36: Serial Killer Rodney Alcala aka The Dating Game Killer

Hello and welcome to Crime & Spirits Podcast where your hosts, Bree and Suze, teach you all about some true crime, spooky stories, and how to make one heck of a good cocktail.  

Join the girls this week as they dive into the story of serial killer Rodney Alcala. This guy is notorious for appearing on a popular TV show during the height of his murder spree. He has been compared to people like Ted Bundy, and other well-known psychopaths deemed "charming and charismatic". Rodney Alcala may be one of the most prolific serial Killers in American history. He was convicted of five murders, however, he is a person of interest in many more. 

This week for sipping along, Suze is taking us to the swinging 70s and making a classic Manhattan. Buckle up buttercups and sip tight! This going to be a bumpy ride. 

Come hang out with us on social media! This is where we post the shopping lists (so you can stock up your bar ahead of time), drink recipes, and other fun things.
