The Pact

By: Studio BOTH/AND
  • Summary

  • It started with the 2014 disappearance of an Upper Michigan man named Chris Regan. The two-year investigation into his disappearance would take authorities on a strange journey into a world of sex, drugs, pig farming, alleged cannibalism, and serial murder; all stemming from a wedding day pact between Kelly and Jason Cochran, that resulted in the murder of at least two men. Investigative reporter, Josh Hallmark, dives through thousands of case files and dozens of hours of interviews with Kelly to make sense of the breadth of her crimes and her often contradictory stories, in hopes of identifying her additional victims she's refused to name... if there even are any.

  • Check out my newest podcast: Unsafe Spaces
    Oct 19 2023
    Unsafe Spaces is an investigative, serialized true crime podcast that explores the crimes that take place in the places we’re supposed to feel safest.

    In Season One: Tampa’s Missing Men, I explore how two different missing persons cases, reported on the same day, opened a Pandora’s Box of unreported assaults, cold missing persons cases, ignored rapes, and unsolved murders within Florida’s gay community; and the two men who could be responsible for all of them. Not to mention cold cases of missing gay and murdered men in Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and beyond.

Great cliffhanger, Josh

All the previous episodes are as well done but technically, I haven’t been able to enter a review.
Josh Hallmark is an incredibly clever and creative investigator and researcher. He comes up with the most interesting and productive angles: what to research and how to present the story.
If you’re unaware of TCBS, the serialized story of Israel Keyes, it’s brilliant. Check it out.
