Cheryl Bradshaw chooses Rodney Alcala as the winning bachelor on The Dating Game
Though Alcala won the date with Bradshaw, she ultimately refused to go out with him, according to reports.
“One wonders what that did in his mind,” crime profiler Pat Brown said in an interview with CNN. “That is something he would not take too well. They don’t understand the rejection. They think that something is wrong with that girl: ‘She played me. She played hard to get.’ ”
Alcala became a killer just months after his appearance on the show, prosecutors said.
