March 7, 1971 - Todd Christopher Kohlhepp

Kohlhepp operated for over a decade across Spartanburg County before his crimes were fully uncovered, his concealment aided in part by a successful career as a licensed real estate agent. His confirmed killings span thirteen years, beginning with a quadruple homicide at a motorcycle shop in 2003, and his eventual arrest in 2016 came only after a surviving victim was discovered chained inside a storage container on his rural property. The gap between his first known offense and his capture reflects both the deliberateness of his methods and the difficulty investigators faced in connecting crimes separated by years.
