  Send us a textOn September 25, 1968, a passing motorist named Donald Haines called police after witnessing an older man lure Tali Shapiro, an 8 year old girl, into his Hollywood apartment. Tali, who was residing at the Chateau Marmont with her family, was approached by the gentleman on her way to school when he pulled up beside her in his car and asked if she needed a ride.Police would locate the apartment where she was taken and knock on the door to find the young girl victimized and clinging to life on the kitchen floor. Tali was in a coma for 32 days, and spent months in recovery.  This would just be the beginning on a heinous crime spree by a morally bankrupt piece of shit who would terrorize multiple states and even make his was to the Dating Game as a contestant.  This is the story of Rodney Alcala – The Game Show Murderer.Follow us on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/badhumanpod/Email us with your case ideas:  [email protected] us a review on Apple Podcast:    https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bad-human-a-true-crime-podcast/id1648391112Rate us on Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/2utGasoYk146fWCAhKEWeX?si=bt_Gqo5nQja7Y81tQoVi4gResources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Alcala https://www.cbsnews.com/news/serial-killer-rodney-alcala-the-killing-game/ https://www.businessinsider.com/the-dating-game-cheryl-bradshaw-rodney-alcala-true-story-2024-10 https://www.forbes.com/sites/monicamercuri/2024/10/21/the-chilling-true-story-behind-netflixs-woman-of-the-hour-serial-killer-rodney-alcala/ https://www.oxygen.com/crime-news/dating-game-killer-rodney-alcala-victims-photoSupport the show

  Send us a textIn a shocking incident in 2000, Australian woman Katherine Knight brutally stabbed her partner, John Price, a staggering 37 times.

• 60. UNSOLVED: THE MURDER IN HOTEL ROOM 1046

  Send us a textOn Jan. 3rd,  1935, a man calling himself Roland T. Owen checked into the Hotel President in Kansas City, Missouri.  Carrying no luggage, he was described as being 20 to 35 years old, had brown hair, a scar on his scalp visible above the ear, and a case of cauliflower ear. He was nicely dressed in a black coat and received the room key for room 1046.   He specifically asked for an interior room several floors up.  He paid for one night.  However, he would never check out. Two days later he would be found stabbed, tied up and bleeding to death in his room with little clue as to who or what had done these horrible acts.  In a real life game of Clue, police would try to solve the case including an alias, possible organized crime, mysterious phone calls and letters.....all of which are still unsolved to this day.
