A career criminal who had been in and out jail for decades, Little denied for years he'd ever killed anyone."

The only tears I will be shedding is for the victim's families that have lost their loved ones and those who will never get closure.

Unlike most serial killers, he confessed in great detail to the murders he committed. And for the most part (so far), he’s been relatively accurate about the information he’s provided. Sure, there may be more we’ll never know about and he was probably wrong about a lot of things, but I think he left quite a bit to work with towards bringing answers to even more families. I’m hopeful for that.

Exactly. We have plenty of verified Jane Does still, some of whom were found even in the early 1970s. This investigation is FAR from over.

Dunno if you guys have already watched this, but there’s this new miniserie, Confronting a Serial Killer, about Samuel Little and his crimes. Very well done documental, free of corny, bad acted re-enactments.
I’m a true crime buff, yet wasn’t prepared to get completely terrified with the depth of depravation and plain evil of Samuel Little, He was a cold soulless beast, and his crimes were worst than I could have ever imagine

After 44 years, authorities ID woman who was possible victim of most prolific serial killer in U.S. history
Authorities on Tuesday identified skeletal remains found nearly 44 years ago at a Mississippi construction site as Clara Birdlong, a woman they believe was a victim of the late Samuel Little, the most prolific killer in U.S. history.
In December 1977, hunters found her remains near a highway in Jackson County, the sheriff's department said. Birdlong, long identified by investigators as "Escatawpa Jane Doe," was a short Black woman with a distinctive front gold tooth who was discovered about three to four months after she was killed, according to the Jackson County Sheriff's Department.
(…)
Little, who was serving multiple life sentences in prison before he died in late December at age 80, confessed to killing 93 women across the country between 1970 and 2005, including "Escatawpa Jane Doe," whom he did not know by name, according to authorities.
"Investigators confirmed Samuel Little was in Jackson County in 1977, during the approximate time frame of the woman’s death," the sheriff's department said.

The confessions of a prolific serial killer have left L.A. detectives chasing ghosts — Los Angeles Times
I know not everyone can access Apple News and I could not open the article in my browser. I’m terrible at this, but this article in the LA Times had links to 2 PDFs with lists and descriptions of Little’s unidentified victims. You can probably search for Samuel Little on the Los Angeles Times website and find it.

I also tried to upload the 2 files, but they were too large for this website to accept.
