He accepted the murder of more than 90 women

Nearly every day for the past several weeks at a Texas prison in the US, a heavily guarded man in a wheelchair walks into an interview room where he tells investigators the story of his gruesome crimes. His hair has turned white, wrinkles are visible on his face, his body has become weak due to diabetes and heart disease, but anyone gets shocked listening to his deeds. Makes anyone's hair stand on end.
Used to search for victims in nightclubs, bars and streets
The officers tell that every day he remembers the story of his crime. Tells about the murders committed years ago. He describes how he used to pick up women who appeared to be easy prey from bars, nightclubs and on the streets and brutally strangle them to death in the back seat of his car.
Has accepted the murder of more than 90 women
The name of this person is Samuel Little. Age 78 years. Investigators say he confessed to having committed more than 90 murders at different times between 25 and 50 years ago. Lytle is already serving three life sentences for the murders of three women in Los Angeles during the 1980s. However, authorities suspect that he murdered women in at least 14 states. Investigators say they have gathered strong evidence linking Lytle to some 30 murders and see no reason to doubt his confession.
The most dangerous serial killer in American history
"Over time, we will find evidence in all cases," says Bobby Bland, Texas-based district attorney for Ictor Country. After that we hope that Samuel Lytle will be declared one of the most dangerous, vicious serial killers in American history. That summer, Lytle was indicted by a Texas grand jury on another 1994 murder charge.
He kept killing year after year, no one even suspected
A serial killer had been committing murders one after the other for many years, but no one suspected that there was a pattern in these murders. This thing is shocking, disturbing. However, it is also a fact that even the most effective and dynamic police solve only three fourth of the murder cases. This means that thousands of murderers go unpunished every year.
Mostly poor and drug addicted women were the victims
Lytle has confessed that he committed these murders in several states. Most of his victims were women who were poor and addicted to drugs, alcohol or both. His family background was such that the family either did not register his missing report or lodged it after several weeks. Because of this nothing much was achieved in the investigation.
Got caught like this
Little was caught by the law because of the DNA evidence. In 2012, Detective Marcia and her partner, Detective Mitzi Roberts, collect DNA evidence in the murder of two Los Angeles women that matches Little's DNA. Afterward, the two track him down to a homeless shelter home in Kentucky. DNA evidence gathered over the years linked Lytle to the murders of several women. Then, this year, a Texas ranger named James Holland visited Lytle in the Los Angeles County Prison. He manages to win Little's trust and he confesses his crimes. Little Rose started giving information about new cases.
No regrets
Investigators who questioned Little say he appears to enjoy the attention he is getting and tells the story of his gruesome crime with great 'favour'. There was no sign of remorse on his face or body language as he recounted the killings, according to officials. Not only that, he remembers every detail of the murders committed decades ago. He remembers where he disposed of the dead bodies of the women after killing them.
Kidnapping, rape and loot were also executed
Although Little was arrested more than 100 times in different states in more than 50 years, but his strings were not linked to the murders. He was caught on charges of kidnapping, rape and robbery.
