02:03a man suspected of killing three people in Norfolk and Virginia Beach is behind bars
02:12Beal is not really a stranger to the inside of a jail cell he has a long criminal history
02:18that dates back all the way to 2005 Beal served prison time for armed robbery and sexual assault
02:25on a child and in 2012 Beal pled guilty to several crimes including conspiracy and two
02:32separate charges of robbery including armed robbery and use of a firearm by a felon now
02:39Beal served six years for those crimes and he was on supervised probation
02:47Cole Beal's history is not that unusual when we put it in perspective with the histories of other
02:55people with severe psychopathy in psychopathy a person's view is primarily that they are
03:01unconstrained that if they want something nothing should really stand between them and
03:08their idea of achieving their goal they just don't take other people's views into account
03:14really it's all about them and what they want
03:21what happened to Xavier
03:33what happened to Xavier
03:46she did I killed her
03:51I could kill her man
03:53at the end of the day man
03:55I had a lot of build up man
04:01that triggered me
04:03she went through depression
04:07mother keep calling her
04:08talking about me
04:09but it's crazy
04:11you don't respect
04:11to my relationship
04:12and my life already hectic
04:14so now I'm trying to live my life
04:16after doing six years
04:17from robbing and all that
04:18I'm wearing no
04:20sex charge for some
04:22I ain't do
04:23that's another
04:25that make me want to kill a whole bunch of
04:26he's angry right out of the gate
04:34and he's really taking the role of the victim
04:38he's been falsely accused of the sex crime
04:41you know wouldn't that make you angry
04:44when you get a flare for his criminal versatility his impulsivity his failure to accept responsibility
04:51kind of blaming his girlfriend's parents her mother for having caused him to murder her
05:01now i'm gonna get all the guns and now i'm gonna kill everything
05:03why because there nobody's trying to hear me
05:07but they hear me now and i start killing the they hear me now it's crazy
05:13so the issues between you and your girl and that was more of her family getting involved
05:19it was good
05:19her family kept trying to get involved in our relationship man
05:23but they would never check on her
05:25i don't even come in and check on her
05:27she laid in there dead
05:28you don't even figure out what's going on you texting me
05:31i don't want to kill that because you ain't give a about her
05:33if you did if you would have checked on your loved one everybody would lay in there
05:36y'all ain't see until i let that on fire
05:41he sort of distanced himself from his own responsibility
05:45he's just figured out how to deal with that by just sort of like
05:50admitting it and then just sweeping it to the side
05:53there's certainly grandiose things about mr veal but this one is is is definitely a twisted one
05:59like the idea that he's the better person because he actually cared about her in some fashion but then
06:10her family didn't because it took him setting her on fire to get their attention
06:17his resorting to violence and the direction of that violence is kind of everybody else's fault
06:23who set the fire to the car
06:24i did all that by myself bro i could have did more but i was just like
06:29up i'm just gonna keep moving i'm just gonna enjoy my last days
06:33i was mad i was mad i was real mad
06:46according to beal he hasn't been heard much of his life and so the fire is symbolic of beal's life
06:55in some ways going up in flames and he acknowledges that you know life is over
06:59it's also i think a manifestation of his desire to be on the front stage and the most grandiose display
07:06of crime and violence not only am i going to kill people but i'm also going to set a fire so
07:14everybody can see what's happening this is the perfect opportunity for him to you know be heard
07:23where was she shot at i shot everybody in the head what was the deal with the tape on there and the
07:30gang i did right through i just tied her up i was gonna let her go but i just wanted to shut up
07:36but she was already in this mode i'm like look my ain't trying to hear it man put the gun to her head
07:42i told her i said look man i'm gonna show you something so i poured a dog in the room
07:47i poured chlorine all over that i poured bleach all over that i took the light out and tried to set
07:52it on fire she hops off the bed and this is what she tells me he has nothing to do with this take me
08:00let him live yeah she said take take me take my life instead let the dog live he had nothing to do
08:09with this i said word i told you i would let you go and live your life and i was gonna be on the run
08:19so at this point she's not listening she's like no no no no i'm like shut up yeah so you don't make
08:23no scene because i was gonna leave her just like that but not do nothing to her and let her get out
08:28it's still all about him he's astonished that she would say oh take me save the dog and his whole
08:37point is she's not even listening to him it's not about the dog it's not about her he doesn't
08:44want to hear anything that she has to say putting the tape over her mouth really quickly you know he
08:49says oh no no i didn't rape her but i think it's he was tired of hearing what she had to say so she
08:55was making too much noise and i think that that that lack of understanding is because he does not
09:01experience empathy oh like normal people do what did you do with prince i didn't do that with prince
09:18prince they stayed alive and so i came back and set the house on fire so you just don't look great
09:24yeah i actually stood there so i pulled bleach all over i put gasoline all over the house and
09:33when i tried to light it the flames like burst like they came up they came up in front of my face
09:39and i turned around i said the dog the dog was getting burnt alive so i was like okay i watched that
09:45because that was funny
09:46there's just absolutely no regard for a living entity whether it's humans or animals when you
09:57look at beale's behavior there really is an element of sadism to them not only in the way he interacts
10:04and describes the way that he murdered his girlfriend and the conversation they had leading up to her
10:10death and then also to hurt a completely innocent vulnerable animal is sadistic i was gonna let her
10:19live boy you tell me leave the dog and take you i'm you don't want to give a about that no
10:24he ain't gonna about you like no one so she made it so that's what i'm talking about
10:46when was clifton shot
10:48i know i know i know you did care about him i did know that yeah i did i know growing up he treated
11:00you really good i can't say what happened like you said when he was kind of when you got out like
11:06you're like every time i'll ask him for a little bit of help he can tell me he ain't got it i know you've
11:11got it i know you lied to me so you keep telling me you're lying and i'm gonna take it off
11:16so when i finally got it you know what i mean when i finally got in that with my cousin
11:23i popped his ass
11:26when he did with thursday me and my cousin when he lived
11:28he left down here yeah
11:31what happened to uh clifton
11:34me and my cousin and i made sure as soon as i walk in there he laid out on the couch
11:41so as soon as he see him come behind me he like whoa what the
11:45boom i shot him in the head
11:51and i ain't good
11:56this is what happens when somebody getting tired
11:58he don't care what die
11:59moving on to the father figure clifton baxter there's no longitudinal connection of any kind of
12:11relationship that regard is absent that building of a connection you know the the things that enable
12:20most of us to build a relationship those traits are missing in psychopaths their relationships are
12:28transactional what can they do for me now and that's where he focuses his explanation hey in
12:34the recent time whenever i asked for money not only did clifton baxter not give it to me he lied
12:42about it you know so it's like a double affront this person is a liar who you know disrespects me
12:50and won't give me what i want so i shot him
12:56i know you're angry i mean that's clear but do you do you have some sort of remorse or anything looking back
13:02remorse like what i don't feel nothing no more i didn't stop feeling
13:06i'm probably gonna kill some more people because that's how mad i am behind all this life
13:10i got judged on an electric little regular life i think his theme is i should never been accused of a
13:24sex defense they should have cleared me i think he feels that this has ruined his life and now he's
13:30going to make us all pay for it i think he's being genuine about the idea of no remorse
13:44in z
13:54my dad a killer too
13:58i just caught more body
14:05i didn't try not to let that side come up but all that was going on it just popped out i had enough
14:11I said, no.
14:19Trying to be better than him.
14:22Fair than that.
14:23He's got more bodies than him.
14:29There probably was some inherent propensity towards violence.
14:32He was surrounded by violence.
14:35When Colabile was a child, his father, Colabile III,
14:39actually tried to murder his mother.
14:42She survived, but now his father is
14:46in jail for having murdered his stepmother.
14:49He's identifying as a killer as well by saying, oh, my father
14:52is a killer too.
14:53And then he talks about having a higher body
14:56count than his father.
14:58We know that with psychopathy, some of the research
15:01has shown there is a genetic component to it.
15:04Not that that's the only reason that somebody
15:06may have psychopathic traits.
15:08But given his father's history, it
15:10does make me wonder about what might be underlying
15:13from a biological perspective.
15:14So the whole nature and nurture, both of those factors
15:18seem to play a role for Beale.
15:21can you tell us why you wanted to talk and tell your side of the story, why speak to us?
15:28Because most of the times when people see something happen like this, the person that do it
15:43don't ever get to tell their side of the side of the side of the story, why speak to us.
15:50Because most of the times when people see something happen like this, the person that do it
15:53don't ever get to tell their side of the story.
15:56So that brings me into your cousin, which is McClane, his last answer McClane.
16:13Now he went with you on that Wednesday?
16:14Yeah.
16:15So then what happened between you and your cousin?
16:18I didn't want to do it, but I did it.
16:20He's snapping on everybody that's around us.
16:22I don't like going.
16:24You talking stuff and like yelling.
16:26So I tell you to calm down because I already killed you people.
16:30I'm already seeing red.
16:32He started making a scene until he calmed down and he tried to put his hands on me.
17:00I got fed up with him because he kept talking like, like, you're not about this.
17:04You're not going to do nothing.
17:05Like, bro, I just killed two people.
17:06You don't think I'm ready to shoot again?
17:10So I went right in the kitchen and shot him right in the head.
17:14He didn't drop.
17:15He just kept moving in circles.
17:17Then I shot him in the back to make sure he hit the ground.
17:21Do you feel any remorse for killing three?
17:24I feel no remorse about none of this at all.
17:25When you snap, you don't think about remorse.
17:27That's not something that comes to your mind when you're snapping.
17:29I was the police were looking for you.
17:32So were you planning on running away or looking for more people?
17:36I was definitely looking for more people.
17:38But I was choosing my people wisely.
17:41I wasn't choosing regular people.
17:43I was looking for more people.
17:44I was looking for more people.
17:45I was looking for more people.
17:46These are examples of an individual who doesn't have that human connection that the average
17:53person does.
17:54And they don't, he doesn't seem to feel guilty at all.
17:57In fact, isn't even sure what he should feel guilty about.
18:00You know, her family interfered.
18:03Mr. Baxter didn't give him money when he needed.
18:05You know, his cousin was talking back and wouldn't stop.
18:09He really has this very shallow affect in that he doesn't seem emotionally impacted at all.
18:18For all three of Beal's victims, he has made a personal connection and justification for why he should murder them.
18:27They all deserved it for one reason or another.
18:30Kola, a lot of people in your position would say, I didn't do this and plead not guilty.
18:40As a man, I will take up for my wrongdoings.
18:43I snapped on my cousin for a simple reason.
18:46I snapped on my dad for a reason.
18:48And I snapped on my girlfriend for a different reason.
18:51None of this had nothing to do with what they liked and what they were dealing with.
18:54Did you harm anybody else in the process that no one has found out about yet?
18:59No, but I was getting ready to pop back out at the end of the daylight.
19:03And I definitely was about to do something.
19:05If they hadn't picked me up, what, last night?
19:08I definitely would have got out and let out some more steam because at the end of the day,
19:12nobody hears you when you talking regularly.
19:14You got to do something like this.
19:16I didn't live my life, but I was going to do it differently.
19:21But it went out like that, so it's over with.
19:24Colabile is a wonderful example, when we think of psychopathy, of someone whose predominant traits are those of callousness, selfishness, and the anger component.
19:39When they feel like they're not getting what they want or they've been wronged, they're going to make everybody pay.
19:44They really attribute to other people the causes for why they do what they do.
19:51They don't blame themselves.
19:54All they can do is react.
19:56He confessed to our cameras yesterday to committing three murders in the span of just three days.
20:02Beal told me he was prepared to take any penalty coming to him from a judge and from a jury.
20:26And the fact that you found that I would have to be a person, who's going to make a mistake.
20:29I think that the big time has gone to the town of real a bet.
20:33What do you think about the town of real estate?
20:35I think that you're seeing many things happening.
20:36I think that there'll be a place for some really specials.
20:38I think people are going to be a place for the town of real estate.
20:40I think people are going to be a part of the town of real estate where it's a place.
20:42I really don't either want to go to the town of real estate.
20:45I don't know what this is.
20:47I think I grew up here.
20:49I think I know there's a place that it's a place for the town of real estate.
