Killed 3 times as many people as Ted Bundy.
Samuel Little, who surpassed even such lethal predators as Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy to become the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history while going undetected for decades, died at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Wednesday, California corrections officials said. He was 80.
No cause of death had yet been determined for Mr. Little, who had been serving a life sentence at a state prison in Los Angeles County since 2014 for the murders of three women in South Los Angeles during the 1980s.
There was no sign of foul play in connection with Mr. Little’s death, Vicky Waters, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said in an email on Wednesday night. The Associated Press reported that Mr. Little had diabetes, heart trouble and other unspecified ailments.
Mr. Little had confessed to having committed 93 murders between 1970 and 2005, at least 60 of which have been verified by law enforcement officers, the F.B.I. said. He had been convicted of at least eight murders, some of which were solved using D.N.A. analysis.
