Todd Kohlhepp - Born a Murderer? #55 - a podcast by SMP

What were the forces driving serial killer and spree killer Todd Kohlhepp to kill so many people over such a long time period, and are there more unknown victims? This week on Solvable Mysteries we examine the disturbing case of Todd Kohlhepp, a South Carolina realtor who became one of the most disturbing cases of a callous psychopath who not only killed several people over the years, but kept the girlfriend of one of his victims as a prisoner on a trailer on his property.

We discuss the strange, troubled and destructive life of Todd Kohlhepp, a convicted serial and spree killer who had a lifelong reputation as a disturbed and angry person capable of acts harming others, and who lived up to that reputation later in his life.  Todd was convicted early in his life of the kidnapping and sexual assault of a neighbor, only to re-offend in a much more serious way, and repeatedly, later in his life costing several people their lives.  We discuss Todd Kohlhepp's troubled childhood, speculate about his ongoing mental state, and review the many crimes he committed against his victims.  We analyze Todd's habit of planned crimes, skill at deception, and organization, and then contrast it with seemingly impulsive or anger-based actions that seemed to undermine both the life he had built for himself, but even his own attempts to conceal his crimes.  We attempt to solve the mysteries of Todd Kohlhepp, and look forward to your feedback on our episode.
