The Mission of Cannibal Carroll Cole -To Rid America of Loose Women

Confessions of a self-confessed eater of people

Carroll Cole’s desperate attempts to seek help and his admission to mental hospitals couldn’t prevent his descent into becoming a deadly murderer and, at times, a cannibal.

During his formative years, he endured taunts due to his feminine name, exacerbated by his mother’s choice of clothing and roles. This upbringing instilled in him a deep-seated resentment towards women and those who mocked him.

“The kids made quite a thing of taunting me,” Cole recalled. “I felt the animosity, withdrawing more and more into myself.” One fateful afternoon, hidden beneath the porch at home, Cole briefly blacked out and awoke to find he had strangled the family’s puppy. Strangely, this act provided him with a perverse sense of relief, fueling his fantasies of violence towards women, including his mother.

Further torment led to a tragic outburst; he drowned a classmate, Duane, at the age of nine. The incident, which occurred at a lake near their Richmond, California home, was initially deemed an accident until Cole later confessed to the murder, expressing a lack of remorse.

His life was marked by a series of brushes with the law, ranging from vagrancy to arson. While his stint in the Navy was cut short due to gun theft, his troubles persisted on the civilian side, including shooting at cars along San Diego highways.
