WOODRUFF, SC (WSPA) – The Spartanburg Co. Coroner has been called back to the scene in Woodruff where a woman was found chained up in a storage unit Thursday.
The coroner arrived on the property just before 11 a.m.
The Sheriff says the body was found in a shallow grave by dogs. He says they cannot tell if the body is male or female.
The solicitor Barry Barnette says the kidnapping victim told them she saw the suspect, Todd Kohlhepp shoot her boyfriend, Charles Carver.
He says at least one body has been found and he is confident there will be a murder warrant on Kohlhepp.
According to the Spartanburg County Sheriff, around 30 to 40 percent of the property has been searched and they are trying to find out if he owns more property due to the fact that he is a real estate agent.

Two weeks before they were able to get a search warrant for the property the sheriff’s office flew over the property and saw it was extensive and need to get on the ground.

READ CHARLES CARTER’S CAR FOUND ON WOODRUFF PROPERTY
Brown’s boyfriend, Charles David Carver, 32, is still missing.
Investigators say they have found Carver’s car on the property.

Before the page was deleted, cryptic messages were posted and sent from someone operating the site.
Their families believe it was hacked by another person.
“That’s not him saying something like that,” Bobbie Newsom, Kala’s mom said back when the posts began. She believed her daughter is in danger, but hoped for the best. “I love you baby girl. We are worried about you. this is unlike you. If you see this, just call somebody. anybody.”
Anderson Police say they watched the posts, but haven’t directly connected them to their disappearance.
