SC - Todd Kohlhepp, known and possible victims

[PigPong]

I have not yet looked in Georgia and just found out TK went to elementary school in GA and may have been in a mental institution there as a child as well. He was also living in Arizona with his father as a teen and went to prison in AZ around 1987-2001.

Went to at least 5th grade in Elberton.

I guess I'll just put it out there that the gun seems to be his weapon of choice. He's not a strangler or stabber, it seems. We were told CDC was shot immediately. So I can see why road rage incidents might come up (although I don't think so far we've heard any modern day acquaintances say he has a temper ... it sounds like he kills very much "in cold blood").

In any case ... crimes where a gun was used (and quickly), or a gun could easily be used to gain control of someone, are what I'm envisioning.

I do think the most recent unsolved murder in spartanburg, Catherine Ann Blauvelt, could be him. Its the only stabbing I'd think was him, due to his comments on Amazon, which I personally believe to be true. He was looking to experience that.

What date did he buy the knife?

I admittedly didn't dig deep into the Amazon stuff--there was so much spam in the threads with Amazon reviews and screenshots that I started rolling past those posts.

 

[missellen]

He purchased the knife on 14th Sep 2014 and a smaller one on 16th Sep 2014. Does anyone else think CB and KB look similar?

 

[jinge]

Knife was 13th September, the review reads "havnet stabbed anyone yet...... yet.... but I am keeping the dream alive and when I do, it will be with a quality tool like this..."

[Bently]

Thanks. And was this in AZ? Is it safe to say he may have stayed in AZ a year or so before coming to SC?

In his realtor application he noted that his previous addresses for November 2001 to January 2002 was Moore,South Carolina

January 2002 until- 2006 application for the license places him Spartanburg South Carolina.

See main thread for screen cap.

Unusually high rate of unsolved cold cases for a county of that size according to this article (54 in Spartanburg):

Maybe with this arrest some of these will be solved, now.

[NineMilly]

Should we look into the "Todd Sampsell" name as a possible online moniker for Kohlhepp?

...The girl called police to report the incident with [/I]Kohlhepp, whom she said she knew as "Todd Sampsell," using his father's last name, according to court documents.

I have to amend my previous statement, i thought this was more recent, but it was in 2014!

 

[PositiveLight]

Oh Dear God. And this is just the ones close to him.

Okay, I'm going through and randomly clicking a few names on the long list (thanks Gardener!)

Julie Vess should be taken off. It looks pretty much like a suicide for her. Prescription drugs are pretty much what killed her if you look back, and LE believed she could self-harm.

Lila Mae Martin seems to be a bit older for how young(ish) TK was in 2004. Just noting that.

Sherri Pujzak doesn't seem like a good fit. She may have been last seen with a hispanic male, and I see that on here (http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/p/puzjak_sherri.html), one of the images is a 2005 mugshot. No one seems to be looking for her and there are few details of her disappearance, making me wonder if she was possibly involved in risky behavior that is more likely a reason for her disappearance. Orangeburg is also kind of far down I-26.

Christine Ludwig looks like a good candidate IF he felt comfortable going all the way to the south side of Columbia. She was still missing 6 months after her disappearance, and her car was found in a Bi-Lo parking lot but she wasn't -- so she was likely picked up by someone.

Similar to Christine, Lisa Shuttleworth is worth looking into IF he was willing to drive all the way to Aiken area... that's a long drive from Spartanburg, honestly, but we have no idea of his methods/motives. Here's a good article on Lisa's disappearance. http://www.wrdw.com/home/headlines/Nine-years-later-Aiken-Co-woman-is-still-missing-168565446.html

Going to keep working on looking these up. Thanks again, Gardener!

 

[kat913]

Wonder if he lured to his property and cars can be found in ravines....such a happy thought!

Just can't get past fencing in all that land and nothing but a garage etc. is on it.

I'm sure it's a nightmare and very tiring searching all that land etc.

 

[cementcanoe]

Did a timeline of TK's movements ever get posted? If so I totally missed it Nevermind, I finally figured out how to work the new forum (very nicely done, btw) but there has not been a timeline posted.

 

[ultraviolet]

After re-reading details I'd forgotten from years ago, I think it's almost 99.999% certain that Heather Sellers is not a victim of TK. The good news is that the guy who likely did kill her is in prison at least until 2035 for a murder he committed in 1995.

On Toasha Nichole Rices (aka Nikki Green) forum post #48 references her fB being hacked and that the hacker states Toasha (aka Nikki) is at "the beach". Then post #53 goes on to say that a person comments that Toasha (aka Nikki) is at "the beach" with David Griffigh and shows a link that he's indeed her friend on fB. David Griffigh profile appears to be a fake profile.

This sounds so much like how TK refers to missing people in his post being at the beach or with a boyfriend and how TK messed with CDC's fB and toyed with his family. I wonder if TK owned a black car back then?

Do we have a thread for Catherine Ann?
