The FBI's publication of the images was made possible by a unique set of circumstances: The killer was not only willing to confess his crimes but had a vivid memory of what his victims looked like and sufficient artistic ability to reproduce their faces. A Texas ranger who interviewed Little noticed he liked to draw and gave him art supplies behind bars.
Little, he added, could"inflict trauma on his victim's relatives indirectly with the drawings and that is undoubtedly a small payoff for him." "At this point all we have left is to appeal to the public to help us resolve these cases," said Christina Palazzolo, an analyst with the bureau's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program."It was just in an effort to try to get as many eyes as possible on the unmatched confession details.""We're sensitive and don't want to upset anybody. We are just trying to bring some measure of closure and justice," she told The Associated Press.
The Akron Beacon-Journal reported Friday that a detective summoned Tandarich's daughter, Tonya Maslar, to the police station and showed her a portrait of a woman drawn by Little. The image was labeled"Akron, left in woods, 1990-91."Attorneys for Little have said he is in failing health, and investigators are conscious they could be running out of time. In some cases, investigators will want to interview Little about cases to get more details from him.
