It has been 10 years since the night 10-year-old Krystal Surles’ throat was slashed after witnessing her friend’s murder. In her unflinching account, Krystal recalls the events of that awful night, her incredible journey to recovery and a secret she kept from the public for years. It was Krystal Surles will to survive that ultimately brought serial killer Tommy Lynn Sells to justice.
According to reports, when police got to Tommy Lynn Sells’ residence, Tommy Lynn Sells himself opened the door and said:
“I’m glad I finally got caught – I was tired of doing this.”
The murder weapon used in slashing Krystal Surles’ and Katy Harris throats was an 11-inch butcher knife. It had been sharpened throughout the years so many times that it was such a thin blade and it was recovered beyond Tommy Lynn Sells’ residence in the brush where he had discarded the knife.
Tommy Lynn Sells also admitted killing 22 more including men, women and children. Tommy Lynn Sells has been tried and sentenced to death. He is now on death row for 9 years.
