WOODRUFF, S.C. (AP) – A South Carolina man confessed to killing at least seven people in a hidden crime spree that lasted more than a decade and only was uncovered when police rescued a woman locked in a storage container, authorities said Saturday.
Among the crimes Todd Kohlhepp accepted responsibility for an unsolved 13-year-old massacre that stumped authorities, said Sheriff Chuck Wright .
“God is good,” Wright said. The community is no longer wondering who’s responsible for the “four people who were brutally murdered.”
Kohlhepp confessed he was the shooter who killed four people at a motorcycle shop in Spartanburg County in 2003, Wright said.
His confession came one day before the 13th anniversary of the deaths of the owner, service manager, mechanic and bookkeeper of Superbike Motorsports in Chesnee.
