Serial Killer Documentary: Carroll Cole (The Alcoholic Cannibal) 

They had me at “alcoholic cannibal”

It will never cease to amaze me how many times some of these people should have been kept in custody and they just let them go...

I love these lesser known cases! I feel like I watch the same ones over and over again. I absolutely love this channel. Thank you so much for all the work you put into these- it shows!!!

If they hadn't released him every single time.......so many people would've been saved. Sad.

Who else is binging random true crime/serial killer docs and using amazing channels like this to sleep to? Just me? Cool 😊

As disgusting as this man was and working in a hospital as a non-medical staff, I constantly have to report and request investigations of treatment and neglect. I mean, get it that some patients are just reaching for attention, for nothing... but hearing a patient yelling about pain and seeing the nurse ignore them is so rage inducing. Especially for someone like me that's a veteran.

What I find very interesting about this case is he is one of VERY few that actually sought out help from a earlier age and was aware enough to know at a younger age that he should be perhaps locked away and not loose in society . Very fascinating case this one though still so tragic for the victims.Thank you for sharing it.

I only found the picture of one of the victims (that was not dead - I don't show dead bodies). The lack of footage is probably why nobody does videos about this guy. Up next - John Haigh - The Acid Bath Murderer. This is the last video of the month, so the premiere chat will be members-only.

I can't understand how this man's life was ever valuable in the eyes of any civilized society...he should have been taken out a long long time ago instead of being flung into the public to try his luck

skd: "the alcoholic cannibal" dahmer: "am i a joke to you?"

This dude was evil as Hell but it's astounding how many times he seemed to try to reach out for help and was just turned away time after time.

Ed Cole married my aunt when i was just a young girl.. He lived with us from time to time not knowing he was a serial killer .. He kept my aunt in a closet 2 weeks after he killed her .. He continued to pull her decomposing body out of the closet to rape and eat her.. This was in California .. The humidity is very high and her body decomposed quickly in the heat.. The torture and anguish I endured from the trauma he caused was almost unbearable.. Until recently, I had kept this all buried deep within myself.. However, Ive healed the karmic ties from his darkness and I'm telling my story and About how this affected my life.. How The damage my inner child suffered carried over into adulthood.. I've been doing podcasts and live tv interviews about the effect this has had on me... I pray all the victim's families can find that inner healing and peace within themselves. Blessings to All.. BREAKING KARMIC TIES

This channel has convinced me that there is a difference between insanity and outright evil. Blame it on their childhoods all you want but somewhere along the way he knew what he was doing was wrong but CHOSE to keep doing it. That's evil!

He said he decided on an elaborate escape..why? They will just let you out anyway

Jeeeez, where was this story hiding!? Insane how he'd originally been released. Wow. Thanks for the content. 💜🍻

Scary part is there are only stories about serial killers which have been caught how many are roaming free

Seriously, am I the only one who reacts to the incompetence of doctors / psychiatrists / justice who do not take Cole's words seriously, when he tells about everything he wants to do and how he does not feel any guilt at all? Especially after every time he gets caught and also in preparation for murder? Or is it me who misunderstands (English is not my native language)? Cole may have been a disgusting human/killer, but the system did little to stop him before too many had died! Then I have a hard time understanding the logic of killing unfaithful wives, when he and his wife (wives?) themselves were unfaithful. Thanks for the upload!

I've never heard of this guy before, thanks for all of these

another sad one for the books, if someone calls out for help about having these crazy urges for god sake take him seriously... so many lives could of been spared

Never heard of this guy, great presentation as always SKD

He kills 2 people with a hammer, gets 30 days, I got a driving on suspended license or 9 but I did a YEAR, that doesn't seem right!!! I just wanted to get to work to feed my family!!!

You have been crushing it my friend !! I tell everyone of my crime junky buds about this channel !!

I've made an informal study of serial killers over the years, and one thing is almost universal: 98% of serial killers had very sad and messed up childhoods. To address the inevitable comments of "plenty of people have bad childhoods and suffer abuse, but become productive members of society", I obviously know that. But for those who have dark traits/tendencies to begin with and are badly abused... well it's a recipe for a psychopathic killer. Not justifying it by any means but it does factor in.

dear SKD, ( sorry don't know your actual name or i'd address you as such) wanted to let you know that there is always a standing ovation of 1 here. it may not mean much but, i'm sure i'm not the only one. put us all together and the applause would be deafening. thank you for another outstanding video

Love your channel! Take your time, I am patient. Your vids are worth the wait. Your fam & health are too important. Thank you for all of your hard work! Bless

He tried seeking help. For me, and you can't change my mind, he wasn't that much evil as he's pictured. The actual villains are the doctors who failed him and society. He knew he was troubled, ASKED FOR HELP, and was mistreated. He is still a bad guy, don't get me wrong, but IMO he's not as evil as thought. They treated him like some people say to depressed/anxious people "just be happy" or something like it.

Unbelievable how the whole system allows the sick psychopaths to run rampant.

Skd you continue to intrigue and entertain me! I've never heard of this guy. Its crazy how many serial killers are out there! I love that your uploads are so thorough and well done 👏 Thanks so much for your hard work!! 💜 you guys!

I don’t understand how anyone can do stuff like this and just live a life free of guilt. Most of us drive ourselves crazy about meaningless things that are in our past, but imagine being able to just live this on your mind, I’m sure the alcohol was to help him cope, I have no idea, what could cause someone to do this?

The man had 152 IQ and that helped him stay one step in front of justice but the system failed society.

You deserve more recognition

You Always do your homework on all your cases. Great job!!

Is it messed up that falling asleep to these videos are the only ways I can sleep peacefully

You never let us down SKD.

Love you so much SKD been a sub for years and was a mod on the old live streams, keep up the good work m8!

Cole got to slip between the cracks for too long

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for your time and effort 💓

He invited the neighbors for happy hour, but it ended up making a BBQ.

Multiple phycologist and jails and the let him go but yeah the mental health field is great and we should trust psychs without question lol

I'm definitely in the same boat as your other followers! I enjoy watching more than one time. You suggested DRE as a good addition! Very awesome! I appreciate you both sharing information!

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. So well done, so well researched, so well presented. Thank you.

Hi, your voice would be perfect for an audiobook of some kind. I love the way you narrate the story. Job well done.

I am so excited for this! Can’t wait to watch this when I get home from work

Without Serial Killer Documentaries, Deadbug Says and That Chapter, these stories wouldn't be anywhere as good to hear. Awesome narration .

AWESOME, A new video!!!! Take your time Buddy, I just love your channel

You’re working overtime SKD - nice 👍

You have a very powerful channel and I am glad to be among your 1/2 million subscribers because your documentaries bring information and awareness in many ways...these monsters should be revealed no matter how heinous there actions were...it is education in its own way yet could be dangerous if some wicked minded individuals have any ideas ,if you know what I mean. But this is life ,and the dark side of the world we live in...good work in your forum and documentary .

He consumed the jim beam and he enjoyed it, he also consumed the long pork and found it agreeable.

Maybe we should rename this, "Cole the Killer and the Case of the Incompetent Cops". Cheese and rice.

You’ve somehow made “Pop Goes the Weasel” scary... and for that good sir, I congratulate you.

Love this channel.. gets better all da time

Behind every serial killer seems to be a crazy mother.

Thanks SKD 👍 another great upload. Stay safe x

Anyone else just commenting for the algorithm?

5 years for trying to strangle an eleven year old girl after all the other shit he did. That is just nuts!

I actually have a tremendous amount of sympathy for this guy. Imagine having the urges that he has, that he can't stop or control. Imagine knowing your desires are screwed up but being powerless. On multiple occasions he voluntarily sought help and got none. Just a fucked up case all around.

It does not by any means excuse what he did but it sounds like Cole knew he was sick and tried to get some sort of help numerous times. Maybe if a man tells you he has violent murderous fantasies and cannot control himself take him at his word instead of releasing him back into society.

Awesomeness... SKD is second to none.

He made several attempts to warn authorities. Disgusting how many people had to die because these people don’t do their jobs!

What a freaky freak...lol...never heard of this guy...

I am a simple man. I see 'Alcoholic Cannibal' and I click.

Just got round to watching this and reading the live chat. This bloke was trying his hardest to not. Please....take me...I'm not well....no....ok....here I go again. I'd not heard of him so 👍🏾 another one to add to my list.

Great video! Thanks for your hard work 💜

I love new intro 😍 such an awesome channel!

Not sure why everybody gets upset with cannonballs these days. The pirates used them all the time back in the day.

Can't wait to listen to this while working I'm so bored rn looking for docs edit: damn I'm surprised ive never heard of this, he's killed and hurt so many jezus

Thanks for another top quality video! YeeHaw! Great channel.

" I PUT THAT SHIT ON EVERYTHING" Eddie on FRANKS REDHOT

This channel as come one of my favourites and I'm subbed to PLENTY

Super excited already.. Know it's gonna be awesome 👌😍

Unbelievabel muy very good work Like every work from you

For a serial killer he looks like a Auto mechanic.

He "looked" a nice enough chap but then don`t judge a book by it`s cover eh?

alcohol is scary

poor dude, seems like he wanted to be good and things to be just, but his mother cooked him beyond repair :(

I told my boys they were on their own if they poop while I’m trying to watch this 😂. Am I addicted? Hmm...🤔

those 60s-70s judges be like "boys will be boys. Here's 6 months to a year, scamp."

Ridiculous how despite multiple attempts to be committed they continued to release the guy, just because they thought he was using the system. Like what the actual fuck, they recognised he had a problem but let him go?!

I'd rather call him the hypocrite killer. He isn't faithful himself, yet he kills others who are just as unfaithful.

Let’s GOOOOOOOOO .. I wait for your posts every week, just can’t get enough of my true crime l😂💀😂💀😂💀

Excellent production again! 👌🏼

If I was that 11yo girls dad, that would have been the end of this story...

33:28 "...an unscheduled exit" 😂 Best description of a prison escape ever lol

Normally killers want to avoid the death penalty and he wants it,guess he got his wish.good video.

Man... It must be difficult putting these things together. You have a way stronger stomach than I do. Still... It's good to be aware of the evil that exists in the world. It would seem that these monsters are not as rare as I thought. It's frightening what some humans can do to others without remorse or empathy.

So he got arrested many times and the cops never figured out he was the killer. Like they didn't check for fingerprints on the bodies or their clothes. Man that's sad. They had him many times and just let him go each time.

This is fn disgusting 😠 The Health and "Justice system" is %100000 to blame for all these murders 😈

He tells the police he has an urge to kill someone and they charge him with Disorderly Conduct! - ridiculous - the cops seem so inept with this guy!

All the people that were supposed to keep track of Cole should be arrested...its their fault all these women ended up dead...Starting with Judges all the way to probation officers 💩💩💩

Wow......in this story u r not sure who should be blamed for his rampage. He was failed so many times by his parents, the law, hospitals, doctors, courts and even himself. Perhaps if he had been treated and institutionalized at a young age many women's lives would have been saved.

So we poor people don't get to chat huh :(

Nice video, had no clue about this one. I felt like the audio wasnt mixed as well this time? and there were some audio snippets that were sped up a quicker than the rest, making it stand out. Keep up the nice work.

Well, if you never get caught, and you (excuses) never have any repercussions or consequences and people see your evil and do nothing, hey, why should you stop?!🤔🤨

I investigated Nevada State Prison with NPTF, spent a lot of time around the execution chamber and last nights cells. very eerie to see the story of the man who was executed just a couple feet away from where I stood.

I'm late, but always here!

I've never heard Pop Goes The Weasel sound so ominous.

Anyone know where to find richard chase interview or trials? I want to hear his voice and see his mannerism when talking

I love the expression the narrator puts into the subjects of the story.

Icecream and skd. Damn I'm a cheap date. Lol. Anyway after a long Monday this is what I want to do!!
