Remains Identified as Serial Killer Samuel Little's Victim After 50 Years

Leola Etta Bryant, who vanished in 1974, has been confirmed as one of the 93 women murdered by Samuel Little.

Human remains found in 1977 in Goose Creek, South Carolina, have been identified as Leola Etta Bryant, who disappeared in March 1974.
Bryant was last seen at the Midway Bar on Reynold's Avenue, where she met Samuel Little, who later confessed to her murder.
Samuel Little, America's most prolific serial killer, confessed to killing 93 women between 1970 and 2005; the FBI has verified at least 60 of these murders.
Advanced DNA testing and forensic analysis, including a facial reconstruction, were crucial in identifying Bryant's remains.
The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office worked with multiple agencies, including the FBI and the University of North Texas, to solve this decades-old cold case.
