FBI needs help identifying victims of America's most prolific serial killer
(CNN) - Samuel Little, 79, confessed to strangling 93 victims between 1970 and 2005 last year -- triple the number of victims that Ted Bundy confessed to killing. Now, the FBI is asking the public to help identify more victims of the man they say is America's most prolific serial killer. FBI crime analysts believe all of Little's 93 confessions are credible, but so far they've only been able to verify 50 of them.
