48 Hours investigates the kidnapping of Kala Brown and the murder of her boyfriend Charles David Carver in South Carolina. The young couple went missing earlier this year. An investigation led police to a farm owned by 45-year-old real estate broker Todd Kohlhepp. Carver worked for Kohlhepp, cleaning houses for his business. On the farm, Brown was found chained in a storage container where she had been held for two months. Brown told police Kohlhepp shot Carver dead in front of her. When Kohlhepp was arrested, he admitted to seven killing including a couple of drifters last December. Kohlhepp showed police where he buried them on his property, near Carver.
CBS News reports that Kohlhepp assaulted at gunpoint a 14-year-old girl when he was 15. He served 15 years in jail. His mother, Regina Tague, says “Todd was not a monster.” She says, “He wasn’t doing it for enjoyment. He was doing it because he was mad and he was hurt.” 48 Hours airs Saturdays at 10pm on CBS.
