16. Death Carroll Cole was sentenced to death and was executed in Nevada on December 6, 1985 by lethal ejection.

17. Opinion I think he got what he deserved, but I think it was a very bumpy road and I do not understand how he kept getting released from jail to keep killing people. Also, a lot of his murders were written off as accidents or not his fault and a lot of his charges were dismissed for some odd reason. Overall, I think the police system was very sloppy and should have kept him in jail for life for the first person he killed.
