  • Summary

  • Please note: this series features adult language and references to murder, violence, and sexual abuse that may be upsetting to some listeners. Discretion is advised. 

    How did the deadliest serial killer in US history get away with murder for over 40 years? 

    Samuel Little was serving life in prison for killing three women, when he began to confess to a string of murders. And once the admissions started, the list didn’t stop - his total murder count reached 93 victims across 19 US States. Most of them were vulnerable women - sex workers, drug addicts, or both.

    Journalist Benjamin Zand leads an investigation that is both a true crime story and a forensic examination of how US law enforcement failed to stop the country’s most dangerous serial killer. 

    Along the way, Ben is joined by former sex worker, turned safety campaigner, Tika Thornton, herself a victim of child sex trafficking aged 12. Together they ask: what turned Samuel Little into a serial killer? How did he evade justice for so long? And could the same thing happen again today?

    An Audible Original produced by Zandland and Cup and Nuzzle.

Definitely worth a listen

Benjamin Zand and cohost Tika Thornton do a great job of narrating and adding context/critical insight into this awful case. Love the balance of the emphasis on the victims as well as the glance at the details of Little’s background and development. The content may be triggering to those with sensitivity to or anxiety about descriptions of real victims of rape, sex trafficking, and murder.

True Crime With Heart

Fantastic podcast. The story is told in such a way that it focuses on the victims more so than the perpetrator.

This podcast focuses on the why of the story and asks the questions that other podcasters would skip over.

I definitely recommend this podcast

Excellent, terrifying listen!

This was a very informative, but heartbreaking podcast. It was very well done, and gave not only details about Little and his horrific crimes, but also gave a voice to his victims, who were not even thought of as humans by the people who were supposed to protect them. I highly recommend this podcast.

Shocking story boring podcast

The story of Samuel Little is tragic and horrific. This podcast goes back and forth between compelling anecdotes and generic time filler. Could have been better. Could have been worse. Today I am that bored at work.
