Īlcala is often referred to as The Dating Game Killer because of his 1978 appearance on the television show The Dating Game in the midst of his murder spree. One police detective described Alcala as "a killing machine," and others have compared him to Ted Bundy. Prosecutors have said that Alcala "toyed" with his victims, strangling them until they lost consciousness, then waiting until they revived, sometimes repeating this process several times before finally killing them. Alcala is known to have assaulted one other photographic subject, and police have speculated that others could be rape or murder victims as well. In 2016, he was charged with the 1977 murder of a woman identified in one of his photos. Īlcala compiled a collection of more than 1,000 photographs of women, teenage girls, and boys, many in sexually explicit poses. While he has been conclusively linked to eight murders, Alcala's true number of victims remains unknown and could be much higher.
