A 78-year-old convicted murderer has confessed to committing 90 murders in the United States over several decades.
Samuel Little found guilty in 2014 of three murders in California, confessed to killings in multiple states during an interview with law enforcement officials in May. He is already serving a life sentence for these muders. Police have linked Little, described by the FBI as having a “dark, violent streak”, to 34 murders and are working to corroborate many others.
The agency stated on Tuesday it is working with state and local agents and detectives to find out if all Samuel Little’s confessions are true.
A former boxer, Little would stun his victims with a powerful blow before strangling them, meaning many of the deaths were attributed to drug over doses or natural causes, the agency said.
Authorities suspect the unsolved homicides Little said he committed took place between 1970 and 2005 and spanned across at least 14 states stretching from California to Maryland.
A total of 90 murders in all, of which law enforcement has so far verified 34 killings.
“Little will be confirmed as one of, if not the most, prolific serial killers in US history,” Mr Bland said.
Little is in poor health and is likely to spend the remainder of his days in prison in Texas, according to FBI.
