people. I am extremely shocked.I don't understand.I am just unable to process things. This is just so horrifying.
And he moved also to europe so he technically made victims also internationally speaking. I consider him one of the most prolific serial killers unfortunately
I’ve heard this case before but you did a really good and thorough job.
Omg this is one of the most interesting serial killers I’ve ever researched , can’t wait to watch this !
i watch a lot of true crime stuff and nothing really ever makes me cry. i’ll tear up but nothing like this. i started SOBBING when the mother cried because she was told her daughter didn’t have hair and even harder when he was convicted the 2nd time after the re trial when hearing/ seeing the moms reaction
💕 THANK YOU BELLAAAA I literally live for your videos they make my day I’ve been hooked to your channel for years! Sometimes I get so bummed out when you don’t post for a few weeks but then I remind myself you’ve got a beautifully crazy life of your own so I just want to say THANK YOU so much for ALL THAT YOU DO to keep making these videos for us…all the time, researching, doing camera stuff, audio, lighting and don’t forget editing lol. WHAT YOU DO MATTERS your videos are amazing they way you story-tell your so personable I adore your accent and funny playful but serious and powerful videos. YOUR APPRECIATED SO MUCH BELLA🌸💖
Would love to hear you talk about more serial killers!
Yes agreed!
Yes!! Definitely more serial killer stories!!
Mia is such a mood 🥰
This man is actually unbelievable, like how was he never convicted properly in the beginning 🙄
Rodney was a genius with an insane IQ… it’s so sad when potential like that goes to waste. It’s honestly kind of weird that many serial killers have higher IQ’s than the average score of 100. So smart they don’t know what to do with themselves?
Maybe they think they’re so smart they could get away with it
Actually it's often that people with really high IQ tend to think a lot more and can question litteraly EVERYTHING they do and It can lead to psychopath tendencies or either if they lived hard childhoods (I'm not a psychologist haha but that's what I know) 🤷
The glue stick earrings are everything 🙌🏻
I literally look forward to see what earrings she’s wearing each episode
@@gabriellewitts4746 same, she has an incredible earring collection
Bella is spoiling us this week! Thank you so much for your hard work ❤️
Poor puppy contemplating life @ 31:54 lol love your videos!!!
You spoil us Bella! Keep up the great work!
I love your serial killer videos! thank you for this one
Thank you for 2 videos back to back. I love your videos and you accent makes my day😁
When the gaming show segment came on I literally had shivers down my spine. Good god these people (the show) are so naive and blind to the danger right in front of them. It’s terrifying to think what some people are capable of….
Pedophiles deserve the harshest punishment. No chance to re-commit. It's disgusting.
Bella you should check out the case of William Bonin. It’s very brutal and tons and tons of information on it. I honestly think it puts Rodney alcala to shame. He was another serial killer in California. One of his survivors was on the show I survived. Bonin was absolutely disgusting.
unrelated to the case! but you are soo good at doing sponsorships lol. you make me wanna buy everything you mention 😭
NO FREAKING WAY HE DIED BEFORE HIS DEATH PENALTY. THIS GUY LIVED A LONG, "GREAT" LIFE, GOT TO LIVE UNTIL ALMOST 80. BASICALLY JUST 60 YEARS OF DOING WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTED WITH PRACTICALLY NO CONSEQUENSE. I KNOW 4 OF THE WOMEN IN THE PHOTOS. THATS 4 TOO MANY. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS.
Please, please, please do more videos on serial killers! I could listen to you talk all day 🥰 love you Bella!
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
If she said it was overturned one more time I was gonna lose my shit. Crazy. What a disgusting human he was
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
Even though I am familiar with this case, Bella is does such an excelsior job covering these cases that I still learn something new that I didn’t know before. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of all of the victims. 💗
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
Looking at the link of the unidentified people in all the photos is actually so sad... It's crazy to think that those all were taken before July 1979! Someone has to know each and every one of the victims in those photos. Isn't there new technology that allows investigators to match the face to a name? Or is it because these photos were taken so long ago that it would be hard to identify?
On another note - I love your dog Mia! She’s always a star in your videos 😃
Definitely would love to see more serial killer videos. Love you Bella 🖤
I’ve been watching you for YEARS and now I’m in college studying the same thing!!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
two in a row wow. This case has frustrated me since I heard it. That poor 8 yr old girl. Her parents made the right decision. The police had enough evidence to convict him they failed. The system failed all these victims. The game show imagine if she had gone on that date! The system took far to long to convict him. Thank God for DNA to put the nail in his coffin
Omg, so I was just on vacation in LA and went to Huntington Beach and the Pier there. I saw the sign they made for Robin but just thought she must’ve drowned. I literally showed it to my fiancé and sister. I have chills now because I didn’t think to look her name up until this video.
He was so friggen smart. What bugs the hell out of me is the fact that he was RELEASED! Like, how on earth could that be possible. This is what bothers me about the justice system; it maketh zero sense to me. This is something that I focus on in my little true crime videos on my petite true crime channel (mmmkay), what more could the justice system have done/should have done is always in the back of my mind. Lovely job Bella, I love your true crime videos and can't believe that this is one of your first serial killer videos...how did that happen? haha
I'm so happy you posted again! 💗💗 I've missed you and been worried about you
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
OMG YES is the queen back? Two videos in one week? I could cry!!!!
You have been gone from us for a while, Where have you been? You are such a great fact- checker and present it so well. Also need that Casetify! Ordering because as an older senior I don't have a good way to carry my phone and often drop it.
Thank you and welcome back to You Tube!!
Definitely interested in more of your videos on serial killers.You explain them exceptionally well ✊
It’s terrifying knowing that this man committed crimes in the county I live in…
omg this is the earliest I've ever been to a Bella video! time to grab my wine and pjs!
At first I was like thats the weirdest show ever but then remembered I’m literally watching the ultimatum and it’s not any better lmao
I would love to see you make videos on other serial killers, I love the way you tell the stories 💙
I need a tutorial on this look Bella, so stunning ✨😌
I've heard that story a few times. I think yours was the best researched.
PLEASE do the Robert Pickton case! It's a Canadian case, and I've never seen anyone else do this one despite it being VERY interesting. Again, love your channel, look into Robert Pickton!
I don't think I have been any earlier in a Bella Fiori video, but to those who are here early, hello and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day
Hi Bella, greetings from Sydney,
I came across your chanel only a week ago,by chance,. So I am new ,and so far have watched a lot of your case files.Love it.
Your personality , characteristics and genuine empathy is fabulous.
Keep up the good 👍 work,love the 🐈😺.
I always found it really odd that parents would let their kids go places alone when they knew there was a killer on the loose in those days. Obviously no one deserves to have that happen to their kids but come on.
Yay! I'm so glad to see another video from you, you're my favorite ❤️
Omg my brain can’t reconcile the cuteness of Mia snoozing in the background with the horrible serial killer story 🫠😬🫣🤔
UA-cam: here’s a true crime video on this guy dubbed “the dating game killer”
Me 1/2 trough the video: What happened to the doggy’s leg? Poor baby lol hopefully he’s getting lots of love
So excited ! You look lovely as always
I love the video's on serial killers! You should do more for sure!!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
Nothing like a murder video to start your day as you get ready 🤍😂 sending love from New Mexico, USA
