In 2012, a 72-year-old man named Samuel Little was charged with three Los Angeles murders, dating back to the 1980s. Since then, it’s become clear: he is the most prolific serial killer the United States has ever seen.  Roughly half his victims were living in the Southeast at the time of their murders, and many of those cases still need closure--either because the victims are Jane Does, or the confessions haven’t been matched to cases. From The Fall Line comes a special limited series: The Victims of Samuel Little.  We’ll cover both the solved and unresolved Southeastern cases, and how you can help the victims still waiting for justice.  Fall Line Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thefalllinepodcast Find our sources here: https://www.thefalllinepodcast.com/sources Merch can purchased here: https://onestrangething.threadless.com/collections/the-fall-line-podcast Written and hosted by Laurah Norton/ Researched by Laurah Norton and Bryan Worters, with assistance from Jessica Ann, Kim Fritz, Haley Gray, and Lexie Newhouse/Interviews by Brooke Hargrove/Produced and engineered by Maura Currie/Content advisors are Brandy C.
