KALA BROWN FOUND ALIVE, “CHAINED LIKE A DOG” INSIDE SEX OFFENDER’S STORAGE CONTAINER
A South Carolina woman who had been missing since August was found alive on Thursday. Police discovered Kala Brown, 30, chained up inside a storage container on property belonging to registered sex offender Todd Kohlepp.
Brown’s boyfriend, Charles Carver, 30, who disappeared at the same time she did, remains missing. Searchers did find Carver’s car on Kohlepp’s property, however.
Acting on a tip regarding an unrelated sex crime, police were searching Kohlepp’s 95-acre property when they heard loud banging come from inside a metal storage container. Officers pried open the door and found Brown conscious, alert, and breathing. She also seemed to have been fed regularly.
As Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright noted, “She looked good for somebody who’d been chained up a like a dog for two months.”
Brown told the rescuers she had been held in the 30-by-15 foot container for two months. She also said that the man who kidnapped her claimed to have buried four bodies on the surrounding grounds.
Officers arrested Kohlepp, 45, for kidnapping. Kohlepp is registered as a sex offender in South Carolina due to a kidnapping charge he incurred when he was just 15 years old.
Neighbors expressed shock and described Kohlepp as “quiet, if sloppy.” Manfred Lewis, an agent at the real estate firm where Kohlepp worked, had no idea about his coworker’s past and said, “This is a nightmare.”
