The Choke and Stroke Killer PART 2 · 10 Minute Murder | Bingeable True Crime Stories

• 0:02
  Discretion is advised. This is tenmitted murder. No matter how many years had
• 0:27
  passed, and despite the huge amount of murders he had committed, the details
• 0:31
  of every crime he had ever committed stayed fresh in Samuel's memory. During his
• 0:37
  confessions, he was able to provide detailed descriptions of his victims, drawing accurate
• 0:42
  colored sketches that led to the identification of multiple women that he killed. The
• 0:47
  only areas where his confessions lacked accuracy were the exact kind of clothing that his
• 0:53
  victims wore and the specific dates and years of each crime. Out of the
• 0:58
  ninety three murders that Samuel gave detailed confessions to, the FBI were only able
• 1:03
  to verify just over half, but to this day, they believed that the
• 1:07
  remaining confessions are all credible. They think that with time, they will be
• 1:11
  able to confirm even more of the murders that are linked to Samuel. In
• 1:15
  twenty nineteen, the FBI decided to make several of Samuel's confessions available to the
• 1:21
  public, hoping that somebody would recognize the details and helped the bureau identify more
• 1:26
  victims. One of Samuel's earliest unidentified victims was a transgender teenage girl who he
• 1:33
  believed he had killed in the early nineteen seventies. Tell me about Mary An,

• 5:23
  So you go to Cincinnati, you mess around on Buying Street, and
• 5:26
  then eventually you guys both get in your car and you cross over the bridge
• 5:30
  into Kentucky. Tell me about going into Kentucky. We got to Covington and
• 5:34
  then we continued through Covington, and there was a part that they were having
• 5:43
  a festival there, and she heard her music, and she had offered the
• 5:46
  band in there and buy her being a hippie type, and she, oh,
• 5:51
  he wanted to get to that. When the police came on and peeked
• 5:55
  into in a car room, you really wanted me to move out of here,
• 6:00
  so we still going in there. I took her utherly right round,
• 6:04
  winding round. They got hills out in Kentucky, and the road winds and
• 6:10
  around on the hills. I seen a little short road going up the hill,
• 6:15
  and in the up top there was, uh, vegetation, wasn't no
• 6:19
  holes in that, And so I pulled up in the in and concealed up
• 6:25
  the car. And in the little vegetation up there on top the hill,
• 6:30
  it was it was like uh a dirt road. Okay, it was like
• 6:34
  dirt. The grass was growing in the middle between two tracks. When I
• 6:39
  left her up in there in that little road up there on the side of
• 6:44
  the roads, she would left partially concealed, but the vegetation I left her
• 6:48
  there. Samuel confessed to her murder. He committed sometime between nineteen ninety two
• 6:54
  or nineteen ninety four when he killed a woman he had been shoplifting with Despite
• 6:59
  a sketch of them and Samuel believing that her name had been Ruth, she
• 7:02
  was never matched to any unexplained deaths or missing persons cases North Little Rock.
• 7:09
  Tell me what that girl looked like? Oh man, I loved to I
• 7:14
  forget her name. Oh wait, I think was Ruth. Okay. She
• 7:17
  was a heavy set, big little yellow girl and had buck teeth. He
• 7:24
  had a gap twins. He bey was and she she was less uh honey
• 7:30
  colored scame and she had uh like her hair was not really long. Was
• 7:35
  I called? Do you think she was? Was? She was about five
• 7:40
  seven? How much thinks she waited? She laded about cooks to two hundred,
• 7:45
  about hundred seventy. Pretty pretty big girl. Yeah. Now where'd you
• 7:48
  beat her at? Okay? He dit me in the red crack house,
• 7:51
  I would They were heard about six other girls. Was sitting on the porch.
• 7:58
  I stopped to go there. I seen a girl. That's why I
• 8:01
  stopped. We stayed together two days or more. They about three days.
• 8:07
  We was going shop lifting, and we went to sears. We went to
• 8:11
  a course and that's where I got busted. They took me to jail,
• 8:20
  and she went and stayed in the car in the magic of Crowgers. Okay,
• 8:24
  I guess he got tired of her landing on his property in that car.
• 8:31
  He called the pot the station where I was at in north from u
• 8:33
  uh north thouther my south. They dropped the charts so he could come down
• 8:39
  and get the girl and cart him. They covered loose, so we was
• 8:46
  headed toward bent. I whipped off the road and back into their little woods.
• 8:54
  He was a corn field back there. I pulled through it and on
• 8:58
  the other side of cornfield was a trash pile. My part of the car
• 9:03
  face it out where I haven't see anybody coming in. So I I pulled
• 9:05
  her out of a car. She's too big for me to car carry her,
• 9:09
  so I just pulled out a car laid on the trash that lit there.
• 9:16
  So was it like a cornstock pile or was it? Yeah? A
• 9:18
  bus your cornstocks? What could you see from there? Uh? I could
• 9:22
  see the highway and uh in the woods is that way? But it's right
• 9:28
  outside was a little up. Uh. I was about ten miles from it.
• 9:33
  In nineteen ninety three, Samuel alleged that he had strangled a petite black
• 9:37
  woman in Las Vegas and provided the detailed sketch of what he remembered about her
• 9:41
  appearance. She was gonna thin, dark skin, about forty years old when
• 9:48
  she got there, cussin. I think she was a drug heady because she
• 9:52
  wouldn't a bit out there? How cool was she? She was about five
• 9:56
  five five three, and she waited hundred and ten and twenty? Okay,
• 10:01
  what about her? Did you know of? The boy? Came? She
• 10:03
  that was the son, and she called him over it and he came over.
• 10:09
  Hey, ain't ship land and everything? And yet now hold was he?
• 10:13
  He was about twenty or about nineteen twenty? Okay? Blackmail or black
• 10:18
  mill? And where were you out when you met her? Look? Who
• 10:22
  was on the one avenue? Okay, on that down in the black section
• 10:26
  one in Jackson? Where did you eventually take her? Her body too?
• 10:31
  I was a hedge what California? So that drove out of Las Vegas,
• 10:37
  and then I seen a motail and the road leading up to the rotail.
• 10:43
  You know, there a lot of brushing and brushes us beside the road before
• 10:48
  he got to that motail. That's where I dropped, pulled up her abode
• 10:52
  out and rolled it down there, and I heard a secondary road or noise
• 10:58
  that meant she was still ruling. So you basically roll her into a pretty
• 11:01
  big ditch that's got a bunch of Well, it wasn't a ditch. It
• 11:05
  was the slope. Okay, they didn't live let the slope veg vegetation had
• 11:11
  grown up a slope and looked like you though, you would think that the
• 11:16
  rule would just be fled, but actually the rule was going now the slope
• 11:22
  way, and that's why actually rule. As he aged, Samuel's health began
• 11:28
  to decline, and in December twenty twenty, he passed away in a hospital.
• 11:33
  Now the FBI have to hope that Samuel gave them all the details they'd
• 11:39
  need to eventually identify each of his victims. The sad truth about the unproven
• 11:43
  cases is that these are the victims that Samuel correctly guessed would never be reported
• 11:48
  missing, or the victims who were mistakenly ruled as dying due to an accident
• 11:54
  or an overdose. They are the victims whose deaths were never investigated until now.
