True Crime Obsessed
About this episode
In the 1970s, a serial killer was running rampant, crisscrossing the country murdering young women and girls in California, Wyoming, and New York City...and probably more. The cops had nothing to go on. And little did they know that the killer was hiding in plain sight and even appeared on the popular TV show "The Dating Game" WHERE. HE. WON. THE. SHOW. AND. A . DATE. WITH. THE. FEMALE. CONTESTANT.
