Man
accused of 1970s serial killings from DNA
evidence
SANTA ANA, Calif. A man awaiting retrial for
the 1979 killing of a California girl has been
indicted in the murders of four young women
during the 1970s including an 18-year-old from
central New York. Jill Barcomb had left
Oneida and moved west with friends in October
1977. Her body was found on a dirt road in a
remote area of Los Angeles on November 10th,
1977.
Her siblings say they are relieved
somebody has finally been charged.
Authorities say Alcala was connected to
the other cases through D-N-A evidence.
Although he allegedly killed the four
women in Los Angeles County, 62-year-old Rodney
Alcala will be tried in Orange County by
prosecutors from both counties.
He is in custody awaiting his third trial
in the death of 12-year-old Robin Samsoe, an
Orange County girl who vanished near the
Huntington Beach Pier as she rode her bicycle to
a ballet lesson.
Two previous convictions were overturned
on appeal, but not before Alcala spent 20 years
on death row.
