Narrator

At this point in the investigation, Chief Frizzo feels like she's got a lot of evidence on the Cochrans.

Until the very next morning, she gets a call from one of the neighbors.

And that neighbor calls in the morning and said, I just want to let you know that they totally loaded up their truck and skipped town.

So I knew this was happening.

What was your reaction?

I was worried a little bit just because I was the one that was kind of the thorn in their side.

And so I wanted to be sure they weren't going to look for me or come over and find me.

Todd and David Saylor, the neighbors who reported that Cochran's missing, are brought in for questioning.

They tell police about another very interesting detail they say they observed around the time of Chris Reagan's disappearance.

According to David, the Cochran started renovating their house, but not during the day.

He could hear them in their basement using power tools for multiple nights.

You guys had heard them using these sanding tools and stuff, and you figured that was when?

Right around October.

Sanding away.

Sanding.

Reciprocating.

Reciprocating saws.

Skill saws.

The worst thing imaginable.

And I thought, you know, I can't, that can't be.
