The worst serial killer in US history has died of old age in prison

[Long Duck Dong]

Samuel Little
60 confirmed murders, 93 suspected.
35 year span 1970-2005
10-11 states
Every person he killed with his bare hands

He said he was totally innocent until his health started failing 2 years ago and was prodded by relentless investigators, one of who eventually "befriended" the dying man. His IQ was only listed at 96 but it's suspected it would have been much, much higher with schooling since he spent much of his youth in the streets or in jail. His memory was photographic. Police suspect he committed all 93 murders because unlike many serial killers he didn't brag about what he had done and every single murder he confessed to was proven to be him or he couldn't be excluded from. His memory was excellent in his old age, not only remembering remarkable details about his victims but he could describe every one of the vehicles that were owned by the victims

He had probably done his last murder 7 years prior to being arrested on drug charges in 2012 but his DNA did him. Even after they linked him to a couple of murders, it took years for police to realize the scope of his murder spree. Pretty amazing considering he did many of his murders during the period of modern forensics and advanced crime solving. He murdered women and transexuals of all races but said he was careful to keep far away from white neighborhoods where a missing housewife or teenage girl would generate instant manhunts.

Another fascinating factoid is that considering the amount of trouble he got in, you'd figure they would have got him a long time ago. He had a criminal record in at least 24 states.

He selected his victims by the slenderness or beauty of their necks. If a woman had an ugly neck, they'd be safe from him. He was a rapist/killer.

I don't get the fascination with serial killers.

Low iq to kill people.
Any behavior that threatens your own freedom is low iq

That's not really how it works though...you can't be low IQ, get that many murders and get away from the police for as long as he did.

That's like saying anyone who smokes, drinks alcohol or eats fast food is low IQ because it's a threat to your health and might shorten your life span

His IQ is 96, which is slightly higher than the average serial killer.

There are some smart people who drink, eat junk, don't take good care of themselves, because they simply don't care. But in general lower IQ people will do those things simply because it feels good and thy don't have the knowledge or curiosity of how it affects their body.

His brain wasn’t in terrible shape

Those drawings are the creepiest shit ever. And really impressive considering the time since he saw them.

I can’t believe this defective actually got me to feel bad for women for some moments

Imagine being born too physically weak to defend yourself against any man essentially, and there are broken sickos like him walking around.

I wonder how rare this is. How many serial killers in their primes like he was, just roaming around killing and getting away with it?

Blacks took the serial killer crown.

First Tiger Woods, now this.

Congrats.

The worst serial killers in US history have killed way more than that... many 1000x more. And theyve been cheered on for it.

never understood it either

fukking bastard

black privilege..... they didn't dare to suspect him. .......racial profiling and all that shit.

look at all the dead due to that

I don't get the fascination with serial killers.

People in general are fascinated by tragedy whether it be by war, natural and manmade disasters, extinction events, pandemics etc.

But that factoid wasn't a fascination with the killer himself. It's the fact that police throughout the entire US, dozens and dozens of different departments both big and small, had this guy in their hands during the time he was doing his killings and it took 42 years before one figured out they had a killer on their hands. Most serial killers lay low and stay underneath the radar, this one killed and raped, leaving his DNA all over the place while doing non-stop lesser crimes all along the way, and still managed to get away with it for so long.


Edit:
And police only would have solved a few of his murders if this guy hadn't opened up when he started dying. Did they not collect DNA evidence on the other murders? I don't get it

they didnt dare to suspect him because they were scared of the black privilege and racial profiling in the 1970's ?

Why didn't Trump pardon him?
