Over the weekend, a North Texas woman saw a familiar face on the news.

“He’s being walked in the jumpsuit, and it’s all very upsetting.”

She said Antonio Lamar Cochran — the suspect in the Zoe Hastings murder — was one of her Facebook friends.

“I could hardly go to bed last night; I just kept thinking of that poor family and that poor girl and how scared she must have been, and it’s devastating,” the woman said.

Her sadness was coupled with great fear. “It very well could’ve been me.”

The woman, who asked that we not use her name, said Cochran friended her on Facebook last May, and that she accepted because he was a friend of a friend.

“He seemed perfectly normal… perfectly nice,” she said.

There’s been a big break in the murder case of 18-year-old Zoe Hastings.

U.S. Marshals arrested Antonio Lamar Cochran early Saturday morning after detectives matched DNA found at the crime scene with a criminal database.

Cochran, 34, was apprehended at an apartment in Northeast Dallas. He was charged with capital murder. Bond was set at $2.5 million.

“He’s obviously a sexual predator that’s been taken off the streets, hopefully not to do this ever again,” said Dallas police spokesman Maj. Max Geron.

Police said Cochran has a criminal felony record in Texarkana and Bowie County of offenses including theft and drug possession.

Hastings was found dead in her family’s minivan on October 12. The vehicle had been driven into a creek near her church.

Police in Dallas announced Tuesday that they have new clues in the murder of 18-year-old Zoe Hastings. They were able to locate another spot where her minivan crashed on the night that she disappeared, and even gave a description of a possible suspect.

Investigators have evidence that the teen’s white Honda Odyssey struck a speed limit sign near the intersection of Peavy Road and Newcombe Drive in east Dallas. A witness reportedly saw the crash occur between 4:40 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on October 11. Police are now asking everyone who lives in the area to check any security camera footage for video of the incident.

Neighbors were shocked to learn that Hastings might have passed by them that night. A man who lives near the flattened sign is a friend of the Hastings family. John Sexton said, “To have part of it occur less than 50 yards from the front door, it rattles you to the core.”

The body of Hastings — and the minivan — were found in a creek bed less than a mile away from her Lake Highlands home on October 12. She disappeared the night before, on her way to church.

Hastings was spotted on surveillance camera video at a Walgreens store along Garland Road, returning a movie to the Redbox machine outside. A witness saw a woman matching the teen’s description talking with a man at the store, located about a mile away from where the speed limit sign was run down.
