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.
