Little was arrested on September 5, 2012, at a homeless shelter in Louisville, Kentucky, and extradited to California to face a narcotics cost, after which authorities used DNA testing to ascertain that he was involved in the murders of Linda Alford, killed on July 13, 1987; Guadalupe Duarte Apodaca, killed on September 3, 1987; and Audrey Nelson Everett, killed on August 14, 1989. All three ladies were killed and later found on the streets of Los Angeles. Little claimed that his mom, Bessie Mae Little, was a teenage prostitute who had abandoned him; authorities believe that she might have given beginning to him while she was in jail. Proposition 8 proponents argued that the district court docket's injunction was relevant solely to the 2 couples who had been the plaintiffs within the case or, at most, applied to the 2 counties whose clerks have been named as defendants. It took over two years to fully clear her name of all criminal and civil costs. In 1961, Little was sentenced to 3 years in prison for breaking into a furniture retailer in Lorain; he was released in 1964. By 1975, he had been arrested 26 instances in eleven states for crimes including theft, assault, attempted rape, fraud, and assaults on authorities officials.
