KIDNAPPING SUSPECT ADMITS TO FOUR MURDERS

-

SPARTANBUR­G, S.C. A South Carolina man accused of holding a woman chained in a storage container was denied bond Sunday after investigat­ors say he also confessed to an unsolved quadruple murder that happened 13 years ago.

Authoritie­s have charged Todd Kohlhepp, pictured, with murder in the deaths of four people in 2003 at the Superbike Motorsport­s motorcycle shop in Chesnee, S.C. His alleged role was uncovered after the woman was found last week in a locked metal container on Kohlhepp’s property in Woodruff.

Kohlhepp is also charged with the woman’s kidnapping, and prosecutor­s say more charges are expected. Authoritie­s say he is a suspect in at least three other deaths, including the woman’s boyfriend, Charles Carver, 32, whose body was found in a shallow grave near the container.
