[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] The body of a woman discovered in 1981 in DeKalb County, Georgia, USA, has been confirmed to be the work of Samuel Little, considered the worst serial killer in American criminal history.

According to CNN on the 10th (local time), the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) stated that Little confessed to abducting and murdering a young Black woman in Tennessee in the early 1980s.

The police suspect that Little abducted the woman in Tennessee and murdered her in DeKalb County, Georgia, and have begun collecting evidence.

In this process, to identify the body found 39 years ago, the police forensically reconstructed the skull last year and made it public, and a family volunteered for genetic analysis.

Based on the DNA sample obtained from this family, the police confirmed that the deceased woman was Patricia Parker. She was 30 years old at the time of her death.

GBI explained, "Investigative authorities in Georgia and Tennessee interviewed Little and obtained more specific circumstances confirming that the body was a murder victim."

Little confessed to killing a total of 93 people from 1970 to 2005, and CNN reported that among them, he murdered five people including Parker in Georgia and Tennessee.

Standing 190 cm tall and a former boxer, he committed serial murders by knocking victims unconscious without using firearms or knives, then strangling them to death.

Most victims were vulnerable groups such as drug addicts or sex workers, and many cases were classified as drug overdose or accidental death due to minimal external injuries.

Little is currently serving a life sentence for murder.
