Autopsy shows Brian Laundrie died by suicide, attorney says

CNN —

Samuel Little, the California inmate who claims to be one of the most prolific serial killers in US history, has been linked to 60 deaths, a Texas prosecutor said Friday.

Ector County District Attorney Bobby Bland said investigators have confirmed Little is connected to deaths in 14 states.

Little claims to have killed people between 1970 and 2005 in 14 states from Florida to California. Authorities had previously confirmed he was linked to 34 killings.

Wise County Jail

Samuel Little has confessed to at least 90 killings.

Little, 79, is in a California state prison, according to corrections department spokeswoman Vicky Waters. He is serving life sentences for three murders.

He has been cooperating with investigators from different states and is in bad health, Bland said. In November, Little was charged in Ector County for a 1994 killing.

Little was indicted a week ago in Ohio, accused of killing two Cleveland women decades ago, according to a statement from the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office.

Prosecutor Michael O’Malley said Little has confessed to five killings in Ohio, including three in the Cleveland area. Cuyahoga County’s cold case unit was able to identify two of the three victims, O’Malley said.

Little is charged with four counts of aggravated murder and six counts of kidnapping in the deaths of 21-year-old Mary Jo Peyton in 1984 and 32-year-old Rose Evans in 1991, O’Malley said.

LIttle was indicted Friday in Hamilton County, Ohio, for two killings in the Cincinnati area in the 1980s.
