Sells is believed to have committed at least 22 murders. Retired Texas Ranger John Allen states, “We did confirm 22... I know there’s more. I know there’s a lot more. Obviously, we won’t ever know.”[2]
Sells has claimed he committed his first murder at age 16. While breaking into a house he discovered a man performing oral sex on a young boy, killing the man in a snap of rage.[3]
In July 1985, when he was 21 years old, Sells was working at a carnival in Forsyth, Missouri. He met Ena Cordt, 28, who had brought her 4-year-old son to the carnival.[4] Cordt invited Sells back to her home that same evening. According to Sells, he had sex with Cordt, but he awoke during the night to find her stealing from his backpack. Seizing her son’s baseball bat, he beat her to death. He also murdered her son because he was a potential witness. The bludgeoned bodies were found three days later, by which time Sells had left town.
