Last year, 79-year-old Samuel Little confessed to murdering 93 individuals – almost all women – from 1970 and 2005. And then on Sunday, the FBI confirmed 50 of those murders, including one in Covington, KY in 1984.

In an interview with the FBI, Little confirmed the killing of a a “dishwater blonde” after meeting her outside a bar in downtown Columbus, OH.

“She’s white. Blonde hair. Dishwater, dishwater blonde they call it. And short,” he said.

After meeting her in Columbus, Little said the female asked him to take her to Miami and stopped in Covington along the way.

“Yeah, she did give you a hippy feeling. I think she was some kind of hippie, yeah,” Little said. “We got to Covington and then we continued through Covington. And there was a park that they were having a festival in. And she heard the music and–that band in there. And by her being a hippie type, she ‘whoa’ she want to get to that.”

After being pulled over by a police officer, Little then drove to the top of a nearby hill and strangled her in the backseat of his car.

“She was like partially concealed by the vegetation,” Little said. “I left her there.”

According to the report, Little explained to the FBI that he has a photographic memory and has been sketching his victims during his confessions.
