Photos taken by OC serial killer released
The Associated PressHuntington Beach police are asking for the public's help in identifying any potential victims among dozens of young women apparently photographed by Rodney Alcala, convicted in the serial murders of four women and a 12-year-old girl.
Hundreds of photos recovered during court-authorized searches of Alcala's Monterey Park home and a storage locker were released Wednesday. Police say some of the photos from before his first arrest in 1979 show women and young girls in the nude and engaging in sex acts.
Most of the subjects in the photos have never been identified. Prosecutors say the 66-year-old Alcala used his camera to gain the trust of victims.
A jury on Tuesday recommended a death sentence for Alcala for the murders of a 12-year-old girl and four women dating back to the seventies.
