He'll probably be begging for the DP when he finds out how justice is handled down in Caroline.

Yes, that animal cage thing was something he did when he was a twisted kid.

But can't help but wonder if he was the one who took the dog crate from her apartment. Maybe not, because it would have been pretty risky to be seen at their apartment after they went missing...but who else would have taken it?

I just had a random thought...when he asked them to come clear brush, what if he also mentioned he had a bunch of barn cats he wanted help rounding up to take to a shelter or rehome? I can see them bringing their dog crate with them to try to save the cats he said were on his property. I know a few people have reported it is NOT missing but that was only rumor from social media that it was found, wasn't it? I'm not sure the news ever made a correction to clarify it wasn't missing. Why would family THINK it was missing those first days if it really was not? A dog crate is not something small like a cell phone or keys you could find later behind a piece of furniture or something. Where did they find it?

I am trying my darndest to catch up with the thread before I go to bed but I can't get to the end. You guys are posting faster than I can read and sleuth at the same time! So, I'll just say what I was going to say and hope it's not a repeat. A friend from Anderson just sent me a link to a post a former local Fox reporter made where he thought back over all the murders he reported on over the last 13 years and he's putting up all the ones he personally thinks TK may be involved in. One of them is the Blue Ridge Savings and Loan bank robbery and murder and I swear the wanted poster looks just like TK. He also lists the following murders: Crystal Bradshaw, The Pendleton Quadruple Homicide, Rabindra Sharma and Gumaro Bravo. The Pendleton Quadruple homicide would be an interesting one to look at him as a POI for...

Here's a comparison of the wanted posters from the Blue Ridge Savings and Loan:

The sketches do look like him. He bought the Windsong address in Feb., 2007 w/a mortgage from Citizen's First, for $130,600. That mortgage was cancelled October, 2012. The farmland was bought in 2014, for over $300k. That bank robbery was in 2003. If there are others, that could be one way he's been helping to finance his fairly comfortable way of life.

In that bank robbery article it says:

"The man seen in the sketches is described as approximately 5'6" to 5'8" tall, weighed 230 pounds and at the time of the incident, he was between 50 and 53 years old, according to the FBI. He had short, blond hair with a touch of gray, and was described as having a clean-cut appearance."

That does not fit TK.

If you guys think those posts are suspicious use the report button on them and report to the MODs. I believe under the TOS we are not allowed to sleuth other members but the MODS can make a decision to look at where the posts were made from. The poster claimed to live 2 miles from the murders. His IP address should confirm that or reveal if he really lived near TK's known addresses.

Thanks bunches, I'll get onto that right now.

If you check out that odd video on his YouTube of "his dog in a collar"....you will see his hair is light/oddly.

I found it but it is spelled wrong...but it is him, correct?

 

[formerjerseygirl]

Heather Sellers was last seen with a former boyfriend (whom she'd just broken up with 2 weeks before) who raped and killed another woman. Blood/hair was found in a car registered to him, but I've never heard of results from it. I'm almost certain she wasn't a victim of TK.

Still waiting on results from 2006......

 

[cementcanoe]

Is that not an older woman with thinning hair trying to get the vent off the collar?

TK got out of prison in 2001, then went to college for Real Estate. Did he behave himself until 2004, then suddenly murder 4 people? I wonder how often there was a missing person in the area before 2001, and how often there was a missing person afterwards. I would be interested to know if there were missing persons from his college campus ...

Not sure if it's him, but I get the feeling the Todd is the guy talking and that's a woman helping the dog out.

he might be filming it, but I don't think he's visible in that video. The man filming says to the dog "Are you taking out the vents for [redacted], are you cleaning them, are you telling her she's got something down there?" And then someone with a woman's voice comes on screen to remove the vent from the collar.

*Great minds, ChaosandOrder

I don't know who is in that video, but the bank robbery was in 2003 and I don't think that TK, at around age 32 then, would have been described as "between 50 and 53 years old". Also, he looks taller than 5' 6" - 5' 8".

Just wanted to note that those two women also went missing in August and September. Could be nothing, but you never know.

Yes it's late...need my glasses!! Never mind...still odd to put on a dog!!

He can change his hair to make it look gray but he could not make himself shorter. TK is 5' 11" tall according to this: http://www.homefacts.com/offender-detail/SC650388/Todd-Christopher-Kohlhepp.html

Plus he would have been 32 in 2003. Some men look older than they are but I can't see witnesses mistaking TK for a man in his 50's when he was 32....MOO.

But the facial characteristics do resemble him. There's a lot that can go wrong w/what people think they see at crime scenes, but the features do resemble. I think it was the Superbike description where they guessed the assailant to be between 20-40 something. That's a big range, but, the features still seemed to match up.

Someone had posted a minute ago about cold cases in Spartanburg...wanted to highlight something...but can't find post. But thanks here is article they had posted before.

http://greenvillejournal.com/2010/07/21/40-cold-cases-in-spartanburg-county/

Crystal Bradshaw was getting her life back together.

The 28-year-old mother had been separated from her husband for several months and had recently purchased a home on Northbrook Street off Highway 9 in Boiling Springs.

She was working as a waitress at the Peach Blossom restaurant and taking classes at Spartanburg Community College.

Then on June 3, 2007, someone killed her and set the house on fire to try to cover up the crime.
