No, not at all. He had no trouble with his coursework. And after that, he transferred to UCLA, where he ended up graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1968. Wow. Now free of academic obligations, he embarked on the next phase of his life, where he had a lot more free time. I think that's where things went really wrong. That's not great.

In between being released from the hospital and getting his degree, though, Rodney did attack one of his first documented victims, Morgan Rowan. Fortunately, she was able to escape him not once, but twice.

Yes. In 1965, she was hanging out in the parking lot of a teen nightclub with some friends, and that's when she first saw Rodney. Nothing seemed off about him in that moment. In fact, she actually thought he was pretty attractive, thought he was charismatic. So, sorry, how old was he around this time? I think he's like early 20s, probably 22 at this point.

So fucking crazy. Morgan runs into Rodney again three years later in the summer of 1968. I hate this. This was during her going away party. She and her family were actually going to be moving from California to New York. So her friends decided to take her out for one last celebration all together on the Sunset Strip.

There was a big group of people, and while they were out, Rodney happened to join the group by chance because he's living around that area. And Morgan said she immediately felt creeped out. She was very nervous.

As she and her friend sat in a car waiting to head wherever they were going next, Rodney ended up slipping in behind the wheel and was like, oh, I'll give you guys a ride to wherever you're going next. Nope. I don't know if it was like a situation where maybe somebody was drinking, so he drove that car. He was being the designated. Mm-hmm.

But he hopped behind the wheel and he was like, oh, why don't we all head to my house? Like, I've got some weed. We can all smoke together. And of course, nobody else knows what happened. So they're like, yeah, sure. Sounds good.
