You may be familiar with a recent movie that just dropped on Netflix called “Woman of the Hour” with Anna Kendrick. It is the fictionalized version of a true story about a serial killer and rapist name Rodney Alcala. He’s known as the “Dating Game Killer.” There have been countless shows, documentaries, and podcasts about his crimes. He was convicted of murdering 7 girls and women and placed on death row until he died of natural causes in 2021. And while he was convicted of some of his crimes, there was always a belief by investigators that he was potentially responsible for 130 more. One of those unsolved crimes involved Niki Rowe Cross. She says Alcala was one of the johns who raped her in an attic in Ohio in 1977 where she was held captive as a teenager along with two other teens for a year. Niki tells her powerful and disturbing story as a way to bring awareness to human sex trafficking and to help others. The show can be watched here on YouTube, or you can listen wherever you get your podcasts: https://sites.libsyn.com/490772
