    The Coast to Coast Killer: A Serial Killer With No M.O.

    In this episode, we’re talking about the self proclaimed Coast to Coast Killer, Tommy Lynn Sells, a man who drifted across the United States leaving absolute chaos behind him. No victim type. No consistent method. No warning. Just violence, randomness, and fear stretching from one coast to the other, or so he said. Gayle breaks down how Sells managed to evade capture for years, the disturbing details of his crimes, and the confessions that only made this case more unsettling.
