What happened to Woman of the Hour’s Rodney Alcalá after his arrest

He murdered two other women while on bail awaiting trial

Woman of the Hour is truly one of the craziest Netflix shows I’ve ever seen and the fact that Rodney Alcala was a real person is absolutely horrifying, but what ended up happening to him in real life after his arrest?

While the show provides some context for what happened to her after her arrest, we delve into the details of her life before appearing on The Dating Game, as well as the horrific events that happened after her arrest .

In real life, Rodney Alcala enlisted in the military, but was discharged after a nervous breakdown and allegations of sexual misconduct, according to CBS News.

After his first attack, he chose to move to New York and created the alias John Berger to keep his identity hidden. He was a keen photographer and often took pictures of his victims before or after their murders.

As for how Rodney even managed to get into The Dating Game in the first place, it all comes down to the lack of technology at the time. It was not possible to run background checks or access criminal databases, so the production team had no idea of ​​Rodney’s criminal record, which included a previous charge of attempted murder.

As for what happened after Rodney Alcalá was arrested by the police after the events of Woman of the Hour, the show includes some, but not all, of the details. Unfortunately, Rodney was able to be released on bail pending his trial date. Unfortunately, he murdered two other women, a 21-year-old woman and a 12-year-old girl.

He was then arrested again in 1979 and convicted of seven murders, although authorities believe he may have killed as many as 130 people in his lifetime. In 2010, he was convicted of five counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to death, and prosecutors in New York and Wyoming sentenced him to an additional 25 years in prison.

Although he received the death penalty on multiple counts for his multiple murders, Rodney never made it to the pulpit, as he died on July 24, 2021, of natural causes at the age of 77. Around the last years of his life, he received constant care and was taken to a hospital before he died. Before it happened, his execution had been postponed indefinitely as a result of a moratorium on the death penalty instituted by the state in 2019.
