My Take
I write about Tommy Lynn Sells with reluctance. The so-called Coast to Coast Killer was convicted of two murders, executed in 2014, and claimed dozens more he could never substantiate. There is nothing to admire here, and I refuse to dress this up as fascination. What I will say is that true-crime curiosity too easily erases the victims. My only real take is that we owe the people he harmed the dignity of remembrance, and any honest look at a case like this should serve understanding and prevention, never entertainment.
