The West Coast has seen its share of murderers but how many of them flagged down a cop and said hey, I’m thinking of becoming a murderer? TWICE! And how many cops, parole officers, and shrinks who encountered this guy just passed him off onto someone else? If you guessed all of them, you’re right! Eli and Mel found no evidence of an actual clown car but they’re sure there must have been one as the notorious Barfly Strangler, Carroll Cole, bounced from state to state, getting picked up for mail fraud, public drunkenness, and probably a few parking violations all while racking up a body count that might have numbered as many as fourteen women. What happened in Vegas didn’t quite stay in Vegas when mistakes were made in… Nevada!
