Georgia native confesses to killing 90 around U.S., including 3 from Ga.

Source: Atlanta Journal

The question isn’t whether 78-year-old Middle Georgia native Samuel Little is a killer — it’s how prolific a killer he is.

Already serving life for strangling three California women, the old unknown boxer and drifter has lately been making confessions, so far claiming he’s killed more than 90 people across the country over four decades. Included among them are three from Georgia: Two women in Bibb County and a Columbus woman found just over the Alabama border.

Authorities are trying to vet his statements, while scouring files to see if he could be connected to more cold cases. Little is from tiny Taylor County, west of Macon.

In the Macon area, Little claims he killed 18-year-old Fredonia Smith, whose parents told The Telegraph newspaper she’d gone out for ice cream and never returned on July, 10 1982. Her remains were found a month later in someone’s backyard, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office. Little also said he killed a woman whose skeletal remains were discovered on the edge of some woods near Riverside Drive on Sept. 8, 1977. Her identity is still a mystery, though the Georgia Bureau of Investigation last year had an artist make a bust of what her face might’ve looked like.

He was a murderer, no doubt, but the Texas rangers allowed him to "confess" to murders he never did, just so they could close the cases.

So I'd be willing to bet this Georgia guy is doing the same.

What a world this would be if violence against women were taken seriously.
