Serial Killer’s Death Leaves Detectives Looking for Ghosts and One Woman’s Journey to Fight Long Covid

Samuel Little, the most prolific serial killer in the U.S. died at the end of last year and had confessed to a slew of murders that have yet to be closed. Many of those murders took place in the Los Angeles area leaving detectives chasing ghosts as they try to connect dots and corroborate the killings. There is one final push for any information in these cases as one of the lead investigators is retiring this month and any evidence and confessions are hard to verify because of time and changing cityscapes. James Queally, criminal justice reporter at the LA Times, joins us for more.

Next, we’ll take a look at one woman’s path through rehab as she tries to fight the effects of long Covid. Samantha Lewis got Covid in October 2020 and has been dealing with issues such as brain fog, fatigue, balance issues and more since then. She had to reduce time at work and place reminders in her house of even the simplest tasks such as brushing her teeth to get by. She was finally on the path to recovery after seeing doctors at Northwestern Memorial Hospital’s Neuro Covid-19 clinic in Chicago who recommended cognitive rehab. Pam Belluck, health and science writer at the NY Times, joins us for how Samantha is doing a year later.
