Rodney Alcala's Images Spark Fears of Unidentified Victims

In March 2010, following a lengthy judicial process and a death sentence from a jury, Huntington Beach police took the unusual step of releasing over 100 photographs linked to convicted serial killer Rodney Alcala. These images, discovered in a Seattle storage locker, included pictures of unidentified women and children. The intention behind this release was to solicit assistance from the public in identifying the individuals in the photographs, raising concerns that Alcala may have had additional victims beyond those for which he was convicted. The police hoped that this outreach would illuminate further details about his criminal activities, deepening the investigation into any possible connections to unsolved cases.
