Jolanda Jones died in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, in 1994. Her death was not initially treated as a homicide and was understood at the time as drug-related; there were no arrests then. Years later a confession brought the case back into focus.

In October 2018 Samuel Little, already convicted of multiple murders and serving life sentences, told investigators he killed a woman he identified as Jolanda Jones on a road in Pine Bluff. He gave scene details that a deputy police chief who had been at the 1994 scene said matched knowledge only someone present would have. After Little’s confession the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney asked the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory to re-examine the original autopsy.

The victim’s age and ethnicity are not available. Does anyone have information about Jolanda Jones or recall the 1994 scene that could help investigators?
