Tommy Lynn Sells signed photo EXECUTED

This auction is a signed photograph of executed Texas "Coast to Coast Killer" Tommy Lynn Sells (6/28/1964 – 4/3/2014). On 12/31/1999, Tommy Sells slit the throats of two young girls in Del Rio, TX. The 13-year-old victim would die, the 10-year-old victim survived. Her description would lead to his arrest on 1/2/2000, followed by his trial, conviction, death sentence, and execution. Tommy Sells's murder spree spanned from 1980 to 1999, with confirmed murder victims in Texas, Illinois, New York, Kentucky, and Missouri, thus earning him the moniker of the Coast to Coast Killer. His victims included men, women, boys, girls, toddlers, even newborn infants, with motives ranging from rape, robbery, revenge, or seemingly no motive at all. Ultimately Tommy Sells would l be linked to some 20+ murders. Over the years Tommy Sells would boast to having committed multiple homicides, usually around 70 victims. However, in the months leading up to his execution, Tommy Sells sang a different tune, proclaiming the confessions were due to police coercion. Tommy Sells was executed by lethal injection on 4/3/2014. When asked if he would give a final statement he replied, "No." He was 49.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: The photograph is 4"×6", the image is printed on Kodak photo paper. A professional photo printing machine was used to print this photo, not a home computer printer or the like. It's a first-generation copy made from that original. This signature itself is not a copy, as picture was printed, mailed to Sells, signed, and returned. Sells has the signed, "Tommy Lynn Sells, 999367, death row." The photo comes in a protective comic book sleeve with an acid free board and has been stored flat.
