Investigators hope a serial killer's sketches of his victims will help solve cold cases. But they recognize that seeing the portraits could be traumatic for the victims' loved ones.
— hoping that someone, somewhere, will recognize the face of a long-lost loved one in an image drawn by the killer himself.
The 79-year-old California inmate went on to produce more than 30 color portraits, which the FBI hopes will help law enforcement match Little’s confessions to victims who, in many cases, have yet to be identified. An FBI crime analyst who’s been working on the Little case for more than a year said investigators felt they had little choice but to publicly release the portraits.
Little’s portraits recently allowed police in Akron, Ohio, to provide answers to the family of Roberta Tandarich, whose decomposing body was found in a wooded area nearly 30 years ago. Authorities had long ago ruled the cause of death as “unknown/undetermined,” but her family suspected she had been murdered.
