A second body has been unearthed on the Woodruff, South Carolina Farm on Sunday of suspected serial killer Todd Kohlhepp. The case is getting more grisly as the time passes. This on top of a 13-year-old quadruple homicide case has many in this quiet rural area of South Carolina stunned.
The case was Spartanburg County’s first quadruple homicide, the Greenville News reported. Kohlhepp hasn’t revealed a motive for the killings and declined to speak when Magistrate Judge Jimmy Henson offered him the chance to make a statement at his bond hearing on Sunday. The victims’ families were there as Henson denied bond for Kohlhepp. After Kohlhepp left the courtroom, Henson addressed the victims’ families, saying: ‘What you’ve gone through … is beyond what a lot of people would understand.’ Kohlhepp, who was added to the sex offender registry in Arizona after being convicted of raping a 14-year-old girl, is also charged with kidnapping a woman and keeping her chained on his property.

‘He knew too much about the crime scene, Mellisa Ponder, wife of one of the 4 victims murdered 13 years ago said of Kohlhepp’s account to detectives. ‘He knew everything.’ She added: ‘It isn’t closure, but it is an answer – and I am thankful for that.’ Detectives told Ponder Kohlhepp was an angry customer who had been in the shop several times, she said. All four victims were shot multiple times, authorities said at the time. Before Kohlhepp emerged as a suspect, investigators said all four victims were killed with the same 9 mm pistol.
