This is an aerial image of 213 Windsong Way. Notably, the Google Street View car has not visited the neighborhood yet.

The house was built in 1998. It has 4 bedrooms and is roughly 2,400 sqft in size.

Kohlhepp purchased the property for $137,500 in February of 2007. It was last sold for $295,000 in June of 2021.

When the police searched his residence, they discovered a stash of illegally purchased weapons. The stash included pistols fitted with suppressors and semi-automatic rifles.

There is no evidence to suggest that any of Kohlhepp's crimes were committed at this house. His last three killings all occurred at his remote rural property in Woodruff.

Murder victims

Between December 19th, 2015, and August 31st, 2016, Kohlhepp murdered Johnny Joe Coxie (29), Meagan Leigh McCraw-Coxie (26), and Charles David Carver (32).

In November of 2016, the authorities discovered their remains in a shallow grave.

One month after killing Carver, Kohlhepp accessed his victim's phone and started using his Facebook account. By that stage, both Carver and his girlfriend, Kala Brown, were listed as missing people.

After seeing a post questioning Kala's whereabouts, he responded with comments such as "Kala is with her husband Charlie" and "The people need to know that we are OK."

Everyone who knew Carver immediately realized that something was off.

Firstly, one of the comments was written in the third person. Secondly, Charlie rarely used Facebook.

Family and friends also noted that the couple had left behind Kala's beloved dog and important prescription medicine.

At that point, it started to become obvious that foul play was involved.

Kala Brown

Kala Brown was locked inside a large shipping container that had been padlocked.

When the police cut the door open with an angle grinder, they discovered the 30-year-old with a chain tied around her neck.

During a search of the property, the authorities came across an empty, unused grave. It is believed that this grave had been prepared for Kala.

Todd Kohlhepp

Growing up, Todd Kohlhepp was a troublesome child who exhibited aggressive behavior. He also displayed cruelty toward animals.

His parents divorced when he was just an infant, and he didn't get to meet his biological father until he was ten.

When he was nine, he was forced to undergo counseling for anger issues due to his destructive behavior in school.

During his teen years, he was described as "bright," but "behaviorally and emotionally dangerous."

In 1983, he was sent to live with his father in Arizona. Three years later, at the age of 15, he kidnapped a teenage girl at gunpoint, tied her up, and then raped her. In 1987, he pleaded guilty to the crime and received a 15-year prison sentence.

During the trial, it was noted that he had a preoccupation with sexual content.

Kohlhepp was released from prison in August of 2001. Following his release, he left Arizona and moved back to South Carolina.

Initially, he worked as a graphic designer. However, in 2006, he decided to become a real estate agent.

From that point on, he built a successful real estate business that employed more than a dozen people.

The site is situated close to a city called Woodruff.

In 2018, the land was purchased by a company called "Strange Properties #1 LLC" for $500,000.

Arrest

Shortly before 2 p.m. on November 3rd, 2016, the police arrived at Kohlhepp's house on Windsong Way and arrested him.

While he was seated and handcuffed, an officer explained that they had found Kala Brown locked inside a shipping container on his property:

"My seargent served a search warrant on your property. We have Kala... in your property. She was locked in a container. She has told us that you shot and killed Charlie."

During his arrest, Kohlhepp acted confused and denied any wrongdoing. He then politely asked for an attorney.
