The 1999 murder of 13 year old Haley McHone in Lexington Kentucky by rail-riding serial killer Tommy Lynn Sells.  Part 3 summarizes the prosecution strategy regarding Tommy Lynn Sells, discussed by Ray “The D.A.” Larson.Show notes can be found HERE.Transcript (please forgive minor errors):David:Warning, the podcast you're about to listen to may contain graphic descriptions of violent acts and injury. Listener discretion is advised.Wendy:Welcome to the Murder Police Podcast.Wendy:Well, we're back again. David, won't you tell me where we left off on episode two?David:When we finished that one we had just learned who the killer was and got amazing details from Detective Schoonover when he interviewed that serial killer, it was fantastic. And on this next episode what we're going to finish off with for this one is the legal process, a really good discussion about how this was handled through the court case, and inevitably what happened to Tommy Lynn Sells.Det. Chris Schoonover:With Tommy Lynn Sells, and people like him, you can't put your brain in their thought pattern because they don't don't think the same as every normal human being.David:Absolutely, absolutely.Ray:So did you arrest him?Det. Chris Schoonover:He was already arrested, so this is where you come in. I come back with the recorded, I would say admission, and with a swab of his DNA, and I present the case to your office.Ray:And you had assurance that he wasn't going to get out?Det. Chris Schoonover:Yes, he was in Texas, and he was charged with murder of a teenage girl and an attempted murder of a brave 10 year old, and we'll get to that later, hopefully you'll ask me about her. So I come back to you, I present the case to you, and much like another case that you handled you said, "Well let's see what Texas does, because I like their legal process. We'll talk to the family, see what's best for the family in this situation, and you'll get back with me, it's on you now." That's your exact words.David:It always is that way.Wendy:Well speaking of the girl, I have to, not ruin, but as I've told you, I've been so interested in this case ever since I learned about it, I just couldn't fathom a lot of the things that I had read in one of the books on him, and researching some of the stuff online, the videos of him and his interviews with various people. I found a video on that girl as a young adult, the 10 year old, and she described when he came in that room, you're right, she was hoping that he wouldn't see her, and he turned back to give one last look and that's when he caught her glance, and she said he just told her, "Get your hands up, move your hands," and she put them up by her head like he told her to do, and he just slit her throat and left.Wendy:And the interviewer asked her, "What was his demeanor?" And she said, "It was very flat." He had just no look in his eyes and he did it, he didn't seem angry, and she said, "I watched him kill my friend at the bottom of the bunk bed, and he had no expression, just none, and he slit her throat and walked off."David:Was he like that when you interview him, kind of flat, did he look nervous like oh, I'm caught?Det. Chris Schoonover:No. In my very honest opinion he enjoyed the attentShop for Murder Police Podcast swag by clicking HERE today! 10% of ALL swag and merch proceeds are donated to the DNA Doe Project.See what you have been missing on YouTube!
