SC - Todd Kohlhepp, known and possible victims

Tammy Kingery disappeared from North Augusta, Edgefield County, SC in September of 2014. Her daughter thought she saw her on the back of a motorcycle the day she disappeared. I'm guessing this guy was into motorcycles, and wondering if there's any connection here. The authorities said she had been in contact with two men (other than her husband) before her disappearance, but their names have not been released.
Not sure how to link her thread here without losing this comment ��

Here's her thread: http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...gery-37-North-Augusta-20-September-2014/page4

I'm still reading through her thread and I'm only on page 4 but so far it sounds like they suspected either suicide or her husband.
 
I believe he said it was upsetting the families of the missing. Surely to goodness no one would actually contact the families and ask them if they know anything.
If my loved one was missing I wouldn't care who was trying to get it solved honestly.
I think they would be glad people were trying to get these cases back into the media and solved finally.
What I think is they've been alerted to the list and are terribly embarrassed of the fact so many have been missing or cold cases.
More minds working out potentials can help them focus in on ID's and questioning him in regards to these cases.
Or comparing evidence.
I want justice for all of those that haven't received the attention they deserve or are forgotten and put on the back burner.
These families have probably tried in vain for years to get help with their loved ones cases only to be told there's nothing new or it's not priority.
Now they have people pushing for these cases to be solved. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if they are linked or not, they have been brought out of the
dusty files and will maybe get the attention they deserve.
This case is probably a total embarrassment to the local LE and all of those who played a part in him being free all these years.
The thing is though he was SMART. He had everyone fooled. So they should be glad they've stopped him at least. That they found one victim alive.
That they might be able to finally piece together all of these unsolved cases. I have a strong feeling many are the result of his hands.

The one thing that is sticking out in my mind right now is WHAT was the reason they were finally able to search his property? Who called?
Was it someone who knew what he was doing?

Maybe he was referring to all the new fb groups that have popped up?

One poster of a TK group contacted NN. I'm sure others have done the same.

I am thinking that TK has informed who these 2 unidentified victims are. But proper procedure and protocol has to be followed for correct identification. JMO.

Oh man. I feel so bad for the family having to watch that.
 
Oh, hey fellow Brit!

I was thinking today that it's not been reported on as much as I'd expect. Maybe I've been missing a lot of coverage. It's such a crazy case, I'd have thought it would be everywhere. Maybe my aversion to the Daily Mail means I don't see a lot though!

:wave:

I rarely watch TV news on the actual TV, I get my news from twitter lol I've seen a lot of British reports pop up, and yes the DM. I get the aversion I'm the same, that and the S*n, which I don't touch with a barge pole, BUT the Mail Online can be really good for missing person info and crime stories. They seem to have good sources at times.

ETA: It was on the MSN home page too when I first got online this morning

I'm wondering if he could legally own guns?

I would hope not!
But then again he hasn't seemed to follow the law so I doubt it would matter. Although that would be an excellent reason for a SW.

Supposedly he had "special permission" to have guns as a sex offender:
SIMPSONVILLE, SC (FOX Carolina) - Jennifer Waddell is trained to listen. She's the owner and hearing specialist at Sound Hearing in Simpsonville. So, when she had a bad feeling about Todd Kohlhepp, she listened to her gut.
"I started searching online and finding information out about this man," Waddell said.

She said more than a year ago when Kohlhepp was the listing real estate agent for a home she wanted to buy.

"Very erratic, weird behavior, creepy eyes and then making comments about the guns," she said.

She bought the home, but says during her closing meeting Kohlhepp acted strange.

"At the end of the closing he was bragging about his guns and stating how he was stressed out and how he was going to go shoot guns when he left," Waddell said.

She searched some more and found out he's a registered sex offender, a felon with guns, and a man armed with a real estate license.

"I contacted the Greenville Board of Realtors and they stated they knew who he was. They've had repeated complaints- had to bring him in several times to their office because of problems. And it was so bad that he left the county and took his license to Spartanburg. I contacted the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Department and asked to speak to the sex offender's office which I did. And she said he had to have special approval and he did," Waddell said.

He said he didn't want to give families false hope :(
I hope the families of the area missing are not getting lots of messages from their friends about TK but I'm guessing anyone in the area with a missing loved one is already aware and hoping for answers.

That's a rather odd way to phrase it, but might have been intentional. Think about it. These families are wanting to hang onto hope - that their loved one is still alive somewhere and hasn't been murdered at the hand of this serial killer.

Some of these family members might even be following these threads. We know some have their own forums here on WS. And unfortunately, some posters can be inadvertently insensitive.
 
Charles A Kusko Jr, 48, was found murdered in his Columbia SC home in Sept 2015.

He had recently earned his real estate license and was self-employed in the real estate field.

Columbia is a 1.5-2 hr drive from Spartanburg, and I haven't found any online connections between TK and Kusko, but the real estate aspect made me wonder.

. Does this give him unlimited access to all case notes and information gathered by LE?
Ability to cross examine witnesses? TIA

Yes, he will be able to attain everything his defense lawyer would be able to attain plus he can cross examine victims

I believe Ted Bundy represented himself. (As well as other SK). I am not surprised at all, this guy is narsissic pyschopathic sociopath.
 
I feel confident there will be a victim from April of this year and from 2014. His amazon reviews and SM seems to correlate.

Yes, he did. And he was allowed special privileges because of it. I'm betting TK knows all about Bundy.
