A serial killer 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 between 1970 and 2005 in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Illinois, Ohio, California, Indiana, Arizona, New Mexico, South Carolina, according to the Wise County Sheriff's Office. Little is currently incarcerated at the Wise County Sheriff's Office 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.

Little, also known as Samuel McDowell, is serving three life sentences for strangling three women in the Los Angeles area between 1987 and 1989. He was convicted of those murders in 2014, according to NBC Los Angeles.

In July, Little was charged in the 1994 murder of Denise Christie Brothers, in Ector County, Texas, and extradited from California to that state. A Texas investigator "was able to use this case as a catalyst to continue to gain trust and information from Little in order to solve dozens of other cases," said Bland in the statement.

Samuel Little drew the portrait from memory nearly two decades after he says he killed the woman in 1996 in Los Angeles. It is one of 16 haunting pictures that police say the serial killer made in prison of his victims - and who remain unidentified.

The FBI released the portraits Tuesday in hope of generating tips that might help authorities identify the women Little killed, and finally close out the long-cold cases.

After the sketches were released, Anthony Jones told WREG-TV he believes one of the women pictured is his mother, Priscilla Baxter Jones.

Jones was last seen on Christmas Eve in 1996, when her son was 15.

The body of the 36-year-old woman, who was a prostitute, according to her son, was found two weeks later in the Mississippi River. Family members said she had been raped, stabbed and strangled.

During Little's 2014 trial in Los Angeles, prosecutors said he was likely responsible for at least 40 killings since 1980. Authorities at the time were looking for possible links to deaths in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Texas.

But Little was not forthcoming with information at the time and Bland credits Texas Ranger James Holland with gaining Little's trust and eventually eliciting a series of confessions.

Holland traveled to California last year to speak with Little about cold cases in Texas. That led Little to be extradited to Texas and his guilty plea in December in the 1994 strangulation death of Denise Christie Brothers in the West Texas city of Odessa. But Holland's conversations with Little have continued, even after Little was returned to California to serve his sentences, and it was Holland who determined that he was responsible for 93 deaths, said Bland, who received an update from Holland this week.

Information provided to Holland was relayed to law enforcement agencies in several states, leading to a revolving door of investigators who traveled to California to corroborate decades-old deaths.

Among them were investigators from Ohio, where prosecutors on Friday announced charges against Little in the 1981 killing of a Cincinnati woman and where he was charged last week in the deaths of two women in Cleveland. He previously was charged in a second Cincinnati killing and confessed to another one in Cleveland, though investigators are still trying to identify the victim in that case.

He explained that Little's victims often were suffocated or strangled, in many cases leaving few physical marks and leading investigators to determine the women died of overdoses or of natural causes.

"There's still been no false information given," Bland said. "Nothing has been proven to be false."

Gary Ridgway, the so-called Green River Killer, pleaded guilty to killing 49 women and girls, making him the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history in terms of confirmed victims, though he said he killed 71.

The FBI is asking for the public’s help in matching the remaining unconfirmed confessions. ViCAP, with the support of the Texas Rangers, has provided additional information and details about five cases in hopes that someone may remember a detail that could further the investigation.

If you have any information linked to Little’s confessions, please contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit at tip online at tips.fbi.gov.

 
"The remains of a woman found in Dade County almost 40 years ago have finally been identified. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says her name was Patricia Parker, and GBI investigators believe she was the victim of serial killer Samuel Little.

In 2018, Little told the Texas Rangers that he murdered a young Black woman in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in the early 1980s, the GBI said in a press release.

Investigators from Georgia and Tennessee, according to the GBI statement, met with Little and gathered "more details that led them to believe the remains found in Dade County were the woman Little had taken in Chattanooga and killed in Georgia."

Last year, the GBI unveiled a forensic reconstruction of the woman's skull and asked for the public's help in identifying her. A family came forward, the GBI added, and DNA samples obtained from them positively identified Parker, who was 30 years old at the time of her death."

5 bucks says the Rona finished this story.

Maybe some prisons are using the virus as a way to do what they themselves are not legally allowed to on the older inmates at least.

(CNN)Nearly 44 years after hunters discovered human remains near a Mississippi highway, authorities have identified the victim as Clara Birdlong -- who they believe was killed by Samuel Little, America's most prolific serial killer.
[....]
Two years prior to his death, Little had confessed to multiple murders across the Southeast, including the killing of "Escatawpa Jane Doe," whom he had said he did not know by name. The sheriff department's statement did not provide details about the confession and the crime.

In Birdlong's case, hunters found the skeletal remains of the victim, who had been known as "Escatawpa Jane Doe," in December 1977, the sheriff's department said. Investigators learned that Little was arrested in Pascagoula, Jackson County's seat, in August 1977 for petit theft.

A medical exam back then found the remains belonged to a "small in stature African American woman, with a distinctive front gold tooth and possibly wearing a wig" who was likely killed three or four months prior, according to the sheriff's department.

Over the years, there were several attempts to identify the woman -- including with the help of facial reconstructions, computer composites and DNA analysis. None were successful -- until January 2021, when Othram, a Texas DNA research facility, was contracted by Mississippi authorities to create a family tree based on the victim's DNA.

There was a hit from the DNA: a possible distant cousin of the victim who was living in Texas, according to the sheriff's department.

An investigator found the cousin and talked to her 93-year-old grandmother, who said Birdlong, born around 1933, went missing from Leflore County, Mississippi, in the 1970s, the department said.

Another cousin in Texas who remembered the woman's disappearance in the same time period, said Birdlong went by the nickname "Nuttin," had a gold front tooth and wore a wig.

A woman in Leflore County -- where family members said Birdlong went missing in -- said she remembered the woman left the county in the 1970s with an "African American man who claimed to be passing through Mississippi on his way to Florida," the sheriff's department said.

"Clara was never seen or heard from again," the department said.

Earlier this month, an investigator requested DNA samples from several people who were closely associated with Birdlong to compare DNA. With the help of the Texas lab, officials confirmed the DNA was a match to the grandmother authorities had spoken to, the sheriff's department said.

Her cause of death remains undetermined, the sheriff's department said.

Little is considered a prime suspect in Birdlong's death, the department said.
