(CNN) -- A California jury recommended Tuesday that a man who once appeared on "The Dating Game" be executed for the murders of four women and a child.
The jury deliberated an hour before deciding that Rodney Alcala, 66, should pay with his life for the murders of Robin Samsoe, Jill Barcomb, Georgia Wixted, Charlotte Lamb and Jill Parentau, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office said.
Alcala will be formally sentenced Wednesday in Santa Ana, Orange County, where the case was tried even though most of the crimes were committed in neighboring Los Angeles.
The slayings took place between November 1977 and June 1979, covering a wide swath of suburban Los Angeles from Burbank to El Segundo, prosecutors said.
Before he was a convicted serial killer, Alcala was a winning bachelor on "The Dating Game."
