SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — A woman who was "chained up like a dog" for weeks in a dark storage container was lured to her captor's South Carolina property for a cleaning job, a family friend said Friday as search teams digging up the area found one body and looked for more.

Authorities were "trying to make sure that we don't have a serial killer on our hands," the sheriff said. Investigators were told the property could hold as many as three other corpses.

Prosecutor Barry Barnette said the woman saw her captor shoot and kill her boyfriend, who went with her to the job. The body discovered Friday was not immediately identified.

The couple disappeared around Aug. 31 when they went to do the work on the suspect's nearly 100-acre property in a rural area near the community of Woodruff, said Daniel Herren, a friend who sat with her in her hospital room after she was rescued Thursday.

2. A real life fucking horror story

[hj.anony1]

3. Outside of this

presidential election, this is the story the media and by extension all of us would be consumed by.

[whathehell]

12. There would be nothing wrong with that..The continuing war against half of humanity

via attacks like this merits consuming attention...If we could only get from REPORTING it, to actually DOING something

to cure the sick hatred that boils over into crimes like this every day, it would be a lot more constructive.

2. Kohlhepp Was Arrested in 1986 for Sexual Assault; His Father Said at the Time ‘The Only Emotion Todd Has Is Anger’
Todd Kohlhepp Sex Offender



(South Carolina Sex Offender Registry)

According to South Carolina’s sex offender registry, Kohlhepp was arrested in 1987 on a charge of kidnapping. That listing gives his address as 213 Windsong Way in Moore, South Carolina. This is believed to be Kohlhepp’s primary residence.

According to documents seen by WFXG, the judge in Kohlhepp’s 1986 case wrote at the time:

At less than the age of 9, this juvenile was impulsive, explosive, and preoccupied with sexual content. He has not changed. He has been unabatedly aggressive to others and destructive of property since nursery school. He destroys his own clothing, personal possessions and pets apparently on whim.

He is extremely self-centered with high levels of anti-social personality functioning, and likely continuing aggressive behaviors toward others in the future.

Twenty-five months of the most intensive and expensive professional intervention, short of God’s, will provide no protection for the public and no rehabilitation of this juvenile by any services or facilities presently available to the Juvenile Court.

The station adds that Kohlhepp’s mother said her son would make suicidal threats to her. While his father said, “The only emotion Todd seems capable of showing is anger.”



wtf all round

5. Wow - born evil and worthless from the start. nt

[whathehell]

13. Note that the judge dismissed the "expensive" treatment, seemingly out of hand

How does he know it wouldn't help him?...Truly, I'm not sympathetic to this sick bastard, but only wonder if that "expensive"

treatment might have made women in his community safer.

[christx30]

20. I think he was saying that nothing could be done medically to help him

not be this way, but the only way to protect the women in the community would be to put this guy into a cage and weld it shut. That'll probably happen now. There's no way this guy is ever going to get out of prison. I hope he can find a way of getting some help, but no one is going to trust him with freedom ever again.

[whathehell]

24. He may have been

but I guess my question was, is that a mental health professional's opinion, or was that just the judge's opinion?...That said, I certainly agree that protecting society from these monstrous crazies must be the first priority.

29. Dude is seriously disturbed.

Found this on a reddit thread about him. This is some amazon product reviews. Screenshots were compiled by a redditor.

Hiding in plain sight.

[whathehell]

30. Oh yes..

You'll get no argument from me there. It's terrifying to imagine how many of these freaks may be out there.

[blueseas]

15. Though that as well.

I really believe some are born this way.

[LeftyMom]

6. Well, there's 1/3 of the McDonald triad.

I'd put money on the other 2/3 and a childhood head injury.

[womanofthehills]

18. Agreed - another site linked to his Facebook page

He talked about being beaten by mom, and then again when dad came home and finally tied to a tree by grandpa and whipped.

However, the psych reports also say he put clorox in goldfish bowl, shot dog with be be gun, trashed his room with a hammer, sexually acted out at a young age, very disruptive at school, etc. A little psychopath - head injury or he might have inherited some kind of psychopathy.

7. Ethnicity: non-hispanic?????

[alphafemale]

8. That is the common way of listing it now.

Race - White And Ethnicity - Hispanic or Non-Hispanic.

[whathehell]

14. I noticed that too..

I've never seen it before..Seems odd.

I hope she can somehow heal and find her way back.

I hope he gets placed in the most miserable prison that we have to the last of his ghastly days.

[madokie]

10. Yes

People like him have no right to life but live we must make sure he does and for a long ass time.

Death would be too easy for scum like this one.

IMHO

[oneshooter]

25. Put him in a cell with Charles Manson.

And see what happens.

[wisteria]

11. Lived in Spartanburg, SC doesn't put money into really helping special needs children,

or mental health issues. They just like to drug them up. I am not defending the horrible acts of this man, but I do wonder if the medical community really made much effort to help him as a child.

19. Empathy is missing in the psychopath

I don't know if empathy is something teachable.

Police vehicles continued to crisscross the property of Todd Christopher Kohlhepp, a 45-year-old registered sex offender.

"This is a very, very dangerous individual," the prosecutor said.

Guns and a large amount of ammunition were seized from Kohlhepp, the prosecutor said.

"It's unbelievable how much he had," he said, adding that Kohlhepp frequently took target practice in an area near the storage container.
