Summary

Ten-year-old Krystal Surles watched as her best friend was murdered before the intruder slashed her throat with a 12-inch boning knife. Despite the odds, she survived and led authorities to 35-year-old Tommy Lynn Sells, a former truck driver, carnival worker, and drifter.

Through the Window includes his confession to the murder of 10-year-old Joel Kirkpatrick, playing a pivotal role in obtaining justice for wrongfully convicted Julie Rea.

Lock your windows and plunge into the dark mind of a serial killer as you follow his two-decade long, cross country trail of murder.

Terrible narration

The contents are morbidly interesting and it was amazing to hear about the strength of the little girl in the beginning. Unfortunately, the narrator made it difficult to continue. His tone never matches the seriousness and horror of what he is describing. He talks about police finding a young girl's body in her bedroom as of he is discussing the weather. Very odd choice.
