Associated Press Samuel Little appears in a courtroom for his arraignment in Los Angeles on March 4. Little, 72, awaits trial in Los Angeles as authorities in numerous jurisdictions in California, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi and Ohio scour their own cold case files for possible ties to Little. One old murder case, in Pascagoula, Miss., already has been reopened. DNA results are pending in some others.
