Guilty plea hearing set for suspected serial killer
Odessa American
Suspected serial killer Samuel Little is expected to appear in court at 10:30 a.m. today for a guilty plea hearing, court records show.
The hearing will take place in the 70th District Court of Judge Denn Whalen.
Little, also known as Samuel McDowell, was indicted by an Ector County grand jury in July in connection with an Odessa cold case homicide investigation from 1994 involving the death of Denise Christie Brothers.
He has been previously convicted of the cold-case murders of three women and law enforcement across the country has since connected him to multiple murders. The Odessa American previously reported Texas Ranger James Holland, in conjunction with the DA’s office and Odessa Police Department, was able to use Brothers’ case as a catalyst to continue to gain trust and information from Little in order to solve dozens of other cases.
McDowell is already serving three life sentences, but could be sentenced to another one should he be convicted of the murder of Brothers as well.
