A missing South Carolina woman was found chained in a metal storage container after she disappeared two months ago. But her boyfriend, who disappeared from their shared apartment the same day, is still missing.
Investigators found 30-year-old Kala Brown chained by her neck in a 30-by-15-foot storage container owned by her employer on Thursday, FOX Carolina reported. A sex crimes tip led them to the shipping container on a rural property owned by Todd Kohlhepp, a registered sex offender, where they heard banging from inside the metal crate. Kohlhepp is a real estate agent, and Brown reportedly worked for him cleaning houses. Kohlhepp was arrested for kidnapping.
Meanwhile, Brown’s boyfriend Charlie Carver remains missing as police caution that there may be bodies buried on the rural property.
Sheriff Chuck Wright told FOX investigators are currently overturning the 100-acre property with a backhoe after receiving a tip that as many as four bodies might be buried on the property.
“We’re trying to make sure we don’t have a serial killer on our hands,” Wright said.
Kohlhepp was convicted of a 1987 kidnapping, public records show. A real estate agent, Kohlhepp had access multiple rural properties including the overgrown lot where Brown was discovered in a storage unit. One of Brown’s friends told the Anderson Independent Mail that Brown worked for Kohlhepp cleaning houses before he showed them for sale.
Brown and Carver disappeared under unusual circumstances in August. Carver’s car vanished from outside their apartment, where their door was left unlocked. Inside, their dog had been left without food or water, and the couple’s medications were still on the property. Their phones went dead, or were turned off.
But to the horror of the couple’s friends, Carver’s Facebook page remained active, posting cryptic messages about the couple.
One ominous post featured an old picture of the couple with the caption “‘we are fine,’” Brown’s friend Lindsey Mayson told The Daily Beast last month, “which is not him. His Facebook posts have been hacked. It’s not him posting.”
Family members told FOX that Brown and Carver had been friends with Kohlhepp after meeting online, although he does not appear to be Facebook friends with Brown. A member of the couple’s local dating scene told The Daily Beast that Brown’s profile on a fetish site had been updated after her disappearance, which The Daily Beast was able to confirm. Carver’s Facebook was deleted following months of suspicious activity.
On his own Facebook, Kohlhepp appeared to comment on Brown and Carver’s disappearance.
“Reading the news.. this person missing, that person missing, another person missing.. oh wait.. that person just went to beach with friend, other person found with her parole violation boyfriend,” Kohlhepp wrote on September 15, apparently dismissing the disappearances.
“In the event I become missing, please note no one would take me… most likely if I am missing, its because my dumb ass did something on that tractor again and I am too stubborn to go to the doctor… I got 9 lives.. I aint done yet.”
