The Coast to Coast Killer | Tommy Lynn Sells

Skip straight to the case: (8:20)

Tommy Lynn Sells was a drifter whose crimes stretched across multiple U.S. states. Known as the “Coast-to-Coast Killer,” Sells claimed responsibility for dozens of murders, though he was only convicted in two cases. His transient lifestyle, violent childhood, and habit of targeting vulnerable victims made him one of the most elusive and disturbing killers of his era.

Sells once said ‘I am hatred. When you look at me, you look at hate. I don't know what love is. Two words I don't like to use are 'love' and 'sorry,' because I'm about hate.”

His crimes are some of the most heinous that could ever be imagined.
