He reportedly confessed to 90 murders across the U.S. from 1970 to 2005, but as more information leaks out, it appears that one of the country’s most prolific serial killers killed seven of those people in Georgia.
Sam Little, 78, confessed to murdering women from 1970 to 2005. The FBI reports Little confessed and is sitting in prison in Texas. Two cold cases in Georgia have already shown connection to Little and law enforcement officials are working to see if Little’s information matches up to five others he claims.
“Little chose to kill marginalized and vulnerable women who were often involved in prostitution and addicted to drugs. Their bodies sometimes went unidentified and their deaths uninvestigated,” according to the report.
