While you're waiting for the new season of Mind of a Monster, check out a new podcast from ID: Why Can't We Talk About Amanda's Mom? Listen to episode 1, Renee, here.

In November 1993, a veteran discovers the body of a woman on a dirt road near Interstate-10 in Mobile, Alabama. She’s nude, drained of blood, and decapitated. But despite the horrific nature of the murder, it garners little sympathy in the press and detectives fail to close the case. Over the course of 8 episodes, host Sarah Cailean recounts her three-year investigation into this unsolved and perplexing murder that seems to leave more questions than answers. With the full support of the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, she revisits the original investigation, digs up new evidence, and interviews new suspects - recording every step of the way. Cailean hopes to rectify the mistakes of the past and bring some answers to a family still struggling to make sense of what happened – and uncover just why it has been so hard to talk about.

While most of these exchanges were the run-of-the-mill "for better or for worse" and "in sickness and in health" - one of their promises was quite disturbing. On their wedding night, the young couple made a murderous pact... if either of them ever cheated on their spouse, they'd have to kill the extramarital lover.

On this episode of HNTRASK, Michelle and her good friend Annie dissect the crimes and psyche of serial killer, Kelly Cochran and her husband Jason. As a textbook antisocial psychopath, Kelly used her cold nature and manipulative prowess to evade authorities after (allegedly) killing over a dozen individuals. Kelly's reign of terror finally came to an end at a BBQ she hosted, when her guests began to question why the cuts of BBQ meat looked so strange...
