Episode 49 - The Killings of Carroll Edward Cole & The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse
In this episode, Erika covers the killings of Carroll Edward Cole. Cole had a thing for strangling his victims, and was said to maybe one time even attempt cannibalism. He had a deep hatred and problem with women, stemming from his feelings about his mother. This would lead to many issues for Cole and he would end up taking all the built up hatred for his mother out on sex workers and married women, who were unfaithful to their husbands. Listen in while Erika walks you through the many murderous nights of Carroll Edward Cole.

Then Amber covers, the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse. In 1938, a new bridge design was underway that would revolutionize travel for locals between Tacoma, WA and Gig Harbor, WA. The engineers wanted to make a bridge that was beautiful and sleek, so standard engineering design was tossed out, and a new design was brought in. While this design may have been aesthetically pleasing, it was not structurally sound.
