10 Serial Killer Crimes That Took Years To Solve
1. Samuel Little
Little is probably not a name you are yet familiar with as he was only convicted in 2012 and has been continuously confessing to murders, the most recent confession came in 2019.
His crimes began as early as 1961 with him breaking into a store, he was then arrested 26 times over the next 14 years. These were not yet murder charges though, his first murder charge would come in 1982 for the murder of a 22 year old. He was then passed to another investigation which was unfortunately thrown out due to distrust in the witnesses.
Upon his release he moved and began a series of attacks on women, he was arrested and served two years for these crimes but once released continued his reign of terror. It is believed he murdered at least 10 more women during this time.
He was arrested in 2012 for drug charges but then DNA evidence connected him to multiple murders from the 80s. Following this DNA trail he was charged in 2014 on multiple counts of murder and has been in prison since 2016. During his time in prison he has been slowly confessing to more and more violent acts, often drawing pictures of the women he's killed.
