Summary

During our summer break, we're re-broadcasting our four-part Samuel Little series in hopes of helping to identify more of his unnamed victims; this first re-release also includes a number of developments and updates that have come since the series was original released.

The first episode in this four-part series looks at who serial killer Samuel Little is, how he got away with murdering nearly a 100 women over four decades, and provides scaffolding for the what's to come: an exploration of the more-than-50 Southeastern cases.

Because a number of the Southeastern victims are either Jane Does or are currently considered "unmatched confessions," the public's help is needed in resolving their cases. Call 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit tips.fbi.gov with information.

The Fall Line® is an investigative true crime podcast focused on cold cases, unsolved murders, missing persons, and unidentified John and Jane Does in the United States. We deliver in-depth reporting and interviews with law enforcement and forensic experts, examining unsolved homicides, disappearances, serial crimes, and the evidence behind them. Victim-centered and research-driven, we focus on cases still seeking answers.
