Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 5!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This week, We're on a road trip. I'm joined by my sister, Kirrah, as we take on one of the most disturbing cases in modern American crime history.

His name was Samuel Little, and for decades he moved through cities virtually invisible. Between the 1970s and early 2000s, Little murdered women across the United States while law enforcement repeatedly failed to connect the cases or, in many instances, failed to investigate them at all.

We're going to break down Samuel Little's, how racism, sexism, and systemic neglect allowed his victims’ deaths to be misclassified or dismissed, and how a series of late-life confessions finally forced the FBI to reckon with the true scope of his crimes.

This episode isn’t just about the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history, it’s about the systems that enabled him, the lives that were overlooked, and the uncomfortable reality that justice only arrived when it was too late.

Grab your drink, because the poison in this episode is the Road Trip.

If you want to drink with us, you’ll need cognac, rye whiskey, crème de cassis (black currant) liqueur, lemon juice, lingonberry preserves, salt and sugar.

The Road Trip:

• 1 oz cognac
• 1 oz rye whiskey
• ½ oz crème de cassis or black currant liqueur
• 1 barspoon lingonberry preserves
• 1 oz lemon juice
• granulated sugar, for rim
• kosher salt, for rim
• lemon twist, for garnish (optional)

Combine equal parts salt and sugar and use the mixture to rim a chilled serving glass. Add the remaining ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake hard for about 20 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with lemon - or don’t.

Enjoy!
