Episode 61: Samuel Little Part 2

In part two of our series on Samuel Little, the most prolific serial killer in American history, we detail how he was captured and brought to justice, then examine the wild story of his confessions, which includes a cast of larger-than-life characters like something out of a thriller novel.

First there’s LAPD detective Mitzy Roberts, a Southern California surfer girl turned crime fighter.

Then there’s writer and journalist Jillian Lauren who went from exotic dancer and escort to serial killer whisperer, using her charm, wit and intelligence to get Samuel Little talking.

And finally, Texas Ranger James Holland, a divisive figure, hailed as a hero by some and condemned as a loose cannon by others.

Together, this unlikely trio will reveal to the world the unimaginable and terrible crimes of Samuel Little.

And a huge congratulations to cohost Christa Carmen whose novel THE DAUGHTERS OF BLOCK ISLAND has won the prestigious Bram Stoker Award, the highest honor in the world of horror writing!
