The Knoxville News Sentinel reported in December that a cold case investigator with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office had identified the victim who Little called “Martha.” The Knoxville mother’s body was found in a wooded area in eastern Knox County in 1975.Ĭunningham’s body was found by a pair of hunters on the afternoon of January 18, 1975. He was convicted in California of three slayings in 2013 and pleaded guilty to another killing last year in Texas.Īuthorities in Knox County, Tennessee, said Monday that a woman named Martha Cunningham was likely a victim of Little’s. In August, he pleaded guilty to murdering four women in Ohio. Investigators around the country are still trying to piece together his confessions with unidentified remains and unsolved cases from decades past. “That’s the only one that I ever killed by drowning,” he said. She left with him in his Lincoln, and they parked by a bayou. Light-coloured, honey-brown skin,” he said with a small smile. In another video, he described a victim in New Orleans. They are haunting portraits, mostly of black women. The FBI provided 30 drawings of some of his victims – colour portraits that were drawn by Little himself in prison.
Many were originally deemed overdoses, or attributed to accidental or undetermined causes.
Some of his victims were on the margins of society. He says he strangled his 93 victims, nearly all of them women. The 79-year-old Little is serving multiple life sentences in California. Investigators also provided new information and details about five cases in Florida, Arkansas, Kentucky, Nevada and Louisiana. In a news release on Sunday, the FBI announced that federal crime analysts believe all of his confessions are credible, and officials have been able to verify 50 confessions so far. Samuel Little, who has been behind bars since 2012, told investigators last year that he was responsible for about 90 killings nationwide between 19. The inmate who claims to have killed more than 90 women across the United States is now considered to be the most prolific serial killer in the country’s history, the FBI said.
