1 78-Year-Old Prisoner Confessed To 90 Murders

2 Beginning in an interview that took place in May in a California prison where he is currently being held, the FBI says Samuel Little confessed to a total of 90 murders between 1970 and 2005, sending federal, state and local officials across the country on a hunt to verify his claims. Little, who is in ill health, "may be among the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history," the FBI says. "Thus far, the team has confirmed 34 killings with many more pending confirmation.” Little was "nomadic," and the killings happened across the country, from California and through the South and Midwest to Florida, which may help explain why authorities have not connected them until now. The bureau says Little's confession appears to have been motivated by a desire to switch prisons. Investigators say he remembered the apparent killings in detail, and was able to describe where he was and the car he was driving. They said he could even draw his victims. Little was apprehended at a Kentucky homeless shelter in 2012 because he was wanted in California for a drug charge, the FBI said. It was there that DNA evidence linked him to the murders of three women, which took place in the late 1980s.
