He was one of four children born to Ana Maria Gutierrez and Raul Alcala Bucor. By all accounts, the family enjoyed a pretty normal middle-class life in San Antonio. All of the Alcala children attended Catholic school. And Rodney did really well in school. He worked really hard. He maintained really great grades, like no warning signs, really.

None of Rodney's teachers would ever remember him being a problem student. Actually, on the contrary, they said that he was considered respectful and kind. And they all said that he was among the most intelligent children in the class. Wow. Crazy. Now, in 1951, Rodney's grandmother did sadly become terminally ill, and she wanted to return to Mexico to live out her final years.

Now, in 1951, Rodney's grandmother did sadly become terminally ill, and she wanted to return to Mexico to live out her final years.

So the family packed up everything they owned, and they moved across the border. Despite the obvious differences, you know, in culture and everything, it seems like life in Mexico was pretty happy for the Alcala family, at least for the first few years. In 1954, when Rodney was just 11, his grandmother, who he had always been really close to, ended up passing away.

And of course, that left a giant hole in the family structure. Yeah, of course. Her passing was then soon followed by the very abrupt departure of Rodney's father, who just left the family one day and decided to return to the U.S.

oh like he left them with absolutely nothing he was the provider of the family what the hell left them with like nowhere to live left anna maria to figure it all out and all of those kids were just left without a father wow and rodney was 11 holy shit what is interesting though is that obviously I'm sure these experiences were disruptive to him to some degree, and especially all the kids.

But for some reason, he seemed pretty unaffected by both of these things, his grandmother dying and his father just leaving the family.

Yeah. But it was also a very different time. So it kind of went without notice. After graduating from high school in 1960, Rodney followed his older brother's footsteps and he decided to join the U.S. Army. So he relocated to boot camp in North Carolina, where he trained as a paratrooper and also took on additional clerical work. In 1962, while he was training in North Carolina.

I almost said that with an accent. North Carolina. I think that's what happened. And then I was like, don't do that. I feel like, damn. While he was training there, his father actually passed away unexpectedly. Even though, you know, Raul just abandoned the entire family.

Almost 10 years earlier at that point. His passing obviously affected his family pretty deeply. But just like with his grandmother's passing years earlier, Rodney seemed pretty unfazed. Yeah, something's off. Something's definitely off. About a year after his father's death is when he really started to exhibit actually unusual behavior.
