Today we are thrilled to have author, journalist and true crime legend Jillian Lauren with us.
For over two years Jillian Lauren interviewed murderer Samuel Little, developing a deep relationship with him, through which she was not only able to solve cold homicide cases, but also revealed Little to be the most prolific serial killer in American History, the FBI themselves now confirming over sixty murders.
For decades this monster, that Jillian bravely confronted, roamed the country, from coast to coast, seeking out marginalized women and strangling them to death, many of his crimes never linked together.
Jillian turned her experiences into the book BEHOLD THE MONSTER: CONFRONTING AMERICA’S MOST PROLIFIC SERIAL KILLER, an amazing addition to the true crime genre, and her story was also turned into the Starz television series CONFRONTING A SERIAL KILLER.

Among all the notorious serial killers who dominated headlines in the 1970s and 1980s, none were as prolific and cunning as Samuel Little, infamously known as the "Choke and Stroke Killer.”
Similar to Joseph DeAngelo, the notorious Golden State Killer, Little continued his reign of terror well into old age, evading capture until the 2010s when advancements in DNA technology finally led to his apprehension.
However, unlike Joseph DeAngelo, Samuel Little's criminal activities were not entirely clandestine. He had been suspected and even arrested for numerous sexual assaults and murders over the years. The baffling question of how and why he was repeatedly released, allowing him to claim the lives of potentially 93 women over a span of thirty-five years, paints a grim picture of societal neglect and indifference towards marginalized communities.
The narrative of Samuel Little's life and eventual confession is so bizarre it's hard to believe, delving into realms of darkness and depravity that defy comprehension. In the first installment of our series, we delve into the enigmatic journey of Samuel Little, a figure who etched his name in infamy as the most prolific serial killer in American history.

Leonard Lake and Charles Ng are two of the most infamous and horrible names in all of true crime, the first to document their horrific deeds on video tape. The savagery and inhumanity of these two ex-Marines is soul shattering and evil beyond belief.
Today we document the life of Leonard Lake: his childhood in San Francisco, his time in Vietnam, his exploits as a hippie and pot grower on a commune in the redwoods of Mendocino County, how he used a unicorn goat at a Renaissance Festival to seduce a woman named Cricket, who’d become an accomplice in his deviant sexual escapades.
Investigators believe as many as twenty-five bodies, including at least two infants, would eventually be burned, buried and spread throughout the forests of the Sierra Nevada foothills where Cricket had a cabin and let Leonard Lake and his friend Charles Ng live.

A KILLER IN THE REDWOODS.
On Monday, November 2, 1998 Wayne Adam Ford walked into the Eureka Sherriff’s Department in Humboldt County, California saying he didn’t want to hurt people anymore. In his pocket was a woman’s severed breast.
For years the community had lived in terror as body parts were found in waterways and beaches, and, working as a long haul truck driver, Wayne had left a string of victims across the state, just how many we’ll never know.
Join us as we delve into the life and mind of the rarest of serial killers, one who not only appears remorseful, but ended his murder spree by turning himself over to the police.
