Carroll Edward Cole

About this episode

Carroll Edward Cole was a serial killer who confessed to 14 murders but has said he may have murdered as many as 35 women. Cole was abused by his mother and later said that he preyed on women with similarities to his mother as a way to get back at her. Whatever the true number of his victims is, Cole was definitely a predator whose murders became more bizarre and taboo over the years.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the serial killer Carroll Cole. He had a childhood that would make people feel sorry for him if it wasn't for the fact that he first killed a male classmate at the age of 8 and then went on to kill a large number of women. He racked up a criminal record over the years, but, as we've seen with so many other killers, he was let out early many times to select his next victim.
