Serial Killer Linked to Unsolved R&B Star Murder?

The decades-old disappearance and murder of Frankie Little, an original member of the R&B group The O'Jays, is under renewed scrutiny thanks to the tenacious investigation of former reporter Richard Jones. Little vanished from East Cleveland in the late 1970s, his remains later discovered as an unidentified John Doe in Twinsburg.

Jones has developed a theory connecting Little's murder to serial killer Samuel Dixon, who is serving life sentences for multiple murders. This investigation led to uncovering a connection between the property where Little was last seen and Otis Mays, an individual who had previously lived with Dixon.

Twinsburg Police are currently investigating Dixon's potential involvement, though they have stated there is no direct evidence linking him to Little's death. Dixon himself has denied any knowledge of Frankie Little. Despite these denials and the passage of time, Little's family hopes for closure as the investigation continues.

Samuel Dixon, a convicted serial killer, confessed to four murders in 2001. His crimes, which involved extreme violence and dismemberment, bear some similarities to the condition in which Little's body was found. Dixon's history in the Cleveland area and his past association with Otis Mays are key elements in the ongoing inquiry.
