(NewsNation) — Morgan Rowan said she spoke to police after surviving two attacks by “Dating Game” serial killer Rodney Alcala, but there is no physical report.

Alcala is confirmed to have killed at least seven women and girls in California, New York and Wyoming. Rowan and at least one other girl managed to escape Alcala's attacks – which took place a decade before his appearance on “The Dating Game.”

“There is no actual report,” Rowan said during an appearance Tuesday on NewsNation’s “Banfield.” “The officer told me that I knew him and no one would ever lock him up for rape because I got in his (Alcala's) car and went to his house.”

Rowan met Alcala when she was 13 and he was 21, in 1965 at a teenage nightclub in Hollywood. Rowan lightly scratched her arm with her fingernails to get his attention, but then he dragged her into an alley behind the club and punched her, knocking her unconscious, according to Rowan.

Three years later, in August 1968, Rowan met Alcala again at a party. According to Rowan, Alcala dragged her into a bedroom where he assaulted and raped her. Rowan's friends, wondering where they had gone, were able to stop the attack.

Rowan said the police “didn’t like hippies,” which is why she felt her case wasn’t taken seriously.

“They thought we were troublemakers and they just didn’t like you,” Rowan said in “Banfield.” “They saw us as fighting people. He couldn’t understand what was actually happening…men always had the benefit of the doubt.”

According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Alcala died of natural causes in 2021. He was 77 years old.

Alcala, who got his nickname from an appearance on the television show “The Dating Game” in 1978, was sentenced to death in 1980 for the kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Orange County resident Robin Samsoe a year earlier.

Although Alcala's sentence was overturned and reinstated several times on appeal, he was sentenced to death again in 2010 after his DNA was linked to evidence from other murders.

Alcala was convicted by an Orange County jury in 2010 of five counts of first-degree murder. In addition to Samsoe's murder, Alcala was also convicted of the 1977 murders of Jill Barcomb, 18, and Georgia Wixted, 27; Charlotte Lamb, 32, in 1978; and Jill Parenteau, 21, in 1979.

He was also linked to two murders in New York and was extradited in 2012 to stand trial for the murders of Cornelia Crilley in 1971 and Ellen Jane Hover in 1977. He pleaded guilty in 2012 and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. In addition, he was charged with another murder in 2016, this time for the killing of 28-year-old Christine Ruth Thornton, who disappeared in Wyoming in 1978 and was six months pregnant at the time.

According to the CDCR release, law enforcement investigators have linked or suspected Alcala in other cases, including in Los Angeles, Marin County, Seattle, New York, New Hampshire and Arizona.
