On a 1978 Episode of the hit show The Dating Game, Bachelor #1 was harboring a horrible, horrible secret.
Rodney Alcala’s downward spiral started with a broken home, and while his story has made true crime headlines, his sickening crime spree should perhaps be most remembered for how many chances the vicious murderer was inexplicably given. This week, we explore his story.
BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder takes a closer look at recent litigation in a pair of stories featuring an Instagram/OnlyFans model and the accuser of a landmark Civil Rights figure, respectively.
And, as always, we close with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst?

Episode 138 - Mormons, My Dude
There’s a major announcement in this week’s Murder, My Dude, and, sadly, the show may never be the same again.
But not everything is changing - we’re still providing a huge dose of true crime comedy goodness! In this episode, we take a look at the case of a set of bombings that set shockwaves through Salt Lake City in 1985.
