Kelly Cochran | Killed and Dismembered her Husband and Ex-Lover | Police Interrogation

This is the grisly story of Kelly Cochran.

Born and raised in Merrillville, Indiana, Kelly and Jason Cochran were high school sweethearts and grew up next door to each other. They were so enamored with each other that they were married after Kelly Cochran graduated from high school in 2002 — and made a lifelong promise to kill anyone who they might cheat with.

Jason Cochran worked hard servicing swimming pools until his back gave out after 10 years of physical labor. While his wife tried hard to pay the bills, the debts kept piling up. The couple bailed on the situation for Caspian, Michigan, in 2013, also looking forward to legal marijuana, which would help ease Jason’s chronic pain.

Kelly Cochran met Christopher Regan at a factory job manufacturing Naval ship parts. An Air Force veteran and Detroit native, he and Cochran bonded and became lovers despite their 20-year age difference. Through his relationship with Cochran, Regan was also cheating on his girlfriend, Terri O’Donnell. They finally agreed to patch things up — the day that he died.

On Oct. 14, 2014, Regan planned to spend the night with Cochran — unaware she had spent the previous night arguing with her husband about him. Knowing it meant her lover’s death, Cochran invited him over and had sex with him as her husband shot him in the head. Neighbors heard a shot — then power tools.

O’Donnell reported Regan missing 10 days later, but the Cochrans had already dumped his remains in the woods. While they parked his car on the outskirts of town, they failed to notice a post-it note with directions to their house inside. Police were more observant and found the car, the note inside — and their suspects.

Police paid Kelly and Jason Cochran a visit, finding the former entirely at ease and the latter uncomfortable. They later questioned them separately. Kelly admitted to having an affair with Regan, but claimed she and her husband had an open marriage. Jason, meanwhile, appeared rather aggravated at her infidelity.

While the Cochrans had managed to remove all evidence of their crimes and the case went cold, an FBI search of their home in March 2015 prompted the terrified couple to leave town for Hobart, Indiana. It was there, on Feb. 20, 2016, that suspicions got the better of the couple — and Cochran murdered her husband

Kelly Cochran Gets Caught

When EMTs arrived at the Mississippi Street residence, they found Jason Cochran unresponsive, and Kelly was reportedly disruptive as they attempted to revive him. The EMTs declared Cochran’s husband dead of an overdose — unaware that she had deliberately overloaded his heroin fix, then smothered him for good measure.

Cochran held a memorial service days later, claiming it was “the hardest thing I will ever have to deal with” online while pawning off her belongings. She fled Indiana on April 26 without notifying relatives, and when the Hobart Medical Examiner realized Jason died of asphyxiation, she became a fugitive.

Her messages claimed she was hiding out on the West Coast in an attempt to throw police off-course. However, they simply tracked her phone to Kentucky. Finally, Cochran pointed cops to Regan’s remains and the murder weapon.
Kelly Cochran’s trial revealed that “she contemplated killing Jason instead of Chris.” She felt that he had killed “the only good thing I had in my life,” adding, “I still hate him, and yes, it was revenge. I evened the score.” While serving a life sentence for Regan’s death, she earned another 65 years in April 2018 for killing her husband.

Police said she only told her spouse about Regan when he declined a serious relationship, as the diabolical pact would ensure his death.

Ultimately, the full extent of Kelly Cochran’s crimes only began to reveal themselves while she was in prison. Once news got out that the couple had dismembered Christopher Regan, friends and neighbors came to the stomach-churning revelation that they had very likely eaten Regan’s barbecued remains at a cookout hosted by Cochran.

MEN, How Did You Catch Your PERFECT WIFE Cheating?

MEN, How Did You Catch Your PERFECT WIFE Cheating?Stories of men catching their "perfect" wife cheating often highlight moments of heartbreak, betrayal, and shock, especially when the infidelity was unexpected. Here are common scenarios and ways men have discovered infidelity, often shared anonymously online or in real-life anecdotes:1. Suspicious BehaviorIncreased Secrecy: A wife suddenly became overly protective of her phone, using passwords or hiding messages.Changed Routines: Men noticed unusual work hours, frequent “girls’ nights,” or unexplained absences.Example: One man suspected something was off when his wife started staying late at work but never had a clear explanation. A surprise visit to her office revealed she wasn’t there.2. Technology Slip-UpsPhone/Texts: Finding flirtatious messages, suggestive photos, or incriminating chats on her phone.Social Media: Catching hints through tagged photos, private messages, or her behavior on social platforms.Shared Devices: Email or app notifications accidentally popping up on shared devices like tablets or smart TVs.Example: A husband received a text on their shared iPad meant for his wife, containing explicit details from her affair partner.3. Third-Party InformantsFriends or Family: Someone close spotted the wife with another man and felt compelled to share.Coworkers or Neighbors: Witnessing suspicious interactions and tipping off the husband.Example: A neighbor casually mentioned seeing the wife at a restaurant with someone who wasn’t her husband—on a day she was supposedly out of town.4. Gut InstinctBehavioral Changes: Sudden coldness, a lack of intimacy, or being overly defensive about small things.Intuition: A strong feeling that “something isn’t right” led men to investigate further.Example: One man felt uneasy when his wife kept “forgetting” her wedding ring. After a bit of digging, he discovered her affair with a coworker.5. Accidental DiscoveryCaught in the Act: Walking in unexpectedly or arriving home earlier than planned.Incriminating Evidence: Finding hotel receipts, gifts, or unusual purchases.Example: A man came home from work early one day to find his wife and her lover in their bedroom.6. Hired a Private InvestigatorSome men, feeling certain but lacking proof, have hired private investigators to confirm their suspicions.Example: A PI followed the wife to a hotel during a “business trip” and provided photographic evidence of her affair.7. Confessions or Slip-UpsUnintentional Confession: The wife let something slip during a fight or casual conversation.Guilt Confession: She admitted to the affair after struggling with guilt.Example: During a heated argument, a wife accidentally blurted out, “Well, at least he listens to me!” — leading to an unraveling of the truth.8. Unusual Financial ActivityBank Statements: Seeing charges for unexplained dinners, gifts, or trips.Unaccounted Expenses: Finding receipts for items that weren’t for the household or family.Example: A husband noticed repeated charges at a luxury hotel and eventually discovered his wife was meeting someone there.9. Friends of the Affair PartnerOccasionally, the affair partner’s friends or significant others have tipped off the husband.Example: The affair partner’s girlfriend found out and contacted the husband to reveal the truth.10. Emotional DetachmentChecked Out: The wife became emotionally distant, less engaged, and uninterested in shared activities.Focus on Someone Else: Overpraising a "friend" or constantly talking about someone new.Example: A husband noticed his wife’s emotional energy was directed toward a “new coworker” she couldn’t stop talking about, which led to the discovery of an affair.Common Themes After DiscoveryDevastation and Shock: Men often describe feeling blindsided, especially if they believed their relationship was strong.Confrontation: Many describe how they confronted their wives, and reactions varied from denial to tearful apologies.Moving On: Some men ended the relationship, while others chose to work through it, depending on the context and willingness to rebuild trust.Men, perfect wife, cheating, infidelity, betrayal, suspicion, affair, red flags, secret messages, phone activity, social media, unusual behavior, gut instinct, confrontation, private investigator, technology slip-ups, third-party informants, accidental discovery, emotional detachment, financial clues, hidden affair, guilty confession, caught in the act, unusual routines, trust issues, relationship breakdown, marital problems, incriminating evidence, hidden secrets, coping with infidelity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-stories-2025--5953081/support.
