Ep 14. Kelly Cochran

Kelly Cochran was the kind of woman who always dreamed of a better life, but her dreams led her down a dark path of obsession, betrayal, and murder. In Snapped season 24 episode 14, viewers are introduced to Kelly and the heinous crimes that destroyed multiple lives.

Born and raised in Michigan, Kelly married fellow machinist Jason Cochran in 2002. She reportedly had affairs with both men and women throughout her marriage, with Jason's approval. However, the couple's supposedly open relationship turned volatile when Kelly became obsessed with a man named Chris Regan. The two worked together at a Hobart Corporation plant in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and Kelly was enamored with the seemingly charismatic Regan.

When Regan suddenly disappeared in 2014, police found a puzzling trail of clues that eventually led them to Kelly. Through a series of interviews and investigations, they discovered that Kelly and Jason had lured Regan to their home for sex, and then murdered him. Kelly had allegedly injected Regan with a lethal dose of heroin and then watched as Jason stabbed him to death.

But the story only gets darker from there. Investigators soon discovered that Kelly had also poisoned her husband, Jason, with a deadly dose of heroin, all while carrying on a secret affair with a man named Chris Jensen. Jensen was a witness for the prosecution against Kelly, describing how she once bragged to him about killing multiple people and even feeding body parts to neighbors during barbecues.

In the end, Kelly Cochran was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of Chris Regan, and prosecutors believed she may have been responsible for multiple homicides in other states. Snapped season 24 episode 14 dives deep into the twisted psychology of a woman who seemingly had everything she ever wanted, but always felt like something was missing.

Through interviews with law enforcement officials, forensic experts, and family members of the victims, viewers gain insight into the motivations and methods behind Kelly's crimes. The episode highlights the ways in which Kelly's upbringing, her erratic behavior, and her relationships drove her to commit unspeakable acts of violence.

Snapped season 24 episode 14 is not just a true crime story; it's a cautionary tale about the dangers of obsession, greed, and the search for happiness at any cost.
