About this listen

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.

Went into this thinking fascinating crime story. Came out realising how broken the legal system and society are. Mind blowing how what women did for a living allowed so many women to die. The system and society MUST do better. These ladies are humans. 1st and foremost.

Legal systems and society need to do better.

Wow! This is the first I’ve heard of this case, it is unbelievable that this actually happened and how the police failed the victims, but luckily he finally got caught!
Superbly told, absolutely fascinating listen!!

Unbelievable Story

Overall really interesting listen, but it seems some parts were simply glossed over, like the court cases. I wish each episode was double the length - and that one episode wasn't named Peanut M&Ms (that seemed like a strange side tangent to dedicate basically a full episode to).

Should've been longer

Such an interesting story the sound bites are brilliant, but the Liverpudlian narrator takes the edge off. If you’re from the UK to hear a scouse talk about ‘crime’ it doesn’t quite work lol

Interesting story…ironic narration

Very good series, it’s important to hear more from the victims’ side, well produced.

My only reservation is I hope the presenter and producers read (or listen on Audible) to Julie Bindel’s The Pimping of Prostitution and refrain from referring to ‘sex work’ and ‘sex workers’.

These poor women
