Cheryl Bradshow indeed participated in September 1978 in The Dating Game in which Rodney Alcala, a rapist and serial killer, also participates, without the production being aware of his crimes.
The rest is a psychological thriller since the psychopath, who had already served time in prison for the violent attacks on two young girls, was active at the same time throughout California and had already killed four women in a particularly cruel way. Cheryl Bradshaw escaped the same fate by refusing to go any further after the show. Rodney Alcala was sentenced to death in 2010 in California for five murders, also charged with two others, but his death toll is estimated to be much higher. He died of natural causes on July 24, 2021 in prison.
