Mike Cochran, an award-winning AP reporter and three-time nominee for the Pulitzer Prize, grew up several miles from Doyle Brunson, and spent 39 years with the international news service roving Texas, interviewing its offbeat characters and reporting on its darkest crimes and deepest secrets. He has covered everything from the Kennedy assassination and Ruby trial, to the Apollo 11 moon-landing mission and the Branch Davidian siege and several of the state's high-profile murder trials.
He's written four books including Texas vs. Davis, the definitive book on the murder case of Fort Worth millionaire T. Cullen Davis. Deliver Us From Evil, a trilogy of true-crime stories, included the scandalized Dallas minister Walker Railey and the case of falsely accused fugitive Kenneth Miller, the inspiration for a CBS Television movie, Fugitive Among Us, starring Eric Roberts and Peter Strauss. With co-author John Lumpkin, he wrote West Texas.
Cochran has also won a Katie award (for his book Shattered), six Headliner awards, two Headliners Star Reporter of the Year, the Associated Press Managing Editors Top Performance Award, and the prestigious Stanley Walker journalism award in 1987 and 1991.
