DATING GAME KILLER

PREMIERES SUNDAY DECEMBER 3 AT 8pm ET ON INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY!

Dating Game Killer airs on Sunday, December 3 at 8pm ET and stars Guillermo Diaz (Scandal, Weeds) in the role of, perhaps, America’s most prolific serial killer, Rodney Alcala, alongside Emmy® winner Carrie Preston (The Good Wife, True Blood) as Carol Jensen, a mother who tirelessly seeks justice for her murdered daughter.

Guillermo Diaz transforms into the disturbing role of Rodney Alcala, a man with a near-genius IQ whose charm and smooth-talking ability landed him an appearance as a contestant in 1978 on the popular television show, “The Dating Game” – and, subsequently, a place in history as one of America’s most prolific serial killers. Alcala preyed on young attractive women, luring them by claiming he was a professional photographer who wanted to enter their photos in a contest.While the precise victim count remains unknown, Alcala is thought to have killed as many as 130 women and children before he was finally captured in 1980. Chronicling the depth of lives impacted by murder, Dating Game Killer charts Alcala’s reign of terror while following the gut-wrenching journey of Preston’s Carol Jensen, a mother forever and tragically impacted by the collateral damage of Alcala’s evil. Audiences also follow Det. Jim Hamill (Robert Knepper, Prison Break) and his partner Greg Ryan (Matt Barr, Hatfields & McCoys) on their relentless mission to put Alcala behind bars, and the plight of Alcala’s mother Anna (Alma Martinez, The Bridge) as she comes to the realization that her own son may be a mass murderer.

Dating Game Killer is produced for Investigation Discovery by Thinkfactory Media with Peter Medak (Romeo is Bleeding, The Krays) as director, Leslie Greif (Hatfields & McCoys) as executive producer, Martin Hunter (Full Metal Jacket) as editor, from a script by Leslie Greif & Darrell Fetty.
