The Shocking Story of Kelly Cochran: The “Devil Woman of Michigan” and Her Twisted Murder Pact

Kelly Cochran wasn’t your typical serial killer. Dubbed the “Devil Woman of Michigan,” her chilling story is detailed in Fox Nation’s true crime documentary "Love You To Death." This spine-tingling tale of murder, manipulation, and deception begins with a bizarre marriage pact that would ultimately lead to multiple deaths and years of investigation.

A Murder Pact That Turned Deadly

On their wedding night, Kelly and her husband Jason Cochran agreed to a shocking vow: if either one had an affair, the unfaithful partner or their lover would have to die. This unsettling agreement would later turn into a real-life horror story when Kelly began an affair with her coworker, Christopher Regan.

Two years after Regan’s disappearance in Michigan, authorities finally linked Kelly Cochran to his murder. The investigation took a dramatic turn when Kelly called 911 in Indiana to report that Jason, her husband, was no longer breathing—another victim in what investigators believe was her deadly scheme.

Inside the Mind of a Killer

Detective Jeremy Ogden and former Iron River Police Chief Laura Frizzo played key roles in solving the case. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, they revealed how they pieced together the events and psychological profile of Kelly Cochran.

“She was manipulative, highly intelligent, and emotionally disconnected,” Ogden said. “She had studied psychology, forensics, and human behavior—making her extremely difficult to crack in the interrogation room.”

Ogden even resorted to psychological tactics, such as carving “CHRIS IS HERE” into a tree near Kelly’s usual hangout spot, to provoke a confession. Ultimately, she admitted to Regan’s murder but tried to shift the blame to Jason.

A Chilling Confession

Laura Frizzo recalled a key moment during the investigation: a two-hour jail cell conversation with Kelly just before she led police to Regan’s remains. In that conversation, Cochran admitted, “No one made me this way… I was born like this. I don’t feel sadness. I’m not remorseful.”

Despite knowing the horrors Cochran had committed, Frizzo described a strange emotional tug during that jailhouse conversation, saying, “It was bizarre how I started to feel sorry for her, even though I knew she was evil.”

Life Sentence and Aftermath

Kelly Cochran was ultimately convicted of murdering Christopher Regan and sentenced to life in prison, plus 65 years. Her case left a lasting impact—not just on the families involved, but also on the investigators. Ogden and Frizzo, who met during the investigation, later fell in love and are now married.
