*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved.

This will be our FINAL episode of Season 2. We know that we haven't finished the alphabet but there are some changes coming to the format, based on what the listeners want. More to come in the following days/announcements on this.
In this episode, Heather is joined by Roseanne from the Killafornia Dreaming podcast to discuss Tommy Lynn Sells. Tommy was born in Oakland, California on June 28, 1964 and was a serial killer who was known to rape his victims. He gave himself the moniker of Coast to Coast Killer as he murdered his victims from states all over the nation. Although he only had a handful of confirmed victims, he claimed to have killed 70 people. One of the most disturbing aspects about this case, and really about Tommy himself, is that he didn't have a type as far as his victims. He killed men, women, and children.
His murders spanned from 1980 until 1999 and he was apprehended in January of 2000. He was sentenced to death on November 8, 2000 and died of lethal injection on April 3, 2014 at a Texas prison.
