Samuel Little was an American serial killer who confessed to murdering 93 people, mostly women, and convicted in 2012 for the murders of Carol Ilene Elford, Guadalupe Duarte Apodaca, and Audrey Nelson Everett. In 2018, he was convicted for the murder of Denise Christie Brothers. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has confirmed Little's involvement in at least 60 of the 93 confessed murders, the largest number of proven cases for any serial killer in United States history. He allegedly murdered women across 19 states over 35 years ending around 2005. The number of murders he confessed to, if confirmed, would make him the most prolific serial killer in United States history, according to Ector County, Texas District Attorney Bobby Bland.
