My Take

Samuel Little is one of those figures that genuinely unsettles you the more you learn about him. Born in Reynolds, Georgia in 1940, he spent decades drifting across America while the FBI had virtually no idea the scale of what he was doing. He confessed to 93 murders between 1970 and 2005 — targeting women society had largely written off — and the FBI confirmed at least 60, making him the most prolific confirmed serial killer in American history. What haunts me most is how long he operated in plain sight, with prior arrests and convictions that never connected the dots. He died in custody in December 2020 at age 80, but he left behind detailed drawings and descriptions of victims still unidentified. That part — the ongoing effort to name those women — feels like the most important unfinished chapter of this whole grim story.
