AN EXPLOSIVE soon-to-be-released documentary is set to explore the chilling taped confessions of one of the most prolific serial killers in American history.
The Channel 4 feature, Confessions of a Serial Killer, uncovers new details on serial murderer Samuel Little.
FOUR DECADES, 90 MURDERS
Little, now 78 and serving life in prison, claims to have committed 90 murders, starting in 1970 and spanning four decades until 2005.
With never-before-heard recordings, the documentary filters through more than seven hours of taped police confessions.
In one chilling confession, Little can be heard telling police: “I try to trace back to when I became attracted to a woman’s throat.”
“A lot of these women have a death wish. Yeah they want to die. I love all of them,” he laughs.
Working with the FBI, existing evidence is used against new information from Little’s confessions to confirm at least 46 of the murders and link him to another 12.
I try to trace back to when I became attracted to a woman’s throat.”

In a disturbing police tape, Little says: “I can’t pick a favourite, when they die, they’re all favourites. They all belong to you. I’ll see you in hell.”
If Little’s confessions are found to be true, it puts him on course to be the most prolific killer in American history, ahead of feared household names such as Ted Bundy, who butchered 30 women.
HOW HE GOT AWAY WITH IT
The documentary poses the question: “How can a man who says he killed up to 93 women in 40 years stay on the loose for so long?
“He’s literally hunting these women for close to four decades and getting away with it.”
Investigators say Little operated in several states, and targeted “marginalised and vulnerable women” including prostitutes.

Some bodies were never identified and deaths were left uninvestigated.
Little explains: “I didn’t take chances. I didn’t have nobody with me and I pick on mother****ers that wouldn’t be missed. That’s why I didn’t get busted a long time ago.
“I didn’t waste no time digging bodies. I got so crazy I wanted more. That’s a curse that I have got.”
GALLERY OF VICTIMS
Earlier this year, a chilling gallery of unidentified murder victims drawn by Little was released in a bid to find out who they were.
Little drew the haunting pictures from memory while in jail for other murders, claiming they were slaughtered during a depraved killing spree in 1996.
It is hoped the women, thought to be drug addicts, troubled women and prostitutes on the margins of society, will be identified by friends or loved ones.
Authorities are looking for possible links to deaths in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Texas.
Notably each image of the women features red lips with oval eyes which suggests that Little had a certain type he liked to murder.
One has purple hair while another has a headband.
Many of Little’s female victims, were found strangled and nude below the waist, and police concluded these murders as sexually-motivated.
Little, a former boxer, also had a penchant for punching women and then throttling them while masturbating.
Immediately after dumping the bodies he would leave town and move on to the next place where he would either take a rest from murdering or go out killing.
Little was brought to Texas for questioning in the case from California, where he was convicted in 2014 in the deaths of three women in Los Angeles County and sentenced to life without possibility of parole.
DNA evidence collected from old crime scenes was used to match samples of his stored in a criminal database.
