  • 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.

Very interesting and insightful but poor narration

The criminal wasn't somebody I had heard of and the whole series of events was something I was unfamiliar with. I purchased the book because it seemed as if it would interest me, and it certainly did. The narrator said at the outset that the focus was very much going to be on the victims and not the perpetrator, and he stuck to that. Interesting interviews, cohesive backstory, well-planned, but oh dear, the narrator. In a way I feel slightly guilty about criticising him because I know that he also wrote it but he was exceptionally poor and irritating. Had an annoying habit of drawing out multiple sentences and ending each on a slightly upturned note. He did that back-to-back continuously, it drove me mad. It sounded very false but also very stilted and to be honest, spoilt the whole thing for me. I would happily listen to something else he prepared but I would be far more comfortable if he didn't read it.

Loving this so far!

Really shocking true crime story, which blows Samuel Little’s story open wide, along with the deep flaws and prejudices in American law enforcement.

Shocking

Unbelievable how someone could get away with killing so many human beings without being caught. Good work in shining a light on the appalling misogyny and racism endemic in the criminal justice system.

Very powerful podcast

This is a brilliant listen. The story itself is troubling but the storytelling is really powerful and it's such an important topic. The hosts focus on giving the victims a voice and holding the police to account which is clearly necessary

Shocking

As I was listening to this I had so many comments on human behaviour in each episode.
But what this series shows is that people are capable of a lot of cruelty towards one another. And I'm not just meaning the murderers.
This is a story of how we think we live in society's that are advanced and in fact we live in ones that are far from it.

Astonishing and alarming

This podcast in incredible and frightening in equal measures. The most concerning issue is that the general consensus is that nothing has changed sufficiently to prevent a repeat.
Be prepared to be shocked but listen anyway - you need to know about this….

Brilliant reminder of awful circumstances

Explains the reality of why some crimes are seen as lesser than others and of who in society actually matters. A must hear which forces you to re-evaluate the prejudices held by yourself - publicly or secretly, depending on how we view societal acceptance or rejection of said views.

2% About Samuel Little, 98% lecture

2% About Samuel Little, 98% lecture that we're not empathetic enough towards prostitutes.

Almost belongs in Social Sciences and not True Crime.

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.
