Little, who had diabetes, heart trouble and other ailments, died (recently) at a California hospital.
...
Little denied for years he’d ever killed anyone.
Then, in 2018, he opened up to Texas Ranger James Holland, who had been asked to question him about a killing it turned out Little didn’t commit. During approximately 700 hours of interviews (including a TV appearance on
60 Minutes!), however, Little provided details of scores of slayings only the killer would know.
A skilled artist, he even provided Holland with dozens of paintings and drawings of his victims
...
"Nothing he’s ever said has been proven to be wrong or false,”
...
Once a strong, strapping boxer..., he was now using a wheelchair to get around.
Holland has described Little as both
a genius and a sociopath
...
The ranger did work tirelessly to create and maintain a bond with the killer during their hundreds of hours of interviews,
bringing him favorite snacks such as pizza, Dr. Pepper and grits and discussing their mutual interest in sports. He also gave Little assurances that he wouldn’t be executed.
Holland would address Little by his childhood nickname, Sammy, while Little called Holland Jimmy and once told the Los Angeles Times he’d “found a friend in a Texas ranger.”
...
“I say if I can help get somebody out of jail, you know, then
God might smile a little bit more on me,” (Little) said.
...
When he began recounting the other slayings, authorities were astounded at how much he remembered.
His paintings, they said, indicated he had a photographic memory.
...
He claimed he developed a fetish for women’s necks after
becoming sexually aroused when he saw his kindergarten teacher touch her neck.
