Once someone has attacked and raped someone or kidnapped someone , lock them away ! All the blood of those innocent people murdered , should be on the hands of this messed up system !

They didn't mention it in this video, but the widow of the superbikes owner nearly had her life ruined by the cops trying to "solve" that case. They had their minds made up that she was responsible for the murders. They ruined her name locally, and almost caused her to lose her children. She finally moved away.

[@sammygirl6910]

I'm surprised they didn't mention it. It's kind of important since the cops had such tunnel vision that it may have contributed to the case going unsolved for as long as it did

[@blakesinclair488]

They mixed up blood samples and thought she had gotten pregnant by someone not her husband COPS MISTAKE (took a month to figure out), she said she moved because she didn't want to have people looking at her and her son as those poor people get things right. Cops didn't nearly ruin her life ,what an exaggeration. This is about this couple not everyone involved get it.

[@bryanrussell6679]

@@blakesinclair488 It was a lot more serious than just a simple mix up with blood samples. They were trying to charge her with murder. She had to hire lawyers to fight this. Do you think the cops were ready and willing to own up to such a bad mistake? No. They tried to spin a narrative that still included her involvement in the crime. I guess that's no big deal for you. But to regular people, being wrongfully accused of murder can ruin someone's reputation, their livelihood, their life.

[@blakesinclair488]

[@bryanrussell6679]

She talked about it in depth on whichever TV show was doing the story at the time. I can't remember if it was Dateline, 20/20, or 48 Hours but it was on a show like that. This was well before they knew Todd Kohlhepp was the murderer. She went thru hell, it wasn't just a minor clerical error. I haven't heard any recent interviews. But that's how it was described by her back then.

She literally saved absolutely NO ONE! She was at his mercy. She survived because he didn't kill her. She sure as hell didn't save Charlie. HE'S the hero, because he tried to protect her. So get real.

[@terredee]

@@wadewilson8011 You’re right, but here’s the but: Kala endured. Somehow, she kept this monster on ice so he didn’t kill her or anyone else, as far as we know. She didn’t lose her mind, despite the creepy things the creep did to her, and she was clearly and precisely able to tell the cops various claims he made to her. In my book, and most other peoples’ as well, that makes her a hero. As much a hero as her partner, in a different way. Open your mind, and you might understand that.

[@lucbelcher7256]

​@@terredee I couldn't agree with you more! Like she mentioned, he made it very well known that if I didn't do what he wanted and if I wasn't useful anymore that I would die like the others. I didn't use quotations because I know that wasn't word for word. Had she not played her cards right and gained his trust, she would be dead like the others. That very well would have left him open to kill more people and the bike store shootings may have never been solved. It's absolutely heartbreaking what happened to Charlie, the three people at the bike shop and the married couple. Thankful for Kayla and her courage.

[@R.Oates7902]

​​@@wadewilson8011 Kala didn't know in advance that that MONSTER would kill Charlie. He didn't let anyone know he was going to kill them before he did it. That's ridiculous! Edit: Kala did stop this guy from killing more people. The cops caught him because of her!

I lived in Anderson SC for about a year 1980-1981. I ran one of the two RadioShack's that was in town. It is hard to believe that something like this could happen in this beautiful place. If I had been smart I would have stayed there. It was a good place to live and a good place to raise a family. I eventually made it back to NC. I left Clinton SC in August 82 and I have driven through the area but I have not lived there in 42 years.

[@Carol-D.1324]

Todd’s mother was a piece of work too. One of the last interviews she gave, she just kept saying, “But he’s not a monster!”. She said no one in the family will have anything to do with him anymore and that when she died, she knew he would forever be in the world alone. Seems fitting now that she’s dead.

[@R.Oates7902]

This guy was a pervert in middle school! He RAPED a classmate. Throw away the key on this trash even back then! I never bought his story about being laughed at and bullied for his weight by the four victims in the bicycle shop. I think something else triggered him. Maybe he overheard someone questioning if he could afford it? Who knows. They didn't deserve to be murdered. The cops only solved the case when he admitted he killed them.

[@wynnkidsnannylorivance4111]

Hey Mom, yes, he most certainly is a monster. I know because I lived something similar and his mother didn't think he was a monster either. Family and friends don't always know until the mask slips or is ripped off by law enforcement and brave victims like Kayla. But they are monsters, predators.

[@arianaajbeaverhausen8175]

He's the very definition of a monster, "a person of unnatural or extreme ugliness, deformity, wickedness, or cruelty." No wonder he thinks that his behaviour is acceptable with a mother who clearly refused to hold him accountable or see him for exactly what he is, a vile and sadistic predator.

Kidnapping and sexual assault should be death. Or life with no parole. Often these predators get released and escalate their crimes. I think he killed the people at the motorcycle shop because he bought a motorcycle and had no idea how to ride it. He wanted a refund and they would not give him one. But I think he wrecked it. I might be wrong . But he just shot anyone he saw whom of which had nothing to do with his particular issue. Laws and sentences need to be thrown out and rewritten to fit todays crimes more specically and sentences need to be extremely harsh.

Fantastic police work, near miraculous, to have found her alive in time. What a terrible ordeal and her sweet boyfriend was killed, terrible. Hope they’re not gourmet feeding that obese gluttonous demon in prison.

[@constantinosschinas4503]

Such a brave and structured girl. Make you wonder how badly you cope with insignificant, little problems. Wish we were all that strong and fearless.

I lived in Spartanburg for 43 years it once was a good place to live ! I remember when this happened it was sad .

[@jamesclark8931]

I'm live in woodruff SC and when I tell you it's so much land out here my homeboy brother got shot and killed and we still haven't found his body his murderer shot and kidnapped him put his body somewhere and I helped search and search for his body and we still haven't found him and it's been at least 7-8 years now since his murder and still nothing his killer got 30 years but he would not tell law enforcement nor the pastor where he put his body sad situation smh

[@soniadeena8923]

I pray Kayla is doing better

[@Bebedollie]

Not being rude but this happens alot in America. In practically every state freaky stuff has happened

[@chriswitt2596]

Excellent job done by the commentator that told the story he just did a nice job. He didn't overemphasize things

[@ΦΡΑΝΣΟΥΑΖΠΑΝΑΓΙΩΤΙΔΟΥ]

Criminals assets should be seized and given to their victims as compensation

[@CarolBennett-dy6df]

She would've rather died than to relive the daily nightmare of what happened to her!

[@kathrynshields8221]

HOPE HE GETS A ROUGH TIME IN JAIL......WORST KIND OF A HUMAN.

[@propisthedevil8792]

Why in the F**K are these people allowed out of prison back into society??!! That cannot be rehabilitated!

[@sarahalbers5555]

Exactly 💯

[@tasmaniandevil7610]

It broke my heart to hear her say why did i survive? God bless her , andd her family

[@CrystalCannady-z8r]

,im from Greenville, and these 2 places are the worst I lived in Anderson and Spartanburg now and this was crazy

[@Barnsey87]

If she didn't make noise they would both be gone sadly.

[@cjmiller2037]

Unfortunately you cant say negative things about these murderers, God Will deal with this man.

[@hesuschrist9527]

This is scary, I live in Upstate SC. I graduated HS in Anderson County, Wren High..

[@shellchenonceau6987]

Hope the many sick career politicians who do similar crimes get caught too.

[@lisabarger574]

He's faced with nothing forever, just the he delivered his victem's,. Very Well Said!! Justice ⚖️ Served👍

[@ps603]

SHE was spared so that she could tell her story. If not for her the others wouldn't have been avenged.

[@kenneth1755]

Sittin' there in that orange jumpsuit he looks like the "Great Pumpkin." There's not even a prayer of undoing his carnage but I think it would at least be beneficial to explore these people's back life. Where, what and why. Where were you when you knew there was no going back. What was the incident and how did it play out from start to finish. And do you know the internal thought that drove you through the incident. There is always a single day and time when these people introspectively know they have gone around the corner.

[@Queendelaqueen]

Kaila BROWN YOURE A HERO glad you made it out safely im so happy you also decided to grief & get thru this trauma privately

[@waffle.345]

That man is sick!!! May he get back down to him what he did to all the other women and children. Hope he rots in prison for the rest of his life

[@carolrashee6346]

Very sad.

[@Tawroset]

Damn, I was born in that town. I still live in the state but I never heard of this before.

[@bjh1]

This is why you can't get your Real Estate License in Arkansas if your a felon. It should be that way in every state.

[@jeromebailey4656]

Met kala once shortly after this in a less than ideal environment that im glad ive stepped away from years ago. She was always outgoing and partying hard very soon after and i was little taken aback but thought she was probably just coping from such an unimaginable and traumatizing event. Very crazy story that unfolded in our community.

[@christinamenhennett]

Poor lady! Thankfully she lived and told! Poor victims! What a shame! Such a monster!

[@Raw_Roots]

Officials will say, OH, teenager just ran away. Oh, she didn't feed her dog, it's an emergency.

[@jayalexander3356]

If they'd sentenced him to life the first time 7 more people would be alive. I will never understand our judicial system.

[@josephbowles4995]

I remember those super bike murders they tried to pin it on the wife of one of the victims I think crazy shit

[@Badmomsclub]

Yeah he’s been good at laying low!! That’s why no one knew him

[@theSTEE7ERS58]

Thank you All for finding Kala 🙏🏼 ❤️ God Bless Us ❤️

[@aliamouzasakaluran5399]

She proud they have crime capital 🤯

[@sarahalbers5555]

My mom lives in Anderson. I am not happy about it. What a dreadful nightmare.

[@loufranklin1333]

Good y'all caught him

[@goochfitness26]

I remember this story
