Spartanburg, South Carolina – Search for Additional Victims of Serial Killer Todd Kohlhepp Yields No Results
The recent search for additional victims linked to notorious serial killer Todd Kohlhepp has concluded without uncovering any new evidence or human remains. Law enforcement conducted intensive searches in a wooded area off Interstate 26 following new tips that suggested the possible existence of more victims, specifically mentioning individuals in the pizza delivery profession.
Kohlhepp is currently serving multiple life sentences for the murders of seven individuals across South Carolina, specifically from Anderson, Spartanburg, and Chesnee. He made headlines in November 2016 when he was arrested after Kala Brown was discovered chained on his property, having been missing for over two months. Brown’s disappearance led authorities to uncover her boyfriend, Charlie David Carver, alongside other victims, namely Johnny and Meagan McCraw-Coxie, all located at the same site.
In a shocking development, Kohlhepp confessed to murdering four individuals at Superbike Motorsports in Chesnee in 2003. As the details of his crimes emerged, investigators noticed that the feet of two victims, Carver and Coxie, were missing, igniting further speculation and intrigue around the true extent of Kohlhepp’s criminal activities. Despite this unsettling finding, Kohlhepp claimed he had no knowledge of their absence.
Interestingly, Kohlhepp has also suggested in correspondence to law enforcement that he is responsible for more killings. He indicated a willingness to aid investigators in solving cold cases, provided he is granted immunity from additional charges. This assertion has led investigators to explore several leads and search areas they believe could potentially yield further evidence.
The recent extensive search effort involved around 20 deputies, specialized equipment, and cadaver dogs. However, conditions hindered the search, including challenging terrain and weather issues that made the investigation difficult. Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright reflected on the thorough nature of the searches, acknowledging the obstacles faced by the teams deployed.
As of now, there are approximately 85,000 active missing person cases across the United States, emphasizing the ongoing concerns about unidentified victims in the Kohlhepp case. The authorities are aware that unresolved cases can be linked to serial killers, which continues to shape their investigative strategies going forward.
The chilling nature of Kohlhepp’s crimes has also been captured in a documentary titled “Serial Killer: Devil Unchained,” which aired on Investigation Discovery, starting July 22, 2025, and featured three episodes. The documentary explores the broader implications of Kohlhepp’s actions and includes discussion of the investigation into potential new victims. In a particularly sinister segment of the program, Kohlhepp articulated thoughts suggesting a methodical unravelling of truths, likening it to “a loose string on a sweater.”
Before his capture, Kohlhepp resided at Hunt Club Apartments after relocating from Arizona. He claimed to have committed two murders in that area due to alleged harassment from neighboring residents, painting a picture of his troubled psyche. Authorities have previously investigated the disappearances of Johnny and Meagan Coxie, but those inquiries did not consider cellphone pings, as it was believed the couple did not own mobile devices.
As the investigation continues, the search for more victims associated with Todd Kohlhepp remains a high priority for law enforcement, as they strive to ensure that all potential cases of the missing are addressed and properly investigated.
