It was September 13, 1978, "Dating Game" host, Jim Lange, introduced Bachelor No. 1, Rodney Alcala as
"a successful photographer who got his start when his father found him in the darkroom at the age of 13, fully developed. Between takes,you might find him skydiving or motor-cycling."
Out of all three bachelors, the bachelorette on the show, Cheryl picked Alcala and if it wasn't a jolt of intuition, she might have been one of his victims.
After the show ended, she conversed with Alcala backstage. He offered her a date she’d never forget, but a weird feeling was stirring in the pit of Cheryl's stomach.
“I started to feel ill,”
claimed Cheryl.
“He was acting really creepy. I turned down his offer. I didn’t want to see him again.”
Cheryl wasn't the only one that felt that way. Contests and the host alike, stated that he was different back stage. That he was creepy, didn't make eye contact and was quiet. When he did speak he was condescending and argumentative. He acted like he was right and that everyone else was wrong.
Cheryl's rejection probably only fueled the fire of his devious mind.
