With all the questions raised about the apartments I set out today to try to go through the timeline I have put together for Alcala based on the media links listed above. If anyone finds this helpful, good. If not please ignore. I do not want to provide individual links to every date. I have already spent about four hours going through all my research. From the information I have, I am doubting that he had an apartment in New York except from the period he was a fugitive Sept. 1968 until August 1971 when he was arrested in NH for the assault on Tali Shapiro. Most of his life events happened in California after his release in June 1977.
