Preface
2016, an American couple disappeared inexplicably.
When the police ended up with the female victim, she was tied to a container like a dog by the murderer, and she had suffered 65 days of inhuman torture.
What shocked the police was that after the case was solved, many old cases were involved.
Who is the cruel murderer, and what secret is hidden behind it?
01. The couple who disappeared inexplicably
September 1, 2016, a residential area in South Carolina, USA woke up in the morning light as usual.
Daishan walked out of the house and looked up and found that the puppy of her neighbor Cara Brown was lying listlessly in the yard next door, staring at her meal bowl boredly.
In the past, Kara had already finished feeding the puppy and began to take her around for a walk.
Thinking of this, Daishan realized that she had never seen Carla Brown a day yesterday, nor did she see her boyfriend Charles Carver who lives with her.
Daishan then took out her phone and dialed Kara's number, but found that her phone was in a state of no answer.
I noticed that Daishan was vaguely wrong and quickly started to contact Kara's sister. They had left each other's contact information at a family party organized by Kara.
The sister who learned of this abnormal situation came from home and confirmed that Carla and Charles were not in the room.
Kara and Charles
Afterwards, they tried every means to find ways to contact Kara and Charles, but they all ended in failure.
The family, friends and colleagues of the two said they had never seen them and could not contact them.
After realizing that Kara and Charles were missing, Kara's sister immediately chose to call the police, and the police quickly investigated the couple's disappearance.
But disappointingly, the police have obtained too little effective information. The owner of the bakery said that the couple had visited his store on the morning of August 31, and this was the last person who had seen the missing couple. The surveillance of the
community shows that the couple drove out the door together, but in the subsequent surveillance, no shadow of this car was found again.
These two people are like evaporating from the world, and no one knows where they are.
Because there was too little information obtained, the police's investigation of the case was once stagnant.
A month after Carla and Charles disappeared, a message on the Internet attracted everyone's attention.
A netizen named Charlie David left a message to Carla's friend Davis , claiming that Carla is currently with her boyfriend Charles.
After learning this information, Davis asked him immediately, "Why didn't Cara contact any of us?"
David replied mysteriously, "She doesn't want to."
Seeing that the netizen did not want to reveal more information, Davis could only choose a compromise question:
"At least you want to let us know that she is still alive, right?"
In the end, David gave the reply: "We are all very good."
Internet message
After ending this bizarre conversation, Davis quickly provided the message to the police.
The police immediately investigated the man named David through the network IP address, but the results of the investigation were disappointing.
The IP address used by this person is in an Internet cafe where you do not even need to register for the Internet. However, after further investigation, David himself found that his social account had been stolen very early.
So, this person just used the stolen David account to leave messages on the online media.
This person may even be just an online gangster who wants to attract attention and make up lies. In this direction, the real identity of the murderer cannot be found.
Just when everyone was disappointed with the investigation results, the police had a new idea.
Maybe they can investigate Kara and Charles' social media accounts so that they can find more people who have communicated with Kara.
followed this idea to investigate, and the police actually found a suspicious message on Kara's social private message.
Can this information help the police find out the real murderer?
02. Double-sided rich man
is lying in Kara's private mailbox.
"I think your boyfriend is very suitable for this job. You can take him to my company with you. My company is in Moore."
This information comes from a person called Todd Korhepp . The message was sent exactly the day before Kara disappeared, and everything seemed an incomparable coincidence.
From the chat history, we can see that Carla and Todd have not communicated online for a long time, and the content they chatted is basically related to professional knowledge. It can be seen that the two are ordinary netizens.
In the subsequent investigation, the police also confirmed from Charles' relatives and friends that Charles is indeed looking for a job at present.
Will the disappearance of this couple really have something to do with this man named Todd?
Todd Korhepp
The police immediately retrieved Todd's personal information, and his rich and excellent resume really scared the police.
Todd Korhep is a well-known real estate agent locally and has already started his own company a few years ago.
There are several properties and luxury cars under his name. What is even more enviable is that Todd spent about 95 acres of forest land in Woodruff, and he is a veritable wealthy businessman in the local area.
According to common sense, such an excellent person has no reason to kidnap a female netizen whom he had just known for a few days.
But since Todd is suspicious, the police will investigate him.
After meeting Todd, he generously admitted that he had met Kara and Charles on August 31.
He claimed that he and Charles' boyfriend talked about salary and benefits, and the couple left Moore after that. There is no problem with sayings like
, but Todd seemed to have other secrets in his extremely calm eyes.
Police retrieved data from Kara, Charles and the three of them, and got some discoveries from it.
data shows that when the mobile phone signals of Carla and Charles finally appeared, they were with Todd's mobile phone signals, and the time display was not consistent with the time when Todd said that the couple left.
Because of this suspicion, the police applied for a search warrant for Todd.
The police first searched several Todd's properties and did not get any gains. At this time, they decided to search for the forest land purchased by Todd.
After all, that land not only has a beautiful environment, but to a certain extent, it is also a secret hiding place.
Just like that, they entered the forest and began to search carefully, and finally found a container.
Before entering the container, the police heard the sound of metal hitting in the container and the sound of a woman's hoarse call.
Wait until the police knocked open the container, and the one who appeared in front of them was Kara who had been missing for 65 days.
She saw heavy chains around her neck, and scattered instant biscuits around her, without even a bottle of clean drinking water. It can be seen that she was inhuman tortured by Todd during these 65 days.
After seeing the police, Carla said sadly that her boyfriend Charles had been shot and killed by Todd on the first day he came here. After that, Todd transported Charles' body to the forest for burial and hid Charles' car.
At the same time as Kara was found, the police put shiny handcuffs on Todd.
At this time, Todd was extremely angry and shouted to everyone, "You all deserve to die."
What exactly did the poor Kara experience in these 65 days? What secret will she tell the police?
Container that detains Kara
03. Painful memories
In the eyes of all those who know Kara, she has always been a girl who dares to take risks and is positive and optimistic.
After experiencing this misfortune, Kara left an extremely painful memory in her life. Every time she thought of those days when she was imprisoned and tortured for more than two months, she would unconsciously start to tremble all over and her scalp numb.
At first, she communicated with Todd because she saw the recruitment information on his personal media account.
During this period, Todd's words and deeds were very polite, and what he said was extremely professional, which made Kara think that he was indeed an excellent entrepreneur.
Under the confusion of Todd's excellent appearance, Carra and Charles really drove to Moore.
Using the excuse of understanding the work environment, Todd brought the two of them to the forest.
Then he took the opportunity to shoot Charles from behind and force Kara to come to the container in the forest.
Cara and Charles' car
Todd raped and beat Kara here, and then put a heavy iron chain on Kara to limit her movements. After
Every time Todd comes to the container, he will invade Kara and try his best to torture and insult her, and will not even provide her with decent food and water.
Occasionally Todd would take Kara to another forest hut for sexual assault.
The first floor of this hut is an abandoned warehouse, piled up with various dusty farm tools. The second floor is a simple bedroom, equipped with iron chains and locks.
Kara has tried to resist, but every resistance is exchanged for Todd's insult and torture.
Once, after Todd beat her, he viciously warned her:
"The last couple was not obedient enough, so I shot her to death."
Another hut
It was this information that made Kara realize that Todd was carrying more than Charles' life.
This wealthy businessman who seems to be an elite is actually a demon who kills without blinking.
In order to tell the police this information and to avoid more people being hurt, Kara told herself on the verge of collapse that she must survive and expose the evil deeds that this demon did.
After being rescued, the police attached importance to what Kara said and immediately conducted an in-depth investigation into Todd.
The results of this investigation shocked everyone to their chins.
It turns out that Todd had sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl when he was 15 years old and was sentenced to 15 years in prison for .
However, after he was released from prison, he did not reform or become a new person, but committed heinous crimes again.
04. Crazy Demon
In 2003, Todd bought a motorcycle, but because he didn't know how to ride it, he chose to return it in the store.
He brutally killed four people in the motorcycle store at that time because of a dispute with the motorcycle store, including the store manager's 52-year-old mother.
Todd's method of committing the crime was very neat and no clues were left, so the case became a unsolved case at the time.
And in 2015, Todd once again had the idea of murdering people.
At this time, he contacted a couple living in Spartanburg through social media networks, and tricked them into the forest he bought on the grounds of introducing work.
The same method as this time, he first killed the man of the couple, then locked the woman in a container and invaded her, and then killed the woman.
Todd buried the corpses of the two in the forest without knowing it, and no one knew where the couple went.
Count carefully, Todd has already suffered 7 lives.
Why did he become such a demon?
The murdered couple
After Todd was arrested, the police contacted his mother to learn about Todd's life experience.
At this time, Todd's mother just covered her face in despair and sobbed in a low voice: "This is also my responsibility."
As early as Todd was two years old, his parents divorced due to emotional discord. After that, his mother quickly remarried, and little Todd lived with his mother and stepfather.
Todd has been a gloomy since he was a child, and there seems to be no happy moment on his face.
, and the stepfather was irritable, and they had always been in a bad mood, and there were often disputes.
The young Todd has always been a "bad child" in the class in the eyes of the teacher. He will pour detergent into the fish tank and attack the kittens and puppies with a slingshot, and is extremely excited about death and bleeding.
After learning about these situations, my mother tried to discipline Todd, but what she got was Todd's departure.
Todd's mother
However, even though Todd moved to live with his father, he still did not change his past troubles and even became darker.
Once he had an argument with his classmates at school and stabbed him with a knife. Fortunately, the teacher arrived in time, so no casualties occurred.
When he was fifteen years old, Todd, who was stimulated by youth, fell in love with the 14-year-old girl in his neighbor's house.
The little girl did not accept Todd's love, so he raped the girl forcibly and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Todd's mother thought that life in prison would change Todd's heart, but at this time Todd's heart was nurturing a darker idea.
During this period in jail, Todd obtained a degree in computer science and followed his mother to live in South Carolina .
After that, he went to the school to continue studying, obtained two degrees, and also used some cleverness to obtain a license to sell real estate through deception.
After that, Todd started his own company, obtained tens of millions of assets through hard work, and became a local wealthy businessman.
However, no one knows that money and material enjoyment did not make Todd feel happy.
What he longed for most in his heart was the natural stimulation brought to him by crime.
Todd's fame and fortune became the best protective shell for his crime.
Who would have thought that a person with many assets would commit such a crime without regard to the consequences?
Looking back on Todd's life, his crime has a certain relationship with his original family, but it lies in his own reasons.
His mother has always tried to care and accompany him well, but he adopted an extreme mentality and insisted on closing the door projected by love.
It is precisely because of the cruelty that has always existed in my heart that Todd's heart has been twisted, thus leading to the abyss of sin.
How innocent people were hurt and killed by Todd. They could clearly live happily in a beautiful world, but unfortunately became the payers of hatred.
sincerely hopes that Kara can face her future life bravely after experiencing such an unfortunate event.
The darkness of fear will eventually pass, and the tender flowers will eventually embrace the brilliant morning sun the next day.
If you walk firmly, there will be infinite scenery ahead.
