About this listen

 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.

    To better understand Lorenzo and Schweickert, their possible other crimes, and their MOs and victimology, Josh chats with clinical psychologist Dr. Scott (LA Not So Confidential) about killers who work in pairs, BDSM, Antisocial Personality Disorder, psychopathy, narcissism, and how homophobia made their ongoing crimes possible.
    Plus: The Warrior gene, behavioral drift, Kanye West, Anita Bryant, and more.

    At trial and at sentencing, Lorenzo's many surviving victims testified against him, including the impactful statements made by Albert Perkins, who Lorenzo kidnapped and assaulted in February of 2000. The testimony and eventual plea deals made by both Schweickert and Lorenzo would provide great insight into their MOs and victimology. But at what cost?
    Because by some accounts, investigators and the prosecution were as hard on the survivors as they were Lorenzo himself.

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.

Great cliffhanger, Josh
