Little has confessed to 93 killings—50 of which have been confirmed; all of which have been deemed credible by crime analysts—across 37 cities in 29 states between 1970 and 2005.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has confirmed Samuel Little's status as the"most prolific serial killer" in U.S. history.
During his active years, Little preyed on people living on the margins of society—prostitutes, drug addicts and other vulnerable women who would not, he believed, be a priority in terms of police time. Even when the FBI did find a correlation between the various unsolved murders or missing people cases, there was no hard evidence linking Little to the crimes—only suspicions.
Why is he confessing now? Little is in poor health, say authorities. In an interview with CBS, Little suggests a faith in God may help explain why he has chosen to admit to his crimes.
