Episode 59 - Carroll Edward Cole: The 8 Year Old Serial Killer
He was just eight years old when he killed for the first time… and no one noticed.
In this episode of Total Conundrum, Jeremy and Traci unravel the disturbing life of Carroll Edward Cole, a serial killer whose crimes went undetected for decades—despite confessions, hospital warnings, and chilling early behavior. From his traumatic childhood and early acts of violence, to the series of murders he claimed were part of a “moral mission,” Cole’s story is one of systemic failure, shocking misdiagnoses, and missed opportunities.
In this episode:
• His first victim at 8 years old
• Military misconduct and gun trafficking
• The open marriage and multiple murders
• Mission-oriented killers explained
• Wild detours like “Killer or Clickbait” and “True Crime Trivia Throwdown”
• The honeymoon arrest that brought it all crashing down
Stick around to the end for a tease of next week’s episode: The Ariel School UFO Incident, one of the most credible mass alien sightings ever recorded.
