He was still in the slammer when Catherine disappeared. Hence the long shot.The more I read about Rodney Alcala, the more of a web seems to branch out. They mistakenly look at his FIRST conviction rather than follow his life and locations he lived at paralleled to events of those years.
He suffered a psychotic nervous breakdown in 1964 at the age of 21.
This is one of the most accurate detailed timelines I've seen. Here:

Edwards could have used a knife, gun, drugs, alcohol to lure them into the parking lot away from the main part of the hall. Maybe they were sitting in a car making out. He forced them both into a different car - remember these are 17 year old teenagers. Back then was different - we played outside until the street lights came on. Seeing a gun or knife pointed at them, they may freak out. Fight Flight or Freeze. They complied with Edwards wishes out of fear for their lives. He probably threatened to kill them where they stood in some manner before kidnapping them. I think Catherine walked outside by herself and someone could have followed right behind her, a man, a woman, an employee. Maybe she walked out further away from the building which made her more vulnerable to being abducted. It's a mystery for now.Did Edward Edwards explain how he killed Timothy and Kelly? I've been wondering about it... I know he was in other state when Cathy disappeared, but is there any possibility he had an accomplice? Maybe a friend or other employee.
Kelly was tied and strangled, Timothy was stabbed... We can assume Edwards intercepted the couple in the parking, how did he prevent them from running or screaming? I know he may have threatened to kill Kelly if Timothy tried to do something, but it's a very risky scenario: anyone could have left the Concord House in that moment and witnessed the abduction. Aside from that: their bodies were far from Concord House, it's not very likely they went on foot, so how did Edwards force a couple to enter in a vehicle? Why not using the couple's vehicle? I really think there were two people involved: one who controlled the couple, another who drove the vehicle.
I know: Zodiac, for instance, killed couples all alone, yes, but he killed them in the same scenario where he approached them. This is more difficult: Timothy, Kelly and Cathy weren't in an isolated lover's lane, but next to a dance hall full of people.
And even if Edwards wasn't in Wisconsin and he wasn't involved in Cathy's disappearance, that potential accomplice may have been there...
I know I'm assuming too much.
