Little, who killed 93 people in 19 US states, died at the age of 80

California, Ta. 31 December 2020, Thursday

Samuel Little, the most brutal serial killer in US history, has died at the age of 90. Police are still searching for the victims. Little, who confessed in the last few years of his life to killing six people in 19 states, had been on the run for decades.

His victims included sex workers, drug peddlers and black women whose murders the government failed to solve and whose cases could not be prosecuted. Authorities have admitted to committing the murders in 2012 while serving a life sentence in a California prison. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't know Little's story.

Police worked hard for more than two years to find the old cases, but to no avail. Despite Little's confession to the murder, police have not been able to identify nearly half of the cases. Families who have been waiting for justice for a long time are frustrated. He died of the disease, according to the California Department of Correction.

With the help of DNA test evidence, he was convicted of three murders in 2016, but he did not confess to the murder until 2012. That same year, he confessed to his crimes for decades in an interview with a newspaper. "I never went to the white population to look for a young woman or a young woman," he said in an interview.
