Dating Game Killer

[ The zombies' "time of the season" playing ]

Man: right over here.

I just need to swing by my office for a minute,

and then I'll, uh, I'll meet you at the property.

[ The turtles' "she'd rather be with me" playing ]

Uh, yeah, I've seen the before and after.

Well, for that location,

this is the best price on the market.

Now I'm telling you, the seller is very motivated.

Bring me an offer.

Man: uh-huh. Uh-huh. What? What?

Oh, sorry. Something's going on here that doesn't look right.

Look, I've gotta go. I'll call you later.

Hey! stop! Stop! Officer!

You trying to get yourself killed?

Maybe I'm losing it, but I think I just saw

some man lure a little girl into his car.

They -- they drove into this building right here.

i need backup at 6638 densmore,

suspected child abduction.

Show me.

He took her up there. First door, first door.

Police officer. Open the door. I need to talk to you.

Man: okay. Okay.

Look, give me a minute, all right?

i need to talk to you now!

I just got out of the shower. I need to get dressed.

Take off the chain and open the door first.

Open the door or I kick it in!

Hamell: when I saw that little girl lying there,

something changed inside of me.

Two tours in the marines, four years as a police officer,

I'd thought I'd seen everything.

But nothing prepared me for the brutality

I saw that day.

8-year-old Rosie Hoffman

had been viciously raped and beaten unconscious

and had stopped breathing.

With 8-year-old Rosie Hoffman,

I felt like god was giving me another chance.

Come on. Breathe.

Rodney alcala, the deviant who attacked her, got away.

Because of repeated failures in the justice system,

he would keep getting away.

Three months later, i made detective

instead of looking for him.

I had no idea that alcala could turn out to be

one of the most prolific serial killers in history.

At the time, i just wanted to kill him

for what he did to that little girl.

Years later, I would get that chance.
