LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Convicted murderer Samuel Little, who confessed to strangling 93 people and was considered by the FBI to be the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history, died on Wednesday at a California hospital, the state corrections department said. He was 80.

Little had been serving three consecutive sentences of life without parole for the killing of three women in Los Angeles County during the late 1980s, murders to which he was linked through DNA that matched samples found at the crime scenes.

He was convicted of first-degree murder by a Los Angeles County jury on Sept. 25, 2014, and began serving his prison sentence about two months later.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Little began confessing to additional murders to a Texas Ranger who interviewed him in his California prison cell in 2018, and ultimately admitted to killing 93 people across the country by strangulation between 1970 and 2005.

The FBI said investigators have since verified 50 of those confessions, with many more pending final confirmation, making him the deadliest U.S. serial killer on record.

Authorities have said he appeared to have targeted mostly vulnerable young Black women, many of them prostitutes or drug addicts, whose deaths were not well-publicized at the time and in some cases not recorded as homicides.

Many of his victims deaths were originally ruled overdoses or attributed to accidental or undetermined causes, and some bodies were never recovered, according to an only FBI profile of the killer.

Little served two prior sentences in a California state prison, including a four-year term ending in 1987 for assault with a deadly weapon and false imprisonment, and stint of about 14 months ending in April 2014.

FBI videotapes made of his jailhouse confessions showed Little, sitting in front of a cinder-block wall in blue prison scrubs and gray knit cap, sometimes appearing bemused or smiling as he recounted the circumstances of the killings.

He had been incarcerated at a state prison in Lancaster, California, north of Los Angeles, but died early Wednesday morning at an outside hospital, the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a statement...

Also I bet the truly successful ones never get caught it are professional assassins. There's definitely a cartel member out there with a higher body count, this shit is just the media wanting to rank these animals like a video game fighter roster.

...During approximately 700 hours of interviews, however, Little provided details of scores of slayings only the killer would know.

A skilled artist, he even provided Mr Holland with dozens of paintings and drawings of his victims, sometimes scribbling their names when he could remember them, as well as details such as the year and location of the murder and where hed dumped the body.

By the time of his death, Little had confessed to killing 93 people between 1970 and 2005.

Most of the slayings took place in Florida and Southern California.

Authorities, who continue to investigate his claims, said they have confirmed nearly 60 killings and have no reason to doubt the others.

"Nothing hes ever said has been proven to be wrong or false, Mr Holland told the CBS news magazine 60 Minutes in 2019.
The numbers dwarf those of Green River killer Gary Ridgeway (49), John Gacy (33) and Ted Bundy (36).

Almost all of Littles victims were women, many of them prostitutes, drug addicts or poor people living on the edges of society...

..When he began recounting the other slayings, authorities were astounded at how much he remembered.

His paintings, they said, indicated he had a photographic memory.

One killing was solved after Little recalled the victim wore dentures.

Another after he told Mr Holland hed killed the victim near a set of unusual looking arches in Florida.

A victim he met outside a Miami strip club in 1984 was remembered as being 25-years-old with short blond hair, blue eyes and a hippie look.

As he continued to talk, authorities across the country rushed to investigate old cases, track down relatives and bring closure to families.

Little revealed few details about his own life other than that he was raised in Lorain, Ohio, by his grandmother...

There was another serial killer who gave lots of details "only the killer would know" and it turns out he was just deducing these details from the questions the cops were asking him

That was on a netflix doc

There's a few that aren't professional that would have gotten away with it. The BTK Strangler Dennis Rader only got caught because he got upset someone wrote a book about him and he started taunting police because he wanted to cement his own legacy. Israel Keyes while caught, has so many murders the police don't know about and Keyes himself doesn't know how many people he killed or even remember them.

Considering Trump down played a virus that has killed more than 200,000, and had the ability to change that outcome yet did nothing, this executed human didn't even come close.

Nah they're all fucked in the head. Professional assassins don't really exist in the way that hollywood portrays them. Most of them are just gangsters that do the wetwork for the family.
