Episode 60: Samuel Little the Most Prolific Serial Killer in American History

Among all the notorious serial killers who dominated headlines in the 1970s and 1980s, none were as prolific and cunning as Samuel Little, infamously known as the "Choke and Stroke Killer.”

Similar to Joseph DeAngelo, the notorious Golden State Killer, Little continued his reign of terror well into old age, evading capture until the 2010s when advancements in DNA technology finally led to his apprehension.

However, unlike Joseph DeAngelo, Samuel Little's criminal activities were not entirely clandestine. He had been suspected and even arrested for numerous sexual assaults and murders over the years. The baffling question of how and why he was repeatedly released, allowing him to claim the lives of potentially 93 women over a span of thirty-five years, paints a grim picture of societal neglect and indifference towards marginalized communities.

The narrative of Samuel Little's life and eventual confession is so bizarre it's hard to believe, delving into realms of darkness and depravity that defy comprehension. In the first installment of our series, we delve into the enigmatic journey of Samuel Little, a figure who etched his name in infamy as the most prolific serial killer in American history.
