Little had a photographic memory and was able to describe where he met and killed the victims, where he left their bodies and what the victims looked like. More than 60 of Little's confessions have been definitively matched to victims through DNA evidence and/or extensively corroborated interviews. During the course of these interviews, Little confessed to committing 93 murders between 19. Little was interviewed extensively by Texas Ranger James Holland from June 2018 to shortly before his death in December 2020. “It’s critical that anyone with information comes forward, as time is running out.”

“The information contained in these narratives could be the missing piece to solving some of these murders,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. AUSTIN – The Texas Rangers, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Program and the United States Department of Justice are releasing new details in more than a dozen unsolved murders committed by serial killer Samuel Little, AKA Samuel McDowell, in hopes of bringing closure to these cases.
