Second body in the cistern was Little’s

Today, the Howell County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the skeletal remains discovered alongside the recently identified remains of Ira Briscoe are, in fact, those of Limon Little. Little and Briscoe went missing at the same time in 2020. Two sets of skeletal remains were found in August 2024 nearby the missing men’s residence.
 

Today’s announcement from law enforcement discloses,  “A forensic scientist stated in the official report -- after comparing all samples provided to them by the Missouri State Highway Patrol Crime Lab, they were able to conclude the remains located in August 2024 were those of Limon Little. This conclusion made after comparing a profile generated from the remains to a reference standard provided by Little's sister.  This probability was determined to be 99.33%.”
 

Sheriff Matt Roberts subsequently notified Little's next-of-kin.
 

The Sheriff’s Office is continuing to work leads, and is, “actively working with the Missouri State Highway Patrol Crime Lab on other submitted items of evidence.”
