A 77-year-old inmate who spent time on California s death row for kidnapping and murdering a 12-year-old Huntington Beach girl and killing four other people died Saturday of natural causes, state officials said.
Rodney James Alcala died of natural causes at 1:43 a.m. at a hospital in the community near Corcoran State Prison, according to the California Department of Corrections.

Alcala, who appeared as a contestant on the television show “The Dating Game” in 1978. was sentenced to death in Orange County in 1980 for the 1979 kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Robin Samsoe. That judgment was reversed in 1984 by the California Supreme Court, and Alcala was granted a new trial.
In 1986, Alcala was sentenced to death a second time for Samsoe s murder; however, a federal appeals court in 2003 overturned the sentence and Alcala was given a new trial. His DNA matched evidence in other murders, and Orange County prosecutors indicted Alcala for the murders of four other women.
In 2010, an Orange County jury convicted Alcala of five counts of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to death for the killing of Samsoe as well as the 1977 deaths of 18-year-old Jill Barcomb and 27-year-old Georgia Wixted; the 1978 death of 32-year-old Charlotte Lamb, and the 1979 death of 21-year-old Jill Parenteau.
