A man convicted of murdering three women in California and recently charged with killing a woman in Texas could be connected to more than 90 murders committed across more than a dozen states and three decades, Texas authorities said Tuesday.

Samuel Little, 78, has provided investigators details on a "multitude" of murders he may have committed from 1970 to 2005 in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Illinois, Ohio, California, Indiana, Arizona, New Mexico and South Carolina, according to the Wise County Sheriff’s Office. Little is currently incarcerated at the office's jail.

If Little is found guilty of the murders he's provided information about, he "will be confirmed as one of, if not the most, prolific serial killers in U.S. history," according to a statement from Ector County District Attorney Bobby Bland.

Ted Bundy used to brag that his murders were in the triple digits. Hopefully the city light will dim briefly for this demon as well.

Little-reported fact: African American gentleman are hugely over-represented among serial killers.

Yes.

Which is why I have little faith in the profiling we hear about.

It is simply going with the odds. But once you start going with the odds you are going to miss a lot of stuff that falls outside the norm.

The more you do that the more you are going to distort the odds and the more you are going to miss.

Odd. I’ve always read that African Americans are rarely serial killers. Of course, that may be because they are rarely detected, since in many cases they kill in areas and among populations where there are already a lot of killings and it’s hard to detect a pattern. I remember when the Atlanta child killer turned out to be black and local, and nobody wanted to believe it.

It us interesting that at 78 he can remember details of murders now totaling in the nineties.

California sentences someone to the death penalty but they end up dying of old age in prison. Send him to Texas. They know how to end that nonsense.

Yeah, I first got interested in the topic of serial killer demographics when I found out (by looking into it myself years ago) that in my area (So Cal) something like 6 of the prior 10 serial killers were black, despite blacks averaging only around 10% of the population over the same period. Across the country the over-representation isn’t THAT egregious, but it’s there.

It's possible but when I hear of a mass murderer like this guy I always think of Henry Lee Lucas.

Maybe

And you wouldn’t have thought about it much to arrive at that conclusion.

I haven’t had the choice to not be aware of such things in my life, so I will point out to you that all of the bottom three cause bleeding, which leaves evidence that can be hard to clean up. Bludgeoning also tends to be noisy, plus it will allow the victim a chance to scream.

Shouldn’t this waste of DNA have been thrown into a wood shredder a long time ago? No? Maybe cali will make him a DIM state delegate or something?
