In October 1984, he was arrested for kidnapping, beating, and strangling 22-year-old Laurie Barros, who survived. Little moved to California, where he stayed in the vicinity of San Diego.
Due to mistrust of witness testimonies, Little was acquitted in January 1984. Prosecution witnesses identified Little in court as a person who spent time with Mount on the night before her disappearance. However, while under investigation, Little was transferred to Florida to be brought to trial for the murder of 26-year-old Patricia Ann Mount, whose body was found in September 1982. A grand jury declined to indict him for her murder. In 1982, Little was arrested in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and charged with the murder of 22-year-old Melinda Rose LáPree, who had gone missing in September of that year. By 1975, he had been arrested 26 times in 11 states for crimes including theft, assault, attempted rape, fraud, and attacks on government officials. In 1961, Little was sentenced to three years in prison for breaking into a furniture store in Lorain he was released in 1964. Little claims that he took up boxing during his stints in prison, referring to himself as a former prizefighter. He has said he then "began traveling more widely and had more run-ins with the law”, being arrested in eight states for crimes that included driving under the influence, fraud, shoplifting, solicitation, armed robbery, aggravated assault, and rape. Little moved to Florida to live with his mother in his late 20s, working at various times as a cemetery worker and an ambulance attendant (by his own account). In 1956, after being convicted of breaking and entering into property in Omaha, Nebraska, Little was held in an institution for juvenile offenders. He attended Hawthorne Junior High School, where he had problems with discipline and achievement. Soon after his birth, Little's family moved to Lorain, Ohio, where he was brought up mainly by his grandmother.
Samuel Little was born on June 7, 1940, in Reynolds, Georgia, to a mother he claimed was a prostitute.
