The Blood Pact: Burgers in the Forest

The Blood Pact: Burgers in the Woods: The Serial Murder of Kelly Cochran A couple from Iron River, Michigan invited neighbors over for homemade burgers while hiding human remains in the woods. Christopher Regan disappeared on October 14, 2014, but no one knew the truth until a detective found a confession carved into a tree that changed everything. In this episode, we explore the contradictions that unraveled their alibi: a GPS that placed Christopher at Kelly's house the night of the crime, blood stains on the repainted ceiling, and a pact from 2002 that turned murder into an act of "love." How did a couple without a body manage to confess to two homicides, and why did Kelly hint from prison that there were many more victims? Victim: Christopher Regan Date: October 14, 2014 Location: Iron River, Michigan (Caspian) Status: Life sentence + 65 years (Kelly Cochran) - Jason Cochran shot Christopher with a .22 caliber rifle and dismembered the body with a chainsaw the same night. - Kelly claimed that Christopher never went to her house, but the GPS from his vehicle placed him there exactly at the time of the crime. - Jason's autopsy revealed strangulation asphyxia, not overdose: Kelly strangled him 16 months after the first murder. - From prison, Kelly hinted to her mother about "many other bodies in the woods"; police estimate between 11 and 21 unidentified victims.
