DA: Calif. serial killer linked to more cases
SANTA ANA, Calif. — The Orange County district attorney says serial killer Rodney Alcala may be linked to the disappearances of two more people, bringing the total to at least six possible unsolved cases.
District Attorney Tony Rackauckas made the comments Thursday on “Good Morning America.”
Police said earlier that family or friends of four women missing since the 1970s had called to say they recognized loved ones in photos found in Alcala’s storage locker when he was arrested.
Authorities released more than 100 photos last week after a jury recommended death for Alcala in the slayings of four women and a 12-year-old girl in the late 1970s.
Detectives have received hundreds of calls and are reviewing cold cases nationwide, from Alaska to Washington state to Arizona.
