Todd Kohlhepp appeared in court in Spartanburg and was officially charged with four counts of murder. The charges are in connection with a quadruple murder at a Chesnee motorcycle shop 13 years ago Sunday, Nov. 6. Kohlhepp, 45, was also charged last week with keeping anAnderson woman chained in a storage shed for two months on his Spartanburg County property.

Spartanburg County officials have said they also found the body of Brown's boyfriend, Charles Carver, on Kohlhepp's property. Here's what the Anderson Independent Mail and The Greenville News have learned about Kohlhepp:

1980  According to a juvenile probation officer’s report, Kohlhepp was referred to the Behavior Evaluation Center at the Georgia Mental Health Institute because of his mother’s inability to enforce limits and his behavior problems in school. He was about 8- or 9-years-old, according to that court document.

Nov. 25,1986: When he was 15, Kohlhepp used his father’s handgun to force a 14-year-old neighbor to walk to his home, where he placed duct tape on her in his bedroom, tied her hands and then raped her, according to Arizona court documents. Kohlhepp told a probation officer when questioned about the crime that he wasn’t sure why he raped the girl but it could have been an act of rebellion because his father was out of town, according to the records. Kohlhepp said he was upset with the victim because she had a crush on his friends but was only interested in friendship with Kohlhepp

Mental health evaluation on March 27, 1987: According to a psychological evaluation, Kohlhepp described his attitude toward himself as “negative.” He repeatedly asked himself “why do I do things like this?” He saw himself as a “bad person.” He said he "feels badly, because he feels that he can hurt people."

October 1987: Kohlhepp entered prison in Arizona to serve a 15-year sentence for kidnapping in connection with the incident involving his teenage neighbor.

Miller told police that Brown's car, a black Chevy Cobalt, was parked in front of the Anderson apartment complex where Brown lives. Police checked Brown's apartment. Brown's family later said Brown's dog, Romeo, had been left alone in the apartment without food.

September-early October: Strange postings appeared on a Facebook page belonging to Carver. They included messages indicating that Carver and Brown were married and were fine. The families of both Brown and Carver believed the postings were fake because they come after weeks of silence.

Nov. 3: Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office investigators were on Kohlhepp's property near Wofford Road when they heard banging. On the 95-acre property in Woodruff, Brown was found in a metal container, chained by the neck and ankles. She had been kept there for two months. She was taken to a hospital.
