He attended Hawthorne Junior High School, where he had problems with discipline and achievement. In 1956, after being convicted for breaking and entering into property in Omaha, Nebraska, Little was held in an institution for juvenile offenders.

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). As Tami Abdollah reported in the ''Honolulu Star-Advertiser'' (based on a 75-minute interview with Los Angeles detectives), Little has said he then "began traveling more widely and had more run-ins with the law”; Abdollah said he had been arrested in eight states for crimes that included driving under the influence, fraud, shoplifting, solicitation, armed robbery, aggravated assault, and rape. By Little's description to these interviewers, he took up boxing during his stints in prison, referring to himself as a former prizefighter.

Little was arrested on September 5th, 2012, at a homeless shelter in Louisville, Kentucky, after authorities used DNA testing to establish that he was involved in the murder of Carol Elford, killed on July 13th, 1987; Guadalupe Apodaca, killed on September 3rd, 1987; and Audrey Nelson, killed on August 14th, 1989. All three women were killed and later found on the streets of Los Angeles. He was extradited to Los Angeles, where he was charged on January 7th, 2013. A few months later, the police said that Little was being investigated for involvement in dozens of murders committed in the 1980s, which until then had been undisclosed. In connection with the new circumstances in Mississippi, the LaPree murder case was reopened. In total, Little was tested for involvement in 60 murders of women committed in the territory of many US states.

The trial of Samuel Little for the murders of Elford, Nelson, and Apodaca began in September 2014. The prosecution presented the DNA test results as well as testimony of witnesses who were attacked by the accused at different times throughout his criminal career. On September 25, 2014, Little was found guilty and was sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of parole. On the day of the verdict, Little continued to insist on his innocence. As of ~~2016~~, Little was serving his sentence at the California State Prison, Los Angeles County.
