Mass murderer’s pics of some of his 90 victims
A SERIAL killer who confessed to murdering 90 people has drawn portraits of some of his victims in the hope they can be identified.
Samuel Little, 78, created 16 pictures for FBI investigators who are trying to solve dozens of cold-case crimes.
FBI spokeswoman Shayne Buchwald “We are hoping someone – family member, a former neighbour, friend – might recognise the victim and provide that crucial clue in helping authorities make an identification.
“We want to give these women their names back and their family some longawaited answers. It’s the least we can do.”
Victims who appeared in two previous portraits were identified. Former bare- knuckle fighter Little confessed to the killings last year while serving three life sentences for murder in an LA prison.
He also committed crimes including assault, burglary and armed robbery in 24 US states over a period of 56 years.
Investigators say he targeted marginalised and vulnerable women who were often involved in prostitution or drugs and would not get much attensaid: tion. Angela Williamson, of the US Justice Department, said Little remembered “great detail” about the killings, which, if all true, would make him the most prolific serial killer in US history.
She said: “We want to give answers to their families or friends who are wondering what happened to them.”
