Man who chained woman inside container in South Carolina confesses to four murders

but probably killed more

Suspect in Kala Brown Abduction Case Confesses to 4 Murders:

The suspect in a chilling case where a missing woman was found alive and chained inside a metal container in South Carolina may have killed 7 people, the Spartanburg County sheriff said Saturday.

Todd Kohlhepp, 45, pointed out two more grave sites on his property and told investigators he killed four people in 2003 during Super Bike Week, Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright said.

The confirmed number of deaths linked to Kohlepp is five, Wright said. The grave sites could possibly hold two more victims but that has not been confirmed, he said.

Earlier Saturday, Wright and the county coroner identified a body found in a shallow grave Friday as that of Charlie Carver, the missing boyfriend of the woman who was found chained alive, Kala Brown

The man arrested after authorities found a woman chained on his property in rural South Carolina killed at least seven people, and his confessions have solved a 13-year-old case, Sheriff Chuck Wright said on Saturday.

Todd Kohlhepp confessed he was the shooter who killed four people at a motorcycle shop in Spartanburg County in 2003, Wright said.

“God is good,” he said. The community is no longer wondering who’s responsible for the “four people who were brutally murdered”.

His confession came one day before the 13th anniversary of the deaths of the owner, the service manager, the mechanic and the bookkeeper of Superbike Motorsports in Chesnee.
