OMGosh............ I watch Justice TV channel.

Lots of things in the past all around the country that are similar.

Take a look at Justice TV. Many real cold cases, etc.

Check out their program episode titles.

Documentaries, actual photos, and dramatizations.

Seriously, I hadn't had a 'clue' that there have been so many tragic situations for many years.

Thanks for the alert, O/P.

Born in Georgia, Samuel Little was raised by his grandmother in Lorain, Ohio. By the time he was 16, Little was picked up on his first criminal charge for breaking and entering.

Here's another detailed report...

I don’t think there will be as many serial killers in this modern age of surveillance cameras and forensics...these people will be caught much sooner.

i have been kind of keeping up with this story.

It probably is true but yet how much is true.

these type of people love to have the spotlight shining on them at all times.

how this guy got away with all these killings is beyond me. he must be one excellent person at keeping his mouth shut for all these killings. He never bragged about these killings to anyone, wow, he is good at keeping his mouth shut.

why is he now opening his mouth about all these killings.

that is why how much is true thought for me.

(After watching episodes on Justce TV): It's almost always a control issue.

Many of them are very, very cunning, controlling, 'particular'.

The problem is that they are so controlling that they eventually go out of control.

Sometimes overly 'controlling' people simply can't stop themselves, even if they wanted to.

I've always thought it's a form of addiction. Maybe some sort of anti-addiction medication could help with this 'control' problem.

I think it could be a physical/medical problem in some (underline 'some') people.

Well, all we can do is be careful.

So many times, it seems, people were at risk when they were walking alone. Night time, daytime, it doesn't matter.

He has been all over our local news lately. He has confessed to killing a lady from a nearby town in AL although I think he actually killed her in Memphis TN.

He is a cold hearted serial killer taking lives without a second thought.

I have absolutely no second thoughts about what to do with people like this.

I watch the tv series Cold Case, shocking how many are never caught for over thirty years, if ever, and then too late for justice as they have lived their lives and don't have many left to live in prison when sent there.

After watching many 'World's Most Evil Killers' episodes on Justice TV, 'cunning, ariticulate, intelligent' seem to be recurring descriptions.
