SC Killer Formally Charged for 3 New Murders

For 7 total, after more bodies found buried on his property.

Authorities in South Carolina on Monday formally charged suspected serial killer Todd Kohlhepp with three counts of murder, adding to the four others he’s already facing. The 45-year-old real-estate agent was hit with three warrants for bodies found buried on his property, including a couple that had just given birth to a child. Kohlhepp, who police say killed four other people at a South Carolina motorcycle shop in 2003, was arrested Nov. 3. Police found one of his surviving victims chained up in a storage container on his property before she led them to the shallow grave of her boyfriend, 32-year-old Charlie Carver. The bodies of 25-year-old Meagan Coxie and her husband, 29-year-old Johnny Coxie, were also found on Kohlhepp’s property and included in Monday’s warrants against him. Kohlhepp, a registered sex offender, has confessed to the seven murders.
