(CNN) - Samuel Little, 79, confessed to strangling 93 victims between 1970 and 2005 last year -- triple the number of victims that Ted Bundy confessed to killing. Now, the FBI is asking the public to help identify more victims of the man they say is America's most prolific serial killer. FBI crime analysts believe all of Little's 93 confessions are credible, but so far they've only been able to verify 50 of them. Before FBI agents knew about his connection to these dozens of murders, Little was already imprisoned for beating and strangling three women. Texas Ranger James Holland and two FBI crime analysts traveled to California to interview Little over the course of May 2018.
