A Note from the Moms: Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up: this is one of our early episodes, so please be gentle! We were still figuring things out, and we promise the audio quality and our hosting skills have gotten much better since. Thanks for sticking with us from the beginning! Welcome back to Moms and Murder! This week, we move out of Florida (mostly) and head to South Carolina to unravel the horrifying case of Todd Kohlhepp, the man who lived a double life as a successful real estate agent and a brutal serial killer. This is a story of a monster hiding in plain sight, whose dark secrets were blown wide open with the discovery of a woman chained up like a dog in a shipping container.In this episode, we discuss: •The Making of a Monster: We trace Todd Kohlhepp’s disturbing childhood, from early signs of aggression and animal cruelty to a violent kidnapping and rape at just 15 years old. •The Realtor Next Door: After serving time, Kohlhepp built a new life as a top-selling real estate agent, acquiring property, a pilot’s license, and the trust of his community, all while hiding his dark past and even darker intentions .•A Job Offer Turns Deadly: The story of Kala Brown and her boyfriend, Charlie Carver, a couple who went to Kohlhepp’s 100-acre property for a cleaning job and never came back. •Rescue from the Container: We detail the chilling rescue of Kala Brown, who was found chained inside a metal shipping container, and the immediate, horrifying story she told police about what happened to her boyfriend and the other bodies buried on the property .•Confessions and Cold Cases: Kohlhepp not only confesses to the murders on his property but also solves the infamous 2003 “Superbike Motorsports” murders, a cold case that had baffled investigators for 13 years. •Amazon Reviews from Hell: We read the actual, bone-chilling product reviews Kohlhepp left on Amazon for items like padlocks and shovels, where he bragged about his crimes in plain sight.
