Crilley, a 23-year-old TWA flight attendant, was raped and strangled in 1971. At the time, authorities initially suspected Crilley's boyfriend was responsible. Authorities now reportedly have forensic evidence that links Alcala to the scene.

Hover, also 23, was a Manhattan socialite. In 1977, her body was found on the Rockefeller estate in suburban Westchester County. Investigators found a datebook inside Hover's apartment that showed she had an appointment with a "John Berger" on the day she was killed. According to police, John Berger is an alias Alcala has used in the past. Reports say he has admitted to knowing Hover but denies killing her.<snipped>

Serial killer Rodney Alcala linked to unsolved 1977 slaying


Investigators in the Bay Area believe they've linked the unsolved 1977 slaying of a young woman to convicted serial killer Rodney Alcala.

Pamela Jean Lambson, 19, went missing in 1977 after a trip to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco to meet with a man who'd offered to photograph her. According to her mother, Jean Lambson, her daughter met the long unidentified photographer at an Oakland A's baseball game, where he gave the teen his business card.

Her body was found soon after near a Marin County trail. For more than 30 years, her killing went unsolved until last year, when Marin County sheriff's investigators reopened the case after getting word from authorities in Southern California about the prosecution of Alcala.

California's highest court has cleared the way for a convicted serial killer to be brought to New York to face charges in two 1970s killings.

It wasn't clear how soon Rodney Alcala, who's awaiting execution in California for five 1970s stranglings, might be brought to a Manhattan court. The California Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected his bid to block extradition, according to court records.

Rodney Alcala was scheduled for arraignment Thursday for the deaths of Trans World Airlines flight attendant Cornelia Crilley and aspiring researcher Ellen Hover, both 23.

It was unclear who would represent Alcala or even whether he would have a lawyer. A former photographer with an IQ said to top 160, Alcala represented himself at his California trial that ended with his convictions in 2010 for the five murders. He is appealing.

Alcala admits killing 2 women in N.Y.
Convicted serial killer is on death row for five California slayings in the 1970s under a sentence imposed by an Orange County judge.
Convicted serial killer Rodney Alcala, who was sentenced to death by an Orange County judge in 2010 for five sex slayings in the 1970s, confessed Friday to killing two other women in New York.
Alcala, 69, pleaded guilty in a Manhattan courtroom to two counts of intentional murder for the 1971 rape and bludgeoning of airline stewardess Cornelia Crilley, 23, and the 1977 kidnapping and slaying of Ellen Hover, 23, whose body was found a year later in nearby Westchester County.
