    RLRC Original | Sam Little Part 2

    S16 : Ep10 | In this episode, Woody continues his dive into the haunting narrative of Samuel Little, a notorious killer who operated under the radar for years.

Despite limited technology hindering law enforcement, Samuel's criminal spree across states finally ended with his arrest by the San Diego Police Department for sexual assault and attempted murder. 

    With the aid of DNA technology, Samuel was linked to multiple homicides, unveiling a trail of violence and unsolved murders. Collaborative efforts and advancements in DNA testing ultimately brought Samuel to justice, underscoring the significance of technology and cooperation in solving cold cases.
