The US's most prolific serial killer Samuel Little has died Wednesday morning at a Los Angeles hospital. He had confessed to 90 slayings across 19 states and the FBI ruled his confessions credible.
Little spent his days in jail drawing his victims’ faces. He admitted to detectives that he began his murder spree in 1970 and ended it in 2005.
He gave details about where he first met each victim, what they were wearing, and how they hid their remains. He described that he started by punching the back of his victims’ heads, knocking them out, then strangling them to death.
Last year, the FBI named Samuel Little “the most prolific serial killer in the country’s history.” They were stunned to learn that some victims Little described were initially classified as accidental or overdosing victims.
In 2014, he was sentenced to three life sentences. He once told a New York magazine that slaughtering people felt “like heaven” for him.
