Step inside one of the most unsettling chapters in American criminal history. Samuel Little, once an overlooked drifter, would later be identified as the most prolific serial killer in the United States. For decades, his crimes went unnoticed, scattered across states, buried in cold case files, and tied to victims whose stories were never fully told. In this episode, we trace Little’s life from his troubled beginnings to the chilling confessions that shocked investigators nationwide. Through psychological insight, case analysis, and a focus on the victims who deserved justice, we explore how one man evaded capture for so long and how the truth finally came to light. This is a story about failure in the system, forgotten lives, and the investigators who refused to let those voices remain silent.
