Here's an early preview of what's coming up on 48 HOURS MYSTERY: KRYSTAL'S COURAGE. Sadly, our correspondent for this hour, Harold Dow passed away suddenly on August 21--we will miss him terribly. This broadcast is our tribute to him In the early morning hours of December 31, 1999, 10 year old Krystal Surles and her friend Kaylene Harris, 13, were brutally attacked in their own beds, by a knife-wielding intruder, who slashed their throats. He had climbed through their window in Kaylene's home in rural Del Rio, Texas. Sadly, Kaylene died, but Krystal managed to walk to a neighbor's home for help, and survived. Despite her injuries, she helped police identify the killer. Two days after the crime, police arrested a 35 year old drifter named Tommy Lynn Sells. During questioning, Sells told police that he had committed dozens of murders over the past 20 years. An eighth-grade dropout who often made money as a carnie, he said he had committed his first murder in Hollywood, Calif., in a street fight. Sells said that he had killed people all over the country, from California to West Virginia. Could a child's testimony bring a killer to justice?
