Daisy McGuire was a 40-year-old Black woman from Houma, Louisiana, whose body was found on February 6, 1996, in the 900 block of Magnolia Street. Her remains were described as frozen and badly battered; she had been beaten and left in a cramped, hidden spot that suggested someone wanted her erased from view. The scene and the brutality left a lasting wound for her family and the community.

For years the homicide remained unsolved. While investigators had the crime scene and the fact of her death, there was no arrest that provided answers. More than two decades later, Samuel Little — already serving a life sentence for murders in California — confessed to killing McGuire and reportedly provided details investigators said had not been public. Houma detectives and Louisiana State Police interviewed him in Texas and treated that confession as the basis for closing the homicide investigation.

If anyone knew Daisy, her movements in Houma in early 1996, or has information about who she was with around February 6, 1996, please come forward.
