After using technicalities to beat two convictions, Rodney Alcala, now 66, was convicted a third time in 2010 and sentenced to death for killing 12-year-old Robin Samsoe on June 20, 1979. Witnesses testified that he asked her to pose for photographs at the 14th Street beach in Huntington Beach, Calif., a few minutes before he kidnapped her. She was riding a friend's bicycle to ballet practice at the time. All of the recovered photos were taken before 1979.

Rodney Alcala is reportedly a suspect in at least two cold cases in New York. One of those is the case of Ellen Jane Hover, 23, (not shown) a restaurant heiress who disappeared in 1977 after leaving her Manhattan apartment. A year later, her bones were found in a shallow grave in a rugged section of the Rockefeller estate in Westchester County, about 100 feet from a spot where Alcala allegedly brought another young woman for a photo session.

Rodney Alcala's photos feature primarily women and young girls in candid and posed shots. Some show women staring into the lens of a camera held by a man who was a serial killer, in remote settings - similar to the locale where Ellen Hover's body (not shown) was found in 1978. Alcala was reportedly the last person to see Hover alive and was questioned by New York police at the time of her disappearance.

Rodney Alcala is also a suspect in the June 12, 1971, rape and strangulation of Cornelia Crilley, a 23-year-old TWA flight attendant whose body was found in her Manhattan apartment on 83rd Street. Authorities say Alcala's DNA matches genetic material found at the crime scene.
