Where Monsters Hide: Sex, Murder, and Madness in the Midwest

By M. William Phelps

Book Overview

An unexplained disappearance spirals into an unrelenting murder mystery.

In October 2014, local Michigan police chief Laura Frizzo faced a perplexing missing-person case. It was not like Chris Regan, a devoted father and dependable employee, to take off without explanation. When Frizzo learned Chris was having an affair with Kelly Cochran, a married co-worker, suspicion fell on Kelly's hulking husband, Jason. Soon after that the Cochrans abruptly moved to Indiana.

Sixteen months later, Jason Cochran died from a drug overdose. Friends and family rallied around the grieving Kelly. But when the coroner ruled Jason's death a homicide, no one reacted more bizarrely than his widow. Detectives tried to put Kelly's past into focus. But the horrific truth was hidden under a near-perfect patchwork of lies. Veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps expertly reveals Kelly Cochran's staggering saga of murder, revenge, and payback.

Where Monsters Hide...A great, but sad read.

I love M. William Phelps! His books is what I like to call a fast read. They have such great detail, clear explanations with footnotes if needed. The pages seem to turn themselves. I loved him on his Dark Minds show on Discovery ID but his books are even better. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
