A man awaiting retrial for the 1979 killing of an Orange County girl has been indicted in the murders of four women during the 1970s.
Although he allegedly killed the women in Los Angeles County, 62-year-old Rodney Alcala will be tried in Orange County by prosecutors from both counties.
Alcala is in custody awaiting his third trial in the death of 12-year-old Robin Samsoe, 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.
