move-prisons
DALLAS A 78-year-old inmate who says he killed about 90 people as he
moved around the country for nearly four decades offered his confessions
as a bargaining chip to be moved from a California prison, authorities
say.
The FBI said in a statement Tuesday that Samuel Little offered the deal in
exchange for being moved from California State Prison in Los Angeles
County, but it didn't say why he requested the transfer, where he asked to
go or whether his offer was accepted. It did say that Little, who is in
poor health and relies on a wheelchair, will likely stay in jail until his
death in Texas, where he was brought in September to face charges in the
1994 killing of a woman in Odessa.
Little was convicted in 2014 of killing three women in separate attacks in
Los Angeles County in the 1980s, and prosecutors said during his trial
that 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.
A Texas Ranger, James Holland, traveled to California earlier this year to
interview Little about the 1994 Odessa killing. That interview resulted in
a series of confessions and near daily discussions "to create the most
accurate accounting possible of Little's crimes," according to the FBI
statement.
"Little remembers his victims and the killings in great detail," the FBI
said. "He remembers where he was, and what car he was driving. He draws
pictures of many of the women he killed. He is less reliable, however,
when it comes to remembering dates."
Little, who also went by the name Samuel McDowell, targeted vulnerable
women who were often involved in prostitution and addicted to drugs,
authorities say. Once a competitive boxer, he usually stunned or knocked
out his victims with powerful punches before he strangled them while
masturbating.
"With no stab marks or bullet wounds, many of these deaths were not
classified as homicides but attributed to drug overdoses, accidents, or
natural causes," the FBI said.
Based on information Little has provided, authorities in several states
have already confirmed his ties to 34 killings that happened between 1970
and 2005, not including the three he was convicted of in California.
Investigators in Mississippi and South Carolina recently announced that
they had closed cold cases based on Little's information. And police in
Maryland and other states are looking into whether it can help them solve
their own unsolved killings, including the 1973 strangulation in Omaha,
Nebraska, of Agatha White Buffalo , whose body was found upside-down in a
55-gallon drum.
"He went through city and state and gave Ranger Holland the number of
people he killed in each place," said Christina Palazzolo, an FBI crime
analyst who collaborated with Holland. "Jackson, Mississippi one;
Cincinnati, Ohio one; Phoenix, Arizona three; Las Vegas, Nevada
one."
Palazzolo said Little lived a nomadic life from the time he dropped out of
high school and left his Ohio home in the late 1950s. He would shoplift
and steal to gather the money to buy alcohol and drugs, but he never
stayed in one place for long, she said.
Enzo Yaksic, co-director of Northeastern University's Atypical Homicide
Research Group, said Little's wandering lifestyle appears to set him apart
from the habits of American serial killers such as Gary Ridgway, the so-
called Green River Killer.
"Little is unique in that modern day serial murderers rarely travel the
distances he claims to have traversed and instead select vulnerable
victims from their own communities," Yaksic said. "This behavior, paired
with his selection of vulnerable people, no doubt contributed to his
longevity. Most serial killers in today's society kill two or three
victims and are caught within a few years."
Ridgway, who is serving a life sentence, pleaded guilty to killing 49
women and girls, making him the most prolific serial killer in U.S.
history in terms of confirmed kills, though he has said he likely killed
more than 71. Ted Bundy confessed to 30 homicides from about 1974 to 1978
and John Wayne Gacy killed at least 33 young men and boys in the 1970s.
Both of them were executed.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
