Samuel Little, America’s most prolific serial killer, dies

The Angels Samuel Little, America’s most prolific serial killer with nearly 60 confirmed victims, has died. He was 80 years old.

Little, who suffered from diabetes, heart problems and other conditions, died in a California hospital on Wednesday. He was serving a life sentence on multiple murder charges.

California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Vicky Waters said cause of death will be determined by a coroner, but there is no evidence of a criminal act.

Little, a professional criminal who had been in and out of prison for decades, denied for years that he had murdered anyone.

Then, in 2018, he started with Texas Ranger James Holland, who was asked to question him about a murder that turned out not to have been committed by Little. During the approximately 700 hours of interviews, Little gave details of dozens of murders that only the killer would know.
