In September 1978, the serial pervert killer Alcala appeared in the popular TV show "Dating Game" at the time. The show's host introduced him as a successful photographer, and when he was 13 years old, his father discovered that he had started tinkering with his hobby in the darkroom. In between shots, he also likes to skydive or ride a motorcycle.

The program team did not do background checks at all, in fact, Alcalá had killed at least two women, gone to jail, and was registered as a sex offender.
In a three-of-a-three session, he was selected by female guest Cheryl Bradshaw.
But Cheryl Bradshaw didn't go out with him on a solo date afterwards, and her sixth sense made her think he was a bit "creepy."
The other contestants, another lad sitting next to Alcalá, later described him as a "very strange man" with "strange opinions".
Fortunately, Breisch's sixth sense told him that he could not continue to develop a relationship with Alcalá, so that he would not be the wronged soul under his sword.
Alcalá seemed to be good-looking, but his methods of committing crimes were extremely cruel: he often tortured his victims slowly, strangling them until they lost consciousness, then waiting until they woke up, sometimes repeating the process several times, and finally killing them.

Alcalá was born in San Antonio, Texas, central America, and moved to Mexico with his parents at the age of 8. His father later ran away from home, and Alcalá and his sisters moved with their mother to the suburbs of Los Angeles, where they were raised by their mother alone.
In 1960, at the age of 17, after graduating from high school, Alcalá joined the U.S. Army as a clerk. While serving in the army, he had a reclusive personality and was out of place with everyone, and he was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder by military psychiatrists at the army hospital. People with this disease naturally cannot continue to serve in the army.
In 1964, he was discharged from the army.
For a long time, antisocial personality disorder was almost synonymous with perverted homicide. What exactly is antisocial personality disorder? Why is it often associated with perverted homicide? There will be some discussion of these later in the article.

Alcala, who claimed to have a "genius-level" IQ, was admitted to the UCLA Academy of Fine Arts after being discharged from the army, and after graduation, entered New York University under the pseudonym "John Berger" to study film under the guidance of Roman Polanski.
You're right, it was the Polish director Roman Polanski, who was indicted and wanted in the U.S. court for sexually abusing minors, who was once a professor at Alcalá.

Police estimate that Alcalá has been implicated in 130 killings, but this is only an estimate because there are still many missing people who have not been arrested. The earliest known crime committed by Alcalá was in Hollywood, Los Angeles, in 1968.
The girls in Alcalá's lens may also be victims
One day, a man driving past Alcalá's apartment accidentally saw Alcalá lure an 8-year-old girl named Tully to his apartment and called the police when he felt suspicious. Later, the police found Tully, a girl who was raped and beaten by steel bars, in Alcalá's apartment, but Alcalá escaped.
Alcalá fled to New York on the East Coast and entered NYU Film School under the pseudonym "John Berger" ("John Berger").
In school, he was polite, modest and studious, intelligent, and studied under a master director, which made people very optimistic about his future in the film industry.
If Alcalá is not caught, antisocial personalities like him may still succeed in social status because of his good looks, clever and cool head, and enterprising spirit that always wants to win.
Just as Alcalá had a penchant for torturing his victims, many sociopaths have the desire to mutilate animals, a desire that later turns into the mutilation of people, the transformation of perverted murderers.
Martha Stott, author of When conscience sleeps: Identifying the Sociopathic Personality Around You, has distilled a similar character from multiple cases of sociopaths, and the author calls him "The Iceman," which is particularly representative.
The Iceman has a well-off family, and when he is young, when he is bored, he will torture frogs in the pond behind his yard.
He first poked the frog with scissors, tried to torture the frog with all kinds of tricks, and watched the jelly-like frog eyes gradually become motionless as they continued to lose blood.
Finally he would throw the bodies of these frogs into the pond while shouting at the dead frogs, "How pitiful! You disgusting ugly toad! ”
This is typical of antisocial personalities who face the suffering of others and have no ability to empathize.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Samso's murder and trial</h1>
On June 20, 1979, 12-year-old California girl Robin Samso, as usual, passed by a beach not far from her home to take a ballet lesson. But in the evening, Samso still did not return home, and after the anxious parents and family called the teacher, they learned that the girl did not go to class that day.
Her body was found 12 days later in a ravine near Los Angeles, California, where it was decomposing.
When police investigated, some of Samso's friends of the same age said that before she disappeared, a stranger had spoken to the beach and wanted to take pictures of them.
Police locked Akara on the basis of clues comparing his past habits of photographing teenage girls and haunts; the police then found Samso's earrings in a locker rented by Alcalá to have the key evidence that could convict him.
In 1980, Alcalá was tried for the murder of Samso and sentenced to death. But his conviction was overturned by the California Supreme Court. The California Supreme Court argued that at the time the case was tried, the judge had the jury hear Alcalá's other rape and kidnapping cases first, arguing that the practice affected the jury's verdict in the case.
This reason is also quite bizarre. This undoubtedly allowed this perverted murderer to live for another forty years.
In 1986, he was convicted a second time and sentenced to death again, but was dismissed by the Court of Appeal for retrial, saying that police agents had a hint of suspicion of the park ranger who found Samso's body while collecting evidence.
The efficiency with which California sentences perverted murderers is a disgrace to California's judicial community.
In 2003, as the prosecutor's office prepared for its third indictment, prosecutors had conclusive evidence: Alcalá's DNA was sampled and matched with semen left at the rape and murder scene of two women in Los Angeles and Samso's DNA left on the pair of earrings.
Police also found that Alcalá's DNA matched the evidence retained in the murders of four other women.
In this way, the five charges were combined, and in 2006, the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of the prosecution, and In 2009, Alcalá was tried again.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the third trial</h1>
In the third trial, Instead of hiring another lawyer, Alcalá chose to defend himself.
He often told jurors, in a rambling form of self-talk, that Samso was picking strawberries at a strawberry farm at the time of his abduction and was not present.
Akala, who had a high IQ, repeatedly toyed with the victim's family and witnesses with words during the trial, once playing the role of a lawyer and witness on his own, questioning himself for more than 5 hours, and questioning the victim's family about the ornaments; he told the jury that by voting whether to sentence him to death, "you will become a waiting murderer with bloodthirsty desires."
He once asked one of the victim's mothers to appear in court, forcing her to admit to carrying a gun at the first trial. The mother did not deny this, telling the jury that her plan was to shoot Alcalá in the head at the right moment.
This pleasure of playing with others is also a symptom of a typical antisocial personality. They have their own set of logic and think it is absolutely right, while others are completely unaware of this because of stupidity, and it is precisely because of this that he believes that he has a responsibility to sober others up.
In court, at one point, he also played a song about an inner monologue about a patient telling a psychiatrist he wanted to "kill," expecting to impress jurors.
Later, in the final stages of the trial, Tully, the victim who had been reluctant to testify, unexpectedly appeared on the witness stand, and in the face of Alcalá, who had almost killed herself, she once again recreated the suffocating and painful memories. Its perverted scene made everyone on the scene palpitate and greatly shocked.
In March 2010, Alcalá was sentenced to death for the third time. But because California suspended the death penalty, Akala was able to survive. In July, 77-year-old Alcalá fell ill and died in his cell.
This is also a disgrace to the American judiciary.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > antisocial personality</h1>
In fact, we may have antisocial personalities around us. According to statistics, about 25 people have a person with an antisocial personality. The ratio is much higher than we thought.
But thankfully, the vast majority of sociopaths are not murderers, at least not with their own hands.
This kind of person has no emotional bondage, they are calm and calm, clear thinking, and orderly handling of things. Although they are well versed in the rules of society, they do not care at all. In fact, they pursue their own goals, and their ultimate goal is to "win". And they're very good at winning.
The leader of a large American company that I have served has published a book under the name of "Win". "Winning" is also the company's corporate culture. Under his management, everyone is required to win the market at any cost, to win customers, if anyone protests. Or, if someone dares to complain, he can choke that person with just two sharp words.
Later, I worried that in the long run, the corporate culture was too cold and lacked warmth, so I added another clause to the corporate culture: empathy, balancing this antisocial personality of "just to win".
In the movie "Sherlock", there is also a typical high-IQ antisocial personality Moriarty, who is smart and cunning, can play with people's hearts, and has an unpredictable personality, but is never anxious and good at disguise.

After reading this article, you may wish to think about yourself and those around you, whether there are mothers who use children as tools, who seduce and manipulate love objects, doctors who deliberately attack vulnerable and helpless patients, business partners who ransack your bank accounts and disappear without a trace, and charming "friends" who are very good at taking advantage of others and denying this.
These people can all be antisocial personalities.
Do antisocial personalities know that they have an antisocial personality? Completely unaware, on the contrary, he may also think that he is a good character.
And the only thing you should do is stay away from them.
