FBI asking for help in ID'ing Lorain serial killer's victims
"We are hoping that someone -- family member, former neighbor, friend -- might recognize the victim and provide that crucial clue in helping authorities make an identification," said FBI spokesperson Shayne Buchwald. "We want to give these women their names back and their family some long awaited answers. It's the least we can do."
The strategy has worked before, Buchwald said. Women who appeared in two previously released portraits were identified, he said.
From three murders to 90
Little, 78, confessed to about 90 killings last year while serving three consecutive life sentences for murder, the FBI announced last year.
The killings occurred across the country, from Los Angeles to Miami, Houston to Cleveland, all between 1970 and 2005.
Little targeted marginalized and vulnerable women who were often involved in prostitution or addicted to drugs, Christina Palazzolo, a crime analyst for the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program
wrote in a November FBI article . Palazzolo and Angela Williamson, a Justice Department senior policy advisor and ViCAP liaison, who both spoke to Little, said that he remembered great detail from the killings.
He remembered where he was, what car he was driving and could even draw pictures of the women he killed, the FBI said. He was less reliable on the dates of those incidents, however, the FBI said."
. And some of them are not even there. I don't see '72 victim drawing included in this hmm collage. Looking at it, I don't think I know even one of those portrait cases.
