    RLRC Original | Sam Little Part 2

    RLRC Original | Sam Little Part 2

    In this episode, Woody continues his dive into the haunting narrative of Samuel Little, a notorious killer who operated under the radar for years. Samuel's troubled upbringing in Georgia shaped his criminal tendencies, leading to a series of arrests for heinous crimes such as kidnapping, rape, and robbery. Despite limited technology hindering law enforcement, Samuel's criminal spree across states finally ended with his arrest by the San Diego Police Department for sexual assault and attempted murder. 
    With the aid of DNA technology, Samuel was linked to multiple homicides, unveiling a trail of violence and unsolved murders. Collaborative efforts and advancements in DNA testing ultimately brought Samuel to justice, underscoring the significance of technology and cooperation in solving cold cases.

RLRC

I absolutely love this show! I listen to the show all the time!

Megan Haley ,

Amazing!!!!

My favorite podcast! I turn it on and all of a sudden my hour long drive is over! Woody and crew keep you captivated, make you laugh at times and give you things to think about. ETA: Mike needs to go. Too many irrelevant topics he drones on an on about. He has mentioned his first wife several times, always says something derogatory. Why mention her? Still hung up on her maybe? I hope your kids don’t listen. That’s sad. Also, can we please go back to Woody telling HIS stories and not things he reads on the internet or submitted by fans? The intro clearly says you don’t get the facts off the internet and these are things you saw with your own two eyes. That’s not really true anymore.
Lastly, it would be great if the commercials weren’t just thrown in in the middle of sentences. And less lengthy with Agovino going on and on.

SuzanBird ,

For Real

Stumbled upon this podcast and have been binge listening from the beginning and I just want to say, that you Woody- have got such a way of telling stories that will leave a person hooked!!! I really believe that you are using your talents to the best for us! Thank you and keep up the great real work!!
