Tommy Lynn Sells was a serial killer who claimed responsibility for over 70 murders across the United States, dubbed with the nickname “Coast to Coast”.

According to Wikipedia, in 1990, Sells stole a truck in Wyoming and was sentenced to 16 months imprisonment. He was diagnosed with a personality disorder consisting of antisocial, borderline, and schizoid features, substance use disorder (severe opioid, cannabis, amphetamines, and alcohol dependence), bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and psychosis.

In May 1992, Sells raped, knifed, and beat a woman with a piano stool in Charleston, West Virginia. In June 1993, he was sentenced to two to ten years imprisonment for malicious wounding; the rape charge was dropped.

While serving this sentence, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and married Nora Price. He was released in 1997 and moved to Tennessee with his wife. He left her and resumed his cross-country travels.

Sells is believed by police to have murdered at least 22 people. Retired Texas Ranger John Allen said, “We did confirm 22… I know there’s more. I know there’s a lot more. Obviously, we won’t ever know.” Sells said he committed his first murder at age 16, while breaking into a house. While in the house, Sells discovered a man performing fellatio on a young boy. Sells killed the man in a fit of rage.

In July 1985, 21-year-old Sells worked at a Forsyth, Missouri carnival, where he met 28-year-old Ena Cordt and her 4-year-old son. Cordt invited Sells to her home that evening. According to Sells, he had sex with her, fell asleep, and awoke to find her stealing from his backpack.

He proceeded to beat Cordt to death with her son’s baseball bat. He then murdered her son because the child was a potential witness. The bludgeoned bodies were found three days later, by which time Sells had left town.

The State of Texas executed Tommy Lynn Sells on April 3, 2014, for the 1999 murder of Kaylene Jo “Katy” Harris.

On December 31, 1999, in the Guajia Bay subdivision, west of Del Rio, Texas, Sells slit the throats of 13-year-old Kaylene ‘Katy’ Harris and 10-year-old Krystal Surles. Surles survived and received help from the neighbors. Sells was apprehended after being identified from a sketch made from the victim’s description.

In an interview on Discovery Channel’s Most Evil with Columbia University forensic psychiatrist and personality expert Dr. Michael H. Stone, Sells claimed to have killed more than 70 people. Police over time came to suspect him of “working the system”, by confessing to murders he had not committed.

Sells was housed on death row in the Allan B. Polunsky Unit near Livingston, Texas. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice received him on November 8, 2000.

In 2004, Sells confessed that he had broken into a home, taken a knife from a butcher block in the kitchen, stabbed a little boy to death, and scuffled with a woman. Those details agreed with the account of Julie Rea Harper, who was initially convicted for the murder of her son, and then acquitted in 2006.
