From the outside, Michael and Natalie Cochran looked like a successful, involved West Virginia family — youth sports, church, a growing business, and a life that seemed to be taking off.

But when millions of dollars in promised government contracts never materialized and Michael suddenly collapsed at home with critically low blood sugar, the polished image began to crack.

What started as a fraud investigation eventually turned into something far darker. In this episode, we walk through the rise of Tactical Solutions Group, the mounting financial pressure, the events of February 6, 2019, and the six-year road that led to a life-without-parole sentence.

This is the case of Michael and Natalie Cochran.

In 1992, the brutal murder of an 18-year-old young woman shocked a quiet English community and sent police searching for a violent, experienced predator. The crime scene suggested someone dangerous, deliberate, and deeply sadistic — but the investigation would eventually uncover a truth no one was prepared to face.

This episode explores a case that defies expectations and challenges long-held assumptions about violence, psychology, and where evil comes from. It’s a story about how investigators got it wrong for years, how warning signs went unnoticed, and how one young woman’s life was reduced to evidence — while the person responsible hid in plain sight.

Some cases force us to ask uncomfortable questions.

This is one of them.
