The chilling narrative of Kelly Cochran, a seemingly ordinary wife turned serial killer, is a labyrinth of secrets, lies, and a disturbing "murder pact." Investigators Jeremy Ogden and Laura Frizzo Ogden, now married, offer a unique perspective into this complex case, revealing the psychological tactics employed to uncover the truth behind the deaths of Cochran's lover, Chris Regan, and her husband, Jason.

The Cochran case began with a sinister agreement between Kelly and Jason: if infidelity occurred, the unfaithful partner or the betrayed spouse would kill the third party. This chilling pact became a horrifying reality, setting off a complex investigation that spanned years and states.

Cochran, described as manipulative and highly intelligent, managed to evade authorities for two years after Regan's disappearance in Michigan. The case shifted to Indiana when Cochran reported her husband's sudden death. Faced with a cunning suspect, investigators resorted to unconventional methods. Jeremy Ogden, then a detective sergeant, even carved "CHRIS IS HERE" into a tree at a park Cochran frequented, hoping to provoke a confession. While Cochran eventually admitted to Regan's murder, she shifted the blame onto her deceased husband.

Cochran's intelligence posed a significant challenge for investigators. Laura Frizzo Ogden, then Iron River Police Chief, noted Cochran's initial hostility towards her, contrasting with the more accommodating approach of other detectives. However, a breakthrough occurred after Cochran's arrest. During a two-hour conversation in Cochran's jail cell, she revealed a chilling lack of remorse, claiming she was "born this way." This confession offered a glimpse into the mind of a killer who seemed devoid of empathy.

The Cochran case had a profound impact on both investigators, not just professionally, but personally. Their shared pursuit of justice sparked a connection that eventually led to their marriage. Kelly Cochran is currently serving a life sentence plus 65 years. This complex and disturbing case continues to fascinate and horrify, offering a chilling example of the depths of human depravity.
