Authorities have released pictures taken by serial killer Rodney James Alcala in hopes of locating any other victims.
Police are releasing more than 100 photographs of women and children Alcala photographed over the years found in his Seattle storage locker.
Alcala, 66, was sentenced to death March 9 for the murder and kidnapping of 12-year-old Huntington Beach girl Robin Samsoe in 1979 and the murder of four Los Angeles women in the 1970s.
He has been convicted and sentenced to death twice before for Robin’s death, but twice the convictions were overturned on appeal. It wasn’t until after the second conviction was overturned that officials uncovered DNA evidence linking Alcala to the Los Angeles murders.
Anyone with information on the identities of the people photographed should contact Sgt. Smith at (714) 536-5947 or Detective Ellis at (714) 536-5947 with the Huntington Beach Police Department or Supervising District Attorney Investigator Ed Berakovich at (714) 347-8492.
