An
Indiana woman who was sentenced last month to 65 years behind bars for the
murder of her husband is the subject of a new documentary that delves into her
life and claims that
she is a serial killer responsible for at least nine deaths throughout the
Midwest. 34-year-old Kelly M. Cochran admitted
that she injected her husband Jason Cochran with
a lethal dose of heroin and then smothered him with a pillow. She was already
serving a life sentence for killing and dismembering a different lover back in
2014.
An upcoming documentary called Dead
North, that will air on Investigation Discovery on May 28 and May
29, looks into a series of murders that could be linked to Cochran. The
documentary starts in 2014 when Iron River Police Chief Laura
Frizzo opened a
missing person case into Cochran's first victim Chris
Regan after he vanished without a trace.
Frizzo's investigation eventually led
her to the Cochrans' who admitted to luring Regan to their home where they shot
and dismembered him before dumping his remains in the woods. They claimed that
they had a “pact” to “kill off anyone involved in their extramarital
affairs.”
In one stomach-churning detail, neighbors
alleged that the Cochran's may have served them Regan's dismembered remains
during a barbecue.
Cochran then told police that she
became angry with her husband for killing Regan and so she decided to kill him
and attempt to make it look like an overdose. She was sentenced to life in
prison for the death of Regan in 2017, before having an additional 65 years
added to her time behind bars for the murder of her husband.
Members of Cochran's family believe
there may be more victims out there and asked police to widen their
investigation.
