His date from that appearance declined the rendezvous, finding him "creepy." Turns out she had good intuition.Īlcala's first known victim was an 8-year-old girl whom he attacked in 1968.

Rodney Alcala received the nickname "The Dating Game Killer" thanks to his appearance as a contestant on the popular TV show of the same name. He lived the rest of his life in prison and passed away in 2017 of a heart attack. Manson was sentenced to death, however, he was never executed. Manson was indicted and convicted along with the family members who'd carried out the murders at his behest.
The next night, Manson family members continued their spree, murdering supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary. Over the course of the night and into the next morning, they killed five people, including director Roman Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate, who was eight-and-a-half months pregnant at the time and Abigail Folger, heir to the Folger Coffee fortune. On the night of August 8, directed by Manson, several of his "family members" invaded a home in the northern hills of Los Angeles. The group's most infamous murders took place on in August 1969.
#Famous unsolved serial killers series
Throughout this documentary series we hear the recounted stories by people directly associated and/or harmed by each of the serial killers as well as the opinions of the various judges, prosecutors, forensic scientists, detectives and psychologists.In the late 1960s, a charismatic drifter with delusions of rock and roll grandeur named Charles Manson coerced a number of young women and men, many of whom were vulnerable teenagers, to join a cult called " The Family." This documentary series focuses more or less on the factual events of the serial killers early childhood, through to their series of murders and followed by some cold calculated explanations by each of the serial killers not why they did it but "how" they committed their murders. Instead, they each describe some of their early childhood experiences as being abnormal childhoods which eventually would lead them on a path of heinous crimes resulting in a string of murders. Obviously each of these serial killers are not normal peace loving human beings and family oriented. What I would have preferred though was to hear more from the actual detectives who worked each of these serial killer murders to successfully find the serial killers guilty in a court of law. The series benefit was that it did a great job of just relaying the facts and not sensationalizing any of these serial killers murders with any gruesome crime scene visuals. Along with the keyboard typing sound it was usually accompanied by a musical jazz and piano piece which was even more irritating as the sound of the jazz music increased the audio volume by about 20 percent and then the audio volume would go back down to normal. I found the periodic sound throughout the series of the typing on a computer keyboard to introduce some related text such as the following text "Jack Blake went missing on 7th May 1972" very irritating. What you get are the cold hard facts from the mouths of the serial killers themselves and delivered in more of a clinical documentary style.
Forget about any intrigue in this documentary style The Serial Killers such as the value Bill Kurtis always added to the Cold Case Files television series from 1979-2017.
