Serial Killer Todd Kohlhepp Full Length Police Interrogation
Todd Kohlhepp's full-length police interrogation provides chilling insight into the mind of a serial killer. Kohlhepp, a South Carolina real estate agent, was arrested in 2016 after police discovered a missing woman, Kala Brown, chained in a shipping container on his property. This discovery led to a confession linking Kohlhepp to multiple murders and a string of violent crimes. Here’s an overview of his interrogation and key details from the case:Key Details from Todd Kohlhepp’s Interrogation1. Discovery and Arrest

  • Police arrested Kohlhepp after Kala Brown, missing since August 2016, was rescued from a locked shipping container on his rural property in Woodruff, South Carolina.
  • Brown informed investigators that Kohlhepp had murdered her boyfriend, Charlie Carver, and held her captive.
  • During the interrogation, Kohlhepp displayed a disturbing lack of remorse, calmly discussing his crimes as if they were ordinary events.
  • His casual attitude about the murders shocked investigators, particularly given the brutal details he revealed.
  • Kohlhepp confessed to the 2003 Superbike Motorsports quadruple homicide, a cold case that had baffled authorities for over a decade.
  • He explained that he had been humiliated by the shop’s employees when trying to return a motorcycle, prompting him to return with a gun and kill four people.
  • Victims: Scott Ponder, Brian Lucas, Chris Sherbert, and Beverly Guy.
  • In addition to the Superbike killings, Kohlhepp admitted to murdering Meagan and Johnny Coxie, a couple he hired for odd jobs. He claimed they “disrespected” him and killed them on his property.
  • Both were shot, and their bodies were buried on his land.
  • Kohlhepp provided graphic details about his crimes, including how he lured victims to his property, killed them, and disposed of their bodies.
  • He spoke matter-of-factly about his methods, often blaming the victims for their deaths, claiming they “pushed him too far.”
  • Kohlhepp showed no empathy for his victims or their families during the interrogation.
  • He expressed concern only for how the media would portray him, saying he didn’t want to be compared to other serial killers.
  • Investigators noted parallels between Kohlhepp’s adult crimes and his violent past. As a teenager, he was convicted of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Arizona, for which he served 15 years in prison.
  • Despite his criminal record, Kohlhepp managed to build a successful real estate business, hiding his dark side from those around him.
  • Kohlhepp was charged with seven counts of murder, along with kidnapping and weapons charges.
  • In 2017, he pleaded guilty to all charges to avoid the death penalty and was sentenced to seven consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.
  • The case garnered national attention, with the shipping container discovery and Kohlhepp’s confessions horrifying the public.
  • His ability to lead a double life as a respected businessman while committing heinous crimes raised questions about how he avoided suspicion for so long.

Transcript

Father had six brothers and a sister, but as far as he was an only child, My mom's family. She's got. A big family had a real close cousin and in the beginning of the year someone gave her some drugs that they shouldn't have and she had some heart condition and she went to sleep and they were low financial means and she went to sleep.

With her daughter. The bed and passed in her sleep and her daughter woke up and found her and that's something her daughter's going to live with with for the rest rest of her life. And you know, so I mean, I the drug dealer, the drug thing, it just, you know. It it digs in and yell out, yeah, I've seen too many people go down that path. I don't like the junkies, but I can understand the junkies, the dealer, the dealer's only there for one thing. The that that's the problem that

I have. I would have been OK if you guys would, just like I would never have pulled a wet on you guys. And the force she does to shoot me isn't cool either, because you got to live with that. I have a good friend that works here that still lives with that today. You will second guess yourself constantly. Well, he he did because he found out the gun was uploaded, but he had no way of knowing. And for me to take myself, it's

not hard. I mean, you slam and throw it on a on a vest somewhere and crush the lyrics. You don't die of shitty death, but you can do it. But you hurt the people. If I did any of that, and I won't, it would probably 'cause my mother to have a heart attack and die. Let's not do that. Let me go back to what you said, though. What do you want? You, you said, you said you. You go ahead, Go ahead. The absurdity of that is that if you if you did, but you can't, but if you did, where am I now?

Right now around here, you're probably the most recognizable person. I mean, I think it's me when you put my face on some billboards. They're like, hey, no, my face higher up, we need more business or inside can I? Have another people ask me about. Can you hook me up with Rose? I'll show you how to turn. We turn that bottom bed into a top bed real quick. Oh hell, we'll go get right on that. Which part do you want to be in Sir? You want a three bed or A2? They're just looking.

At oh, oh, the the guards, I'm on top of the guards and and one inmate who just was like, I I heard about you. I'm like, OK, you're the real estate guy was until about 20 minutes ago. I went to my license. What but real nice guy, but the I've just been out. Just I'm going to let them know what the hell they feed them boys with with saw or they put like they put like steroids in the in. The. Biggest corn fed Damn people. And as a matter of fact there.

Was a you seen it, You mentioned Russell Lynch's website earlier. You saw on Facebook, we had an officer get in trouble for that a year or so ago. Then he was let go. OK, I. Wouldn't want to be unserious. But yeah, we did. So they test them for that. They they work out, they have to work. I mean, they go through PT like our SWAT guys. Yeah, they go through PT like crazy and they lift weights and they have to go through PT like crazy. Oh, I'm, I'm impressed. I'm not bad.

I was like, they're all tall as hell. Oh, I. Know I'm like that's the one. Thing I wish I had was like, like my, my 15 year old. He's already taller than me. I'm 59 and the happiest 511. I'm like really dude? He he looked at me. I'm like, listen here little man. Really. He goes, he goes, he'll call me. He goes Boo, Boo. I said listen here. Boo. Boo. And finally, because he knows he's from kids, he's got a old soul, but he knows the difference between joking around

bad. And. Even if I'm used to that, just that changing the tone, it's a serious dad, you know? And once that tone changes, you know he knows. You know I'm stopped. Yeah. And he knows that, you know. That dad will straighten him out, but dad will also. It's like the biggest dragon. See, my dad never would do that, really. My dad was the dragon.

Really. My dad took me to office parks while he would steal half the shake his hands on and they want me to help him load truck and deal with his nonsense and then would tell me that if I got into a fight if I didn't win. You're not my son. Don't come home. But then if I get into a fight I want the kids ass. I went too far. I'm getting my ass because I went too far. Do I go win? My son got in trouble while back for helping defend a kid on the bus one time. Little bitty got hit the same

age with this. Like I said, my son's real tall and it's kind of cute. The they have for some reason, I don't know why they do it. They have the, they have the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th graders from different schools all riding on the same bus. And he's back there and he's got his headphones on and. Some of the older. Kids are messing with him and the other little guy. And like I said, he's, he's short, he's a little guy. Looks like he belonged in like the 5th grade or something.

He's so little and these older kids are picking on bullying. And my son's sitting there and he looks over. He says now just leave him alone. Just just leave him alone, dude. And my son got into got attacked by our family dog who was a bulldog, a bullmastiff mix and it was an accident. My wife would give him deservers little pop on the cheek and he didn't like it.

And he? Would feel like this and snap and he. My son was home sick one day and he thought he was going to do it so he jumped up on the bed. Excuse me? The dog thought he was going to do it. The dog turned like that and when he did he caught him right here with the Fang and ripped his whole lip off. Oh jeez. So they have it stitched on. So my son's claim to fame is if I can take on a Pitbull and whim, what do you think I'm going to do to you? So here the guy, the kid.

He said just just leave. Me alone man, just leave me alone. The kid goes leans up across there and he goes, how about I make you my and he goes, everybody goes, you better leave him alone. His dad's a cop and he goes. The guy goes I don't care if his dad's a cop and he leans across there he goes, how about I just make you my little bitch, my son wind up to him. He says how about you sit back down before you get your ass kicked? In front of everybody.

Here. He just looked at him like that. He's like, and I taught my son at that point in a situation, don't say anything else because the next person that speaks loses. You lose all credibility. If you talk. They teach you that in sales, you're at that closing point, don't talk. That's action time. You know, at that point, if that kid makes a move, you're in fear for your safety. You have the right to defend yourself. He ended up getting put off the bus.

So I go down to the school. We had a word of prayer with the principal and he was back on the bus. You know, I said. He's, he's defending, you know, a smaller kid that's being bullied. He doesn't, you know? That's what he's supposed to do, you know? You, you protect the weak, you know? I want to. Ask. You. To answer your questions. Want. To be the mom. The mom say again, what do you mean? The bike shop Because the mom. Well. Again, what do you want to have to happen? I don't know.

Because you made this comment to me and sorry to interrupt, but you made this comment to me and I believe you. You didn't do right and I believe you and I talked to the solicitor about that and and I told him what you told me he said. I said he's, he's made the comment and the solicitor, he'll plead to everything, but he's not pleading the rape because he didn't do it right. I said. He told me that he's admitted to

everything he's done. He's willing to take the responsibility for it, but he will not take responsibility as to the kidnapping, I said, but he will not take responsibility for the rape because he did not rape her that sometime they had sex. It was consensual. She had the choice and she actually initiated it at times. And he said, OK, I said, so we're going to need to reinterview her and we're setting that up. We're going to do that this week.

And I told him, I said I, I gave him my word that we would reinterviewed him. And I want or we want to reinterview her, you know, because, yeah, I think it needs to be done. And so I can't guarantee where that's going to go, but I don't see it, you know? But let's, let's ask you this. I got one. One thing I do like to ask you before I go further, the FBI has. Requested. To talk to you, I don't know if it's about the guns. It's it's got, it's got to be about the guns because that's

the only issue they would have. If at some point they want to come talk to you, would you mind? Talking to them. Oh my. OK, I'll let them know. The other thing is could. I get to ride in. Their their cop. Car and put lights on probably I'm arranging I can arrange a sheriff pick up your mom and bring her over here. You know, and he and he, he's just go ahead. If it's FBI, don't think they're going to be interested in the guns. They're not going to like the

answer. Again, it's not going to be that. I was expecting ATF. I'm expecting Homeland Security. They were out there, you know that. Yeah, they were out there. Not today we were out there. The first day. Cuz they AM. When they found all that day, yeah. Not terrorists. I would never do anything against the interests of the United States. I love my country. I like what we do a lot of times. I. Love my country. They can ask all they want. You will not find racial

material on my stuff. I refer to with my friend called my Arian. He's a black guy. I don't do the white pride power crap. No, they're going to ask about the weapons because they're so extreme. I just had expensive taste and I like quality and I actually know how to operate every single one of them, but they're not going to get the spectacular stories they want. With that being said, they're apparently I did not know this. I knew that the guy had came and

revoked your broken glasses. Apparently an attorney came to see you. Who? Who is he? I've got his card. He basically with the intern part. Well, which let me get back up. There's the there's 22 attorneys. Can we see you? There was the attorney who actually showed up to give me my letter telling me you're no longer a realtor. He's out. Then there was an attorney that showed up from the Columbia for. Shane something, yes. OK, Columbia for what? He they well.

First they tried to give me a public offender, but I make too much money. OK. Even though almost everything I've got is not liquid right and. You actually own property in Spartanburg County, so you don't qualify the. Thing is, except for a couple of things, I don't see a need to buy an attorney. Dude, I just gave you 77 bodies. Well, see, that's the thing I'm getting at.

He's shown up back at the jail again today wanting while we've been here wanting to talk to you and but he talked to my Lieutenant and didn't know if you wanted to talk to him. Sure, he. Gave him. Light. Do you want to talk to him after we do this or after you? After, I mean, I'm not sorry, after you come see me tomorrow or do you want to talk to him beforehand? It's up to you. I mean, it's whichever you want to do. I don't. Care, I mean.

I'm going to I'm. Going to use them to where they go to the preliminary stuff. The only the only problem I have with any of this is I'm not going to set Kayla's break. That's not going to that's I'll fight all the way. We'll we'll go jury. I won't win, but I'll make it extremely extremely costly. Why?

I think once you reinterview her, I think you know you now that you've got her own letters and all that, I think you'll be OK. Go through the go through the bag, go through the stuff that was in, go through the stuff that was in the Conex. In her area. And. Upstairs there's a dresser drawer, is there not one of the Somebody said they found them stuff in a dresser. Drawer, yes, Sir. There there's multiples. There is a different laundry Connell. So I think it's been one for her

differently. The two bottom drawers. The two bottom drawers are the white thing that has marrow on top. Both of those are her drawers. Both drawers underneath the TV are both are her drawers. I'll write this down because I'll forget. It both bottom. Drawers are the white chest where the things called dresser. Both of those are hers. With the mirror. With the mirror and both of those that are underneath the TV, there's one side by side. Both of those have her stuff in it.

OK. She had me get her vibrator, the TV, the the DVD player, the MP3 player, the coloring books. Coloring books. Adult coloring books. OK. Dude I didn't question, I just it got her to shut up and got her to roll over. That led me to something else you said The Satanic book. Yeah, what the hell, man? I've never let me ask you this. The mattress is up against the wall and we did that looking to see if there were any letters in there.

It was a bag. Yeah. Did you ever spend the night there with her in the bed? Like stay the night. You and her in the bed. Overnight. Never stay the night. OK. We spent a lot of time on the bed. She wanted the the, the, the the comforter thing that was on the floor. That was her idea. That was her submissive Kitty bed, her kitten bed. Man enter it in all of a sudden I put the collar thing on her. And they found me out. They were like what they thought it was for a dog, you know?

Well, now the cage that was up. There, that's in pieces. That I built and it was originally meant for my dogs. No, I'm talking about the the collar, the the metal collar thing you told me about. That I ordered off of when the websites delivered and I got it because she won't. She requested that as opposed to me putting the chain around and I got that in one that would have fucked. Me. Up man I I went that ain't going

on nobody. So it's never been used, but she wanted that and then the the the key bed and she went this whole thing of explained to me that I had to give her permission to speak to me give her permission to look at me. Dude, I'll do all that control shit. You know, I'm like. Just. What's going on? I don't need all that ass an Ashley Ashley's never had to deal with any of that crap, but you know, but. You. Get the point? I mean, I was embarrassed because she actually keep friends.

She she keeps, she buys a little damn operators and then she starts from my side of the damn bed. I was like, you know, I don't want anything on my side of the bed. She's like, why? Because if I ever get in trouble, I'm karma. I wasn't thinking that shit for me. Well, we did. Open the doors and we were open the doors. And we were. Like oh shit, I was like OK in the house and we're at the house. I ain't never. But yeah, we had all that. And then, yeah, it was just she,

she, she, she had all the stuff. She kept asking for this kind of stuff. I got it and she wanted, it's a big black book about that deep, like $23, that damn book. And it's the enchanted sorcerer sorcery, some of the shit. It's the how to guide to be a witch. Dude. I just figured she'd read the damn book and shut the fuck up for a while. I. Don't understand that. I mean, tell me about basically how she wanted to go off Dustin because she she thinks Dustin was involved in it.

Dustin wasn't involved in it. The only Dustin's part of of anything was that he was a dumb kid that I paid cash when he was broke to go to the store and get. When you say dumb you think he had a mental issue or just he was just didn't. Maybe he's just an idiot young kid. He's an idiot young kid. He's not retarded. He's he's smart. He's lazy. I started getting jobs for years, started getting into real estate. We didn't read the damn book. Real estate is hard.

You don't want shit in class. You went on the street. But. You got to do the class 1st, which falls into our early conversation. But he's just a dumb kid who basically he he didn't even know who his daddy is. His mom doesn't know who his daddy is. Yeah, she's a little wild. When she was young. He, he basically, I met him one night at Barnes and Noble 15 years ago in line in terms of how he wanted to be SWAT. He wanted pistols and forces.

I don't know the disrespect that you ain't got a chance in hell. I can live in your eyes and tell you you got none of that in you. Accept. It find a good. Career and go, go leave your life. There's people who need to be that way and people who don't need to be that way. The world's big. You need both got talked to him. I got him out of a lot of trouble 'cause he just, he never had any. It was me and another guy who died. He actually had a you may have known Cody.

He's sort of the manager of at Wild Wings. He had diabetes. We didn't know he just died back or like that. And he mashed his foot down and he drove his car on 290 into a telephone pole and he died. I I heard about this. I did hear about this. Yeah. We'll skip. We'll. Tiny guy I I heard about I. Heard about the rat I heard about. Being in the rat, he didn't know anything about him, but I heard about the rat. He had a telephone pole. He had, he had a diabetic, whatever it was, insulin,

whatever. When the shot did that matched the gas to the floorboard, he he only drove 55. Or diabetic seizure. I'm sorry, he only drove. 55 on 85 going anywhere with him used to drive me bat shit. I'm like come on it's one of the God fun pedal I would pull beside the road. Wait, he tried, he tried me batshit 'cause I mean, I'm 85 miles an hour in in school zone and he hit, he, he went to shock, mashed to the floor, hit a telephone pole through the windshield and hit a car.

I mean hit, hit a house. To this day, I don't know what house. I never asked Dustin which one it was, but me and Cody were the only two that kind of got him out of his early funk. And then he didn't know that was illegal. And then at 1st and then I paid him. And then after I had paid him, he I kept his car working. He needed the money. So Cody had no idea that buying you the guns was? Cody wasn't even alive without him. Cody was. I'm not Cody Dustin.

Dustin had no idea buying you the guns was illegal. At first. OK. He did later, but by the time he realized it, he'd already done enough times that. It didn't matter. I was like fuck. I mean, dude, there's like 10 or 12 suppressors in there and I don't know how many. 40 guns, 50 guns. I mean, it's kind of like Pokémon. God, I have them all. Yeah. And then I would take them and I

would tweak them. Sig NPX became an SBR, the PTR became an SBR, the 516 became an SPR, anything that was rifle wise even got refined and polished and upgraded to for distance and everything short got upgraded for dependability and fire control. Well, let me ask you this real quick. So we're going to head to head back over this attorney contacted my Lieutenant, OK. But my Lieutenant told me to let you know because we promised this attorney that we would let you know.

Do you want this attorney to contact you? Do you want to contact this attorney? He. Can contact me? He can contact you, come to the jail and see you. Do you want to come back and see me tomorrow first, or do you want to talk to him? Or do you want us to give him a time to come see you or whatever? Whatever you want to do, whatever is convenient. Yeah, I wouldn't mind talking to. Him OK. It's whatever your schedules

are. I mean, I know you need to talk to me. Tomorrow so I. Mean the ball's in your court because you're the one if you want. Me to talk to him first, make it easy and then come see me. It's no, I mean, it's it's it's whatever you want, OK. If you want to talk to me first tomorrow, that's your choice. If you want to talk to him first tomorrow, that's your choice. Let. Me. Talk to him first. I don't know what he's going to say, but I'll talk to him first

anyhow. It's not going to make any difference. To answer your question earlier, I don't know what I want. The fact is, it'd be nice to just be over. With but I. Don't want to spend my life in a box, but I don't have a choice. But if I go to death row, it's going to absolutely, it's going to kill people, it's absolutely going to crush them. If I got to just bite the bullet and rot it out, I'll rot it out. What else do you? Do now? You said you have this attorney's card, right?

I do, but I'm not allowed to make any phone calls. OK. So OK, we were planning on coming and getting you tomorrow mid morning, OK, but and doing getting all this squared away tomorrow, mid morning, afternoon, sometime like that. So it's your choice. Do you want to talk to him before we do, Before I come and get you to talk to you? Or. How do you want to do that? If he can get up, get up here in

the morning, that's fine. That way we got more time to deal with this and all this stuff because I got to write those checks and you got to get checked, folks. What time do you want me to tell him to come see you? Anytime the morning work OK my my schedule is is valuable. OK, so so you're telling me and I have to do this for legal reasons. I know. So you're telling me after you talk to him, you want me to come get you so you can come back over here? Yes. And talk to me. Yes, Sir. OK.

It just gets him out of the way. He's going to tell me the same man come in last time. What did he tell you? I mean, you don't have to tell me, but I'm really I'm. Like really, is this coming? What the hell is difference? You can't tell me. Anything. I mean, the fact is, I mean first they tell me the. The the the. The what do you call it? The they can't give me a public offender because I have too

much, too much assets. But then they tell me, but I'm not such a high priority case that all of a sudden we might be able to bypass some of this, which is legalese for I want my name on that case somehow, somehow, because that would give me some notoriety. Hell, I imagine somebody in prison town would do it for free to get the game on the case at this point after today. Yeah, I I wouldn't be surprised.

Preliminary hearing their chance, their chance to stand up and me say absolutely nothing and go through procedure. Dude, I wrote up. I wrote out a confession. What? What the heck are you going to get on preliminary? Oh we'll get that charge toss out bro. I've got like 8 more coming. But but I mean, in retrospect, really the only one you're you're issues with is the right, Yeah. Being honest here, I gave you the four. I couldn't shut the hell up. Yeah, yeah, it's.

And that's probably the one I'm going to fry on. I'm going to believe that damn thing. What? Suck. You're like a sausage. Smell my meat, bitches. That's right. Inhale. Because my last thing is I'm inside of all of you. You guys always laugh man. Yeah, you do. I mean, you do. You got to go out your own way. I don't know if I'm going to do the digs, digs out for Grammy or I'm going to do the can I, he's a wife walk.

But I mean, you know, at that point, I mean, the one I'm probably going to get nailed on is the bike shop. What's his name? Carver Charlie. Charlie's not. Sane. They want to make him. Out to be a sane right now they do, but Kayla's dangerous. Kayla has before asked me to beat up people for her or use my resources, which she thinks my resources are. Go get someone killed. Really. Yeah, with people that she doesn't like. A you have a Have you do or have you hired somebody to do it? Yes.

Both, yes. OK. I can't read my Facebook and maybe on there. Really. Yes. How long ago is this? You'll have. Well I blocked her after all this shit so they wouldn't know because I mean literally. We have her Facebook page. Then you have it. OK. It'll take you for every damn day to go through it. OK, but. Go back to the messages. Really. In her phone messages, she supposedly had money in her car and the guy took her money, but

that's bullshit. And then she wanted me to either use my resources to either have him killed or beat up. I believe he was beat up, but she wanted me to use my resources to have him have him off or go do it. Kayla uses that thing between her legs to get dumb asses to go do stupid shit, and that's what I'm trying to say, that she's going to use that to get Dustin hurt. OK, what was this attorney's name? Do you remember? Let me, let me.

Immediately take my picture. No, no, I'm, I'm calling my boss. Hey, what is this attorney's name? Steve Gorsham, OK, he says he has his business card. He has no way to contact him, though he does want to talk to him. Not for anything, just to help him with the pulmonary stuff. Like he goes. OK, I got you. There's another call. OK, out of Greenville. OK, OK, well, I'll explain this to him. So this guy that showed up last Friday, is it indigent defense?

Because he he did mention something to me about the guy saying he wouldn't qualify for a public defender because he owned property. OK, yes, but they're not going to like what he has to say and he's they're not going to, he's not going to talk to him very much. I. OK. All. Right, we're fixing to transport it back over. Then we got down. Yeah, he can. He can come see him tomorrow morning and then he told me that he still wants me to come pick him up tomorrow afternoon and come back over.

And talk to me. OK, Yeah. All right. He's going to call the attorney. He's an indigent. What's the point? Well, and if you want me. To call him back and tell him. Not to. I will. There's also an attorney from Greenville that left his card at the front desk of the jail for you. He is, I don't know who he is, it's on a legal pad. And he left his card for you at the jail. But this attorney from Columbia, he is not a public defender, but he's an indigent attorney. OK, but he.

Represents indigent people and I think that's why he made that comment to you. You made a comment to me that he said you didn't. Qualify. For a public defender. But there's a way he's around that or something. There are, but here's the point. Why? I mean, I'll speak to him, but here's the thing, Todd, you ain't going to talk to nobody. You don't want to. Yeah, you know, I mean, if you want me to. I mean, I don't mind talking to him, but I mean I don't get him talking to you guys.

I I I mean I. But I don't get OK, I gave you 4, I gave you 4 bodies, I gave you 4. I can't remake. That's done. I understand that you kept your promise. I kept my promise. You can't renege. It's already been done. Understand. I showed you where two other bodies are. Didn't have to mention if I hadn't said nothing, because what's on top of them? You guys, your dogs just ain't on board. Even if I didn't, I still got a kidnapping charge that ain't going nowhere.

I still got a a murderer in the back pasture that's not going anywhere. And Ozzy was on 1/2 off sale. But. The. What half off sale? Believe me, buy 1 foot, get it on, foot off. What am? I saying. Hello again, Todd. You don't have to talk to anybody. I don't have to. I don't talk to you either. But but. Yeah, OK. If you. Want he's not sure he wants, he's not sure he wants to talk to me. He said if he's an engine at large, he said there's no reason

for him to talk to him. He, I mean, that's the thing. If he he I think about the business card being left by the other attorney from Gringle and he said he has no problem talking to him and, and but he said as far as this engine that an attorney does and he says there is no reason for him, he said because he's not imaging. Do you want my? Lieutenant to call him back and tell him. No. Or do. You want me to tell him you'll talk to him?

Just just have him leave his card and I'll OK, he said. He, he, he. He this is the guy, you already have his card. OK. This is the guy that came to see you Friday. Haven't just come to see you later, haven't come to me afterwards. What day would you like him to come see you? I don't care. Tomorrow, late, tomorrow, Tuesday, I don't care. I'm not going anywhere. I'll do that. I'll do that. OK, OK, whatever.

This is what he's going to do. He's going to text me the attorney's contact information so that you can call him. I'm going to let the attorney know that I'm in here with you and you can tell him if you want to talk to him or when you want to talk to him. You know what I'm saying? So that way you know you're. Protected.

Your, your rights are protected. And if you want to see him after you talk to me, if you want to see him down the road, whatever you want to do, you know, because the thing about it is, like you said, they're cops in a little bit are bad. They're cops in a little bit are good. I should. Not like you I. Should want to know you to the cross, you know, but I'm. Going there anywhere? Well. Let's not that. But yeah, I get it.

I want to do the right. Thing for you, I want to make sure the right thing is done for you and by you. I don't do this job just to put people in jail and do stuff like that. I do this job because that's the way I want to be at. The end of the day, like I said, they have two choices. There's two choices here. There's three. I'm not going home. There's two choices. OK.

Now I'm going to let him know that I'm in here and that and you can tell me when you want to see him, whatever you want, you know. Hi, Shane. Hi, Shane. My name is Tom Clark. I'm an investigator with the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office. Yeah, Lieutenant William Gary gave me your information. Yeah. What's your last name? Shane. Gorenson, Gor. OK, G ORANSON. OK, I'm sitting here with Mr. Colvett. Yeah. You left your card with him?

Yeah, OK. And you apparently while we were talking to him today, you came back to see him? Yes, I came by today, Yeah. OK. And you were wanting to talk to him again. Correct. Yes, OK. He's. Going to talk to you, right? Now and let you know what his decision is about. Whether or not he wants to talk to. You or when he wants to talk to you. OK and I'm I'm still in the room, so I just want to make sure you need that OK, because we're in an interview room all. Right. Speakerphone, yes.

Sir, he's right here. Yes, Sir, I understand. You want to speak to me? Are you the gentleman I spoke to the other day? Yeah. OK, OK. You want to come see me tomorrow or Tuesday or what? Whatever. Whatever. Spartanburg right now. Yes, Sir. But if? We need to do it another day. We can do it another day. I have the power of attorney form for you. OK. Yeah, I need that. And you know, Yes, Sir, I would just, I would prefer to at least get back to you tonight. So.

You can get that. Done. But. You know, whatever you want. To do it's fine. I'm just telling you I'm here. For you, I'm here to help you. And I appreciate that for my help and I appreciate that I don't know what time it is, but how long are you going to be there? In Spartanburg. Yes, Sir. How long on your clock, buddy? I'm here for you. How long is this going to take? Perfection. Leave. Yeah. I can see you in, in, in when? When they get me back over that. That's fine. OK.

Thank you. OK. Thank you. See you soon. I'm sorry. Now I want to let you know this. If you sign papers with him and he becomes your attorney, OK? OK. In any capacity, before you can talk to me again, you have to send a letter through the kiosk at the jail before you can talk to me anymore. If he becomes your attorney on record for this, OK? I'm just making you aware of that. I can't just come over and get you like we we talked about.

If he becomes your attorney, he becomes your attorney on record for this situation, then you will have to request me, OK, through that they have that kiosk that you need. You have to. They have. Want me anywhere near it? Well, you that you tell them you can tell them. I want to request to talk to detective. Clark through the kiosk. And they will let you do that if you hire him as or if you I. Wasn't planning to hire him, I thought. I'm taking my taking my piece of paper.

And you can explain that to him. That's your right. You, you know, and that's why you know, you know, we're recorded here and you know all that. Other than the fact of notoriety for them because it's not for me. What? Why do I? Why is everybody suddenly from first your lady came down at the at the Holden cell and then informed me that you got property, you can't have anything. But then why are you even here?

Well, what she's a public defender and they do that for for general sessions charges most times, a lot of times in in, in court, OK. And it may have just been because they found out what the charges were. Well, that was just the kidnapping. Right. That got escalated. Yeah, so. Based the public. Defenders off center over. OK, OK, so that's what that was. And, and a lot of times there'll be a public defender show up to

talk to people. As far as him, I don't know who he is. I've never heard of him before. He's part of another group in Columbia that deals with, once again, indigent. But it is. They may be able to weigh certain things. Whenever you want to weigh something, there's a reason you're not doing it, 'cause you like me, you're waving it for a reason. I don't understand the purpose. When he's with the plenary thing, you know we get to go over policy. Over.

Like policy, procedure. I can't even speak at it. They said the attorney can speak. I get to stand there and look stupid for a while. You talking about your preliminary hearing? Yes, Sir. And they basically go over procedures of what, you know, the officers should have done. They should have done. At no time is it going to throw. There's not going to be some TV, TV show of all the way. Mess up your seat. We got to throw all this shit out. The bodies don't count.

Well, this is the thing. At the end of the day, you can do the power of returning with or without an attorney. Yeah, I'm going to get the document get. Get my document. You know you can, you can, you can have him be your attorney. You cannot have him be your attorney that that is completely up to you. Well. Right now I don't even know him, but what I what I want is the document.

That's all I want. Well, I just I just want to make sure that you understand that I made you a promise at the beginning that I was always going to be honest with you yes and I was always going to be upfront with you we're. Fine. And so that's why I, I did that, you know, and I told you about the other attorney that left his business card. And like you said earlier, you, I have a friend who's an attorney and, and they're like that sometimes, you know, I, I don't know, you know, I think

you may be right. And for today, it's like I I know a gentleman that's in Arizona. His birth name is Jesse James. The attorney was willing to take his case. Go ahead with a dumb ass, just call his name 'cause his name. So he could. Put it on his advertisement. I got Jesse James off and he didn't. But it's not a. Backfire on him, huh? But I mean, I don't get the point. I mean, and OK, I get the bike

shop thing. Yes, you you people want to have the name involved because it's a national case now. Now all of a sudden you have a realtor who was a couple days ago worth a shit load of money who suddenly went out and all of a sudden you're finding bodies and bodies and bodies. A girl who gets caught in a, in a, in a, in a conex. When you all find out the real truth about that part, that's going to be interesting. About.

Kayla, Kayla. Yeah. Yeah. I think, I think you're going to find the the you're going to find some different things there. It's just the, the well, biggest thing right now is I want, you know, him and I are both of the same line and as the sheriff are, you know, and as the sheriff told you when he prayed with you, we do everything above board. We have a saying we do it the right way. And so that's why I wanted to make that clear. I did too.

He said get a gun. Shit, did you just move right into that? Wait a minute, wait a minute. He. Told me it's just fault. It's just fault. Oh, and I do know why the FBI wants to talk to you. Yes, Sir, they don't care. About the I don't. It's my understanding they don't care about the guns. Really. No. What do they want? They don't learn from you. You remember? Do you remember the other day when we were sitting? There no, Sir. You remember. When? We were sitting there talking

about Serial, the Serial stuff. Oh shit man, that's that shit's real. Well. Let's hear about them. Want to bring them here? They, that's my understanding. They want to learn from you. And I'm, I'm going to tell you this and, and this is no joke. You're a very interesting person. You are a very intelligent person and your philosophies OK. Or unusual. They're not, though. They're not. They are for this side of the fence. Well, they're not unusual, but

they're extreme. Does that make sense to you? Yes, Sir. OK, So I, I, I I think they're interested in that. OK. And and then they really want. It's my understanding they won't learn from you. I don't mind talking to them. Believe it or not, after speaking to the two of you, I'm kind of hoping that they don't give me death sentence, just they don't give me a lot of licenses. Who's? Going to be on it. I'll try to work them out, you know?

If you spend a lot of the. Time, a lot of time, you know, like I said, my mom was like, she got upset when I when I mentioned that she got very upset actually. Mentioned what? The the journey actually markups earlier too. Yeah, don't do that. Don't do that. Well, no, don't do that because I don't like, you know, man, I told you about my friend. And yeah, and the reason why I don't is it it it would, it would, it would totally mess with so many people.

But my biggest thing at this point is not hurting anybody else. It's closing when I can and helping who I can. And if I can help the FBI and do their thing, I don't mind. Hell, it might be kind of fun. Maybe the trip to Quantico? Oh, don't tease me. Godfather they took. I actually didn't have. I don't really watch this. Movie. Yeah, they took. I don't watch TV at all. But I can't. Remember. But I called that right Glen in AI had it. Too I, I I what's? The.

Regular guy's name Abraham. Abe had to. I had a. But I didn't have Glenn when he hate Glenn. I almost died. I was like, Oh my gosh, but do you? Know why a excuse the language but he I fucked him. Yeah, absolutely. He bowed up. Yeah. Oh yeah. And looked at him like. Yeah. He had to keep control. Yeah, he had to. There was no way. That man. Show the dominance. There was no way he was coming out of that, I tell you what. I've lost a lot of respect.

For in that show because my my. Preacher at church said I don't like Rick. My my preacher at church said you should take things that your spouse is interested in, even if you're not. You should try. Them and enjoy them with them to to kind of be part of the things that they like. So I I never watched they're. So bad they're. My friend, what's the question? But the the The funny thing last night started watching this show and I didn't think I would ever like this show.

And I actually. Like this show and the one person that I think is an absolute plus, he is Rick. I don't like Rick. I'm like. Are you kidding? 1. Minute he's killing people and then the next minute when he's losing, let's. Talk. Let's talk. Wait. A minute. You're. Killing people and then you want. To talk. I had my friends tell me that I didn't like him because he was a cop. I'm like, you don't really know me that well. You don't, but that's what you did.

Time. I've never blamed the cops for me being in there. I blamed me for being in. There I. Blame my dad for assisting it, but I blamed me. I didn't blame cops for that. Ron Ron chapter on that one. But the man cannot make good decisions. He engages when he shouldn't. He doesn't engage when he should. He's a piss poor leader. I mean. Who's your favorite? I like, I like Abe. I don't like how I like Abe where the guy got got to say yeah, he just. Wanted Daryl.

Daryl. Daryl is cool, he just needs to shave and clean up. I just like that, you know, he just he, you know, he's. Always going to be a follower. He's. Always going to be a. Follower, but he's somebody that's trustworthy. He's going to do his job. Now, I'm never going to find out how this turns out. Now they're going to wait till they're all in the end and then Rick's going to wake up from the dream and it's all just been pretty I. Said that I told my wife that the other day.

I said, You know what's funny? I said she didn't know. What I was talking about, I said, Did you remember the old Bob, The New Hope? Show. Yeah, I hate to admit that I actually know. OK, the Bob New Hope show the. First one he did. Bob Newhart The Bob Newhart Show, The first one he did with where he was married to the Dark Lady then. He. That show ended and then he had the show with the lady in the in the hotel, and at the end of that show he was waking up in the middle of the night.

Back in the first show, he woke up having a dream and his wife goes from the first show. He's back in the whole set of the first show and his wife goes, honey, what happened? Oh, it was just a dream. And that's how he they ended the second. Bob Newhart Show Well, it's like the guy from Breaking Bad Crock, Brian whatever thing was the

the. Branson. Bryan. Granson, he's in Breaking Bad, but he was also in that one show where he was the dad of that that school kid, Malcolm, and knocking in the Middle. Yeah. What if that was witness protection program? I'm not lie down. I'm going to give you the Quantico but. No, but they that's my understanding. They want to talk to you more, possibly to interview you, to learn from me. OK. And if you're willing to do that, we'll let them know. Sure. OK.

All right. Now, again with the attorney, whatever you decide to do is your right, your choice, a standby or whatever you decide to do, I'm. Just want my paper is all I want right now for them. What I will do, I'm sorry, I'm not signing. Anything with him that I just want my paper? OK. With that being said, I will check in the morning. So you're not going to sign anything with him and hire him as an attorney tonight? That's correct, Sir. So you still want me to come get

I imagine the FBI knows more about firearms than I do. Oh well, you know, you know, you're right there. It's all about the thumbs. They're walking. You got to get some thumbs, right? All right, You know what? You. Know what we got to do? That's true, Dawsey. You want to turn it the other way?

You're scared to know there's a pen for you. What I put, I'm sorry, what's the Beretta? FS. I'm sorry, could just initial that there they. Don't say 2927 S.

something I'll see too. I've got or if you want something called the drink, Sir. Yes, I did want to shoot other customers. I'm sorry. You want just initial that you're like me, you talk really fast so. You ask me when I'm making a deal, Sir, You ask me when I'm making a deal. I was in sales one side or another. OK. I'm trying to get that case for any of them carrying a gun. I don't know. I don't know.

I read the. Report there was money they that the guy had like 10 grand in cash and a gun in the in the office but I would have taken it. I was wondering if they. I think this religion is going to roll over by tomorrow. There you. Go. So this is the last. One, I'm sorry. And when we get done, I do have some clarifying additional clarifying things I need to ask you. OK. I want to leave that part open for real quick because I need to ask you a couple clarifying questions.

You said you, you, you mentioned in here exactly where you shot her and then you said you shot and where you shot the mechanic when you shot him. The other two gentlemen, as they were running, you mentioned you shot one of them in the back. Do you know as the other one was running where you shot him, where he was hit? No. Sir. OK. Moving targets, Multiple moving targets. I don't think I missed. If I did it wasn't more than once. OK, but I mean it.

It's not an easy shot when you got 2 moving targets running. Fascinating. The guy that was outside the outside park, was he up against anything? Was he tucked laying on it? Was it where I think the? Curb. The curb. Was there anything else nearby? I don't. Remember anything? OK. I scanned the parking lot but that's it was nothing moves. I went back to. Did you through your story? You didn't say it. So I, but I just want to clarify, did you hit anybody or pistol whip anybody?

OK. Sir, I may shoot somebody as one thing, right, but I'm not a pistol whipping and being somebody is not my. Thing did you? When you were first? There, did you see a customer leaving in a green Ford Ranger pickup truck? I don't remember. You don't remember? OK I know a guy came in with a kid looking for a go Kart and left. OK. Because I intentionally waited till they were gone. To add, a guy came in looking for a go Kart with his kid and I waited for them to leave. Yes, Sir.

OK. First thing I want to do. To shoot a kid, and that's the best of everything in there is the best of your knowledge. Best of my knowledge, OK. I didn't see anybody else in the parking lot. If they were, they were leaving, and if they heard anything, they were leaving really damn fast because nothing was suppressed. Who got pistol whipped? I don't don't know. Nobody may have, but there was, there was an injury that may, it was, there was an unexplained injury.

So that's why I was asking. No, it's right. I didn't hit anybody with anything my. Investigator Tom Clark at my request, as I dictated OK and what I need to do, since you've already signed it once, but I added that bottom part, I just need you to sign it again for me. Yeah, just below it. And if you'll put this time, well, that's what you can just I can witness influence. Is there anything else you can think of? OK, we're going to step out.

We're going to do some few a few things and then I'll come back in about a few minutes. Do you need anything else to drink? If you get something, they'll take. It would you like water or soda or. Whatever it's going. To be OK, I'll see what we mean. I'll see what we can wrangle up for you. Wonder was that? We'll be right back, bud. But don't want to. Use what? Oh my card fashion number. OK. We'll be right back. I'll. Just stay here. What are you doing? For dinner.

You missed dinner over there. That BBQ wasn't enough. What do you want? What do you have for me? No, I'm asking you. What do you want? I don't. Want to be an asshole? Shut that door mark. You're not being natural. I'm I'm. Telling I'm asking you what? What do you want for dinner? We've we've got what do you got jungles around here? We've got Miami Grill around here. We've got we've got the whatever you want, man. Boiling Springs, cookout, whatever. What's your what do you like to

eat? Cookout'll work. I just that'll work. What do you like from Cookout? Never. Been there. You just got. Them right there? Yes, Sir, they have a. Really good. It's called a giant. Cheeseburger. Giant fries and a giant tea. They're really good works. For me. That's what I usually get. OK, all right, I'll be right back. I just. Don't want to be the guy because I want the step lobster and his asshole. You know, whatever you want to eat, I'm I'm feeding you. Thank you. But.

That's what I mean. Got you. I didn't. Know. OK, yeah, got you. A didn't make them huge. They call them huge at at. Cool. Yeah, cool. It's a huge tea. It's a huge burger. I didn't know. So I just went with the normal lettuce, tomato, pickle, mustard, mayonnaise. And then I got you huge fries. Cool. Thank you. Need to ask you quick. Clarifying questions. OK, and I'm done with that damn statement, man. So. This is yours. You keep it, but I'm done with it.

As long as I have this, I don't care. Yeah, you. No, this is yours. I'm talking about me writing statements. This is just me and me. Talking, although we've got. Some other to talk about. That's what I'm going to ask you. 1st of. All after you left sticker rights, what was your what was your route home? Did you go back down Paris Bridge Rd. How did you get home? Same I'm I'm a creature of had

that. So you left CVS, come up shortly and then run up Paris Bridge, the road right next there there. Or do you? Remember, give me a. Moment. OK, because that's part. Of Boiling Springs to this day gets me confused with I believe this EDS left hard on CVS lamp right, which would be Shelley bridge. Is that right here, But then Shelley bridge, yes, that should be old furnace. You go left cross over the four way and keep booking and booking and booking and booking. Say that again though.

If you leave CVS. There we go. Yes, map is excellent. OK, Hwy. 9 is here, CVS is here. OK, there's a road next to CVS right here and then you go on up on Hwy. 9 and then this is Parrish Bridge Road and it eventually comes down here to Hwy. 9. OK, so right here CVS, did you were here at CVS? Did you go up Hwy. 9 or did you go this? Road to Parrish Bridge 'cause. You're talking about Old Furnace. Old Furnace is up near the high school and all that. I didn't go by in high school.

OK, this road right here would have taken you by Balloon Farms. That little farm thing on the left, it's like a Peach shed. And stuff like. That it's been a long time. Right. Well, after you left the CVS, do you remember going? Up Hwy. 9. Or do you? Remember, you don't remember. Knowing me. I would have taken this and all that. Way and you came back the same way. Yes, OK. Because you mentioned the four way. Well, well, on up there's a full.

Way on Paris Bridge Rd. there's a stop light. Gas stations on the right hand side. If you make a left, it takes you down past nothing that's old. Front of Rd. it goes on. That's old. Front of Rd. because that takes you to a high school. Yeah, I think. Because that's not the way you came. So you. Came up this little road right here and went up Harrisburg Rd. Yeah, I'm not entirely sure. OK, that's. Fine. It was how many years ago? Yeah. So no, you're not sure.

Details are numbers. OK, can you hand me that for a second? I'm going to throw it outside when we're. Just no. It's. Not when you talk about the weapons. Hold on a second you'll. Want me to talk about the weapons? Hang on a second. OK, I'm kind of glad I'm not going. I wish that one was gone. I'm going to take these off. The lines are right.

You. Had mentioned to your mom and that we when we had talked at the jail that there were others and you told your mom she didn't have enough hands. I had some altercations in Arizona. OK. I don't remember all the details. I had a friend of mine that got shot coming out coming out of a alleyway. OK. I found the guy later. On who was your friend that got shot? Michael Sumpton. I was a kid. I don't remember Michael Sumpton. Do you remember the guy that you shot?

I never knew his name. You never knew his name. He he drove a Nova. Grey Nova what? Year was that you think? Well, how old were you? 14. You were 14. What's it then? OK. My my understanding is there was some kid who wanted to be in a gang and was doing his initiation. And his initiation was to shoot your friend. We were just two kids coming out of an alley. We were part of nothing. We were part of nothing. That was his initiation. Yes, Sir. Wow. Have you killed anybody else in

Spartanburg? Yes. Sir. Have you killed anybody else in South Carolina? No, Sir, other than the boy in Arizona and Super bikes and the ones that we have on the property, have you killed anybody else? And this is where I ask it is. Is that enough? I do, but no. No, no, this is the thing. No, this is the thing. This is not. To drive anyhow home or anything like that. OK, you had your moment in here with your mom and this is your

opportunity to get everything. It it's not, you know what I'm saying? It's an opportunity to get everything out of the way, you know, because you're going to be sitting in in a cell and and there's going to be long times and, and you're a compassionate person. I'm a compassionate person, OK, You're in the heat of the moment when somebody pisses you off, you may want to beat the shit out of them, shoot them, stab and kill them, whatever.

But when you're laying there at night, it's gonna it may. Bother. You you see what I'm saying and that's the only reason I'm asking that's. The only one I've shot. That's the only one you've shot. OK. I didn't want to have to explain numbers on the phone and I sure didn't want to give numbers A4. It's it's already hard up. I know you guys are listening. Actually, we have it I'm. Surprised I actually thought you got a name. I got one.

I got a phone call yesterday, finally got a phone call. But you, you said that you knew that you, you said that I had. That's how my mom reached out. Your mom reached out. She told she actually, you told her to reach out to me. I did. OK. Well, she inadvertently reached out somehow through to the solicitor's office who reached out to me. So that's How I Met with one of their investigators.

And he told. Me that your mom had reached out to him and he told me what she had said and then we went from there talking. So that's how all that transpired. OK they're they're they're they're recording probably I don't have I I don't you know I don't I don't OK, so there's no one because. And I was told to ask you, there's 2 missing people out of Gastonia. I can't remember that. And it it's irrelevant. You're saying you not killed or harmed anybody else. That's correct.

The other person that you were talking. About. I'm not sure I'd even killed him. OK. And it was a long, long so. When you told mom she didn't have enough fingers, I just didn't. Know what to tell on the phone? OK, So that was kind of not an, I don't want to say embellishment, but it was just something to. Didn't want to give her phone numbers I. Gotcha. I gotcha. More than one hand, but it's not really a bracking. Kind of. I understand. Somebody's muscle heads may call

that, oh, that's cool. I I don't really call that cool. Hey, Todd, a while ago you made a statement that said that when you you just said those are the only people I've shot. Any other names? OK. I just know that you're very deliberate with what you say. Did you stab anybody or anything like that? Well, not yeah, but not like she was thinking I was a kid. I was killing school bus school scissors. OK, learn, not stab anybody and kill anybody by stabbing them or anything like that, OK? OK.

And you can call me Tommy. You don't call me Sir. It's just respect, right? How old are you 45? What's that image? He's Sir. OK, well. It's hard for me not to to say, Sir. I got you. I understand, man. That's it's, you know, my kids do that to me. I never told him to. My dad was a military man and his dad was a military man. And he would not make me call him Sir because he always had to call people Sir. And I don't make my children call me Sir. But they did.

Just just remember too, at the beginning we told you that there's probably not a lot we're going to be able to do for you. Giving you a a clear conscience is one of the only things we can. Honestly, I'm not worried about my conscience. You gave me what I wanted. What I wanted was to be to have the opportunity to take care of my mom, whether my girlfriend accepts it or not, to at least attempt to take care of her and her kid. Do you still want me to reach out and call?

I have not yet. But do you still want me to reach out and talk to her to see if she wants to come see you or talk to you? If she would please. OK, I. Will the biggest thing is please let her know that whether I screwed up and I can't fix it, I hope that she doesn't basically let her probably get in the way. I've got mom to clear her house on trying to sell this stuff

off. OK, no one will get rich here, but the idea is I'd like to be able to get enough money where she is not damaged, where she can basically restart her life without this over her head and put the kid through some school she grows up to be something positive past that. That's all I wanted. I mean, Mom's going to put some money on my books once the money is released. OK. And you wouldn't need to transfer that to the bank on the computer or to the bank right?

Or by the checkbook. The easiest way would be one or two things. One, release the cash in the safe as option A, or release the two checkbooks. I don't need the escrow checkbook, but I do need the personal checkbook and the company checkbook. What are they? What bank? Account and what are they? Both of those are Wells Fargo. Although on the all the what do they say on? Well, on the on the checks talk hold it. No, it's talk hold and associates.

The one I don't need. There's $1000 in that account. That's mine. I did transfer over. So you want to bring me the escrow? There's three checks. I don't know. What? I don't remember back up. I don't know what you know. I don't know what we're going to be able to do. I just got to there. Is 3 checkbooks all together. OK. One of them actually says what Wachovia is. Blueish Wachovia personal Why could he turn into Wells Fargo? So I left. That glue because I could tell

mine versus the. Companies. Since I'm a sole proprietor, basically something is me. So I pay off a bunch of things if I can just get the cheque books and write her a cheque out of each one of them. I don't know the total total of each account, but if I can kick her. Something then. We can deal with the rest of my later. Well, that's, I mean, we'll, like I said, I can tell you in the beginning, I'll do everything I can because. Mom doesn't have any money. I'll do.

Everything I can, I didn't. Know she was that bad. Mom, you know. I haven't seen her in years. That was in her in years. What happened to her hip? Oh. Man, everything. She's more accent prone than I am. Really. If. If there's a bump, there's if there's a curve, there's something out there. That woman will hit it. She want me to well. Let me go out and take care of a few things, she went. Well, because she was a big girl when I met her the last time I saw her.

She will. Let. Me ask you this too, Todd, in reference to the other two people that we talked about down there, Megan and Johnny, is there anything that you left out while we were at the jail talking while we were at the detention center talking about them that we need to know? I mean obviously you told me and make sure that I'm getting this right. You pick them up at Blackstock and you know what you pick them up at Blackstock and Regal Road and then that's well, OK, no

certain start. I met her there. OK got her number. We talked on the phone for a brief moment, OK, then I met them later on at that next to Ricky's hot dog's big huge parking lot. They walked across and spoke to me there. I almost thought she was going to hit on me to actually come on, show me the right guys in our car, but just not what I was there for. I got you. I'm going to tell you our meaning look shitty and shit.

I understand. I mean, I got you because you show up with with that in that parking lot kind of the way she was I. Understand what you're talking. About basically offered her the job, offered to let him to go in and do her work as well. The next day she the next day of this was over several days. The next day she was in the paper mug shots. I guess you guys had arrested her for meth or some shit hair. I don't know. Something was in her bloodstream and you took her kids away.

OK, I asked her about it and she informed me that yeah, she had drug issues. And with that, I still was going to give him a chance. You know, I get shit happens to people. It's hard. I get it. I'm going to meet him back there. Actually, I meet him there, but they told me the address which is across the street where they were. Do you remember that address? Last year, that's what we were talking about behind the farmer

complex. Yes. OK, I can't say the. Address but another day if you want to. The house is unique enough I can point it out. OK. Because it sits on the corner on at a funky angle. I I OK you. Know what has to talk about? Yeah. What happened there? What do you mean? For you to know that. House I used to patrol out there years ago. I don't know about what particularly happened out there. I just know the house you're talking about. Well, you said no, no, when I used to patrol I patrol that

area. So when you yeah, when I, when you. So, I mean, that's that's I. Patrol that area. I didn't know something else happening. No, not no. I wasn't a part of it. If the house is out on the corner, that's kind of crooked way it's located. And I picked them up and I drove him to my land of kids supplies and got him down to my building. And that's when Johnny pulled a knife out and. You shot him. I shot him. What'd you do with his knife? Oh no, I don't. Keep that contract.

You just threw it out. Yeah, that's right. You got him I. What did she do when you shot Johnny? What did she do when Johnny pulled the knife out? What did she say? Nothing. So you think she was planning on the planning of this? I think she entirely was in the plan of it. There was there was no, oh shit, Johnny, what are you doing? There was none of that. This was her actions were she knew he was doing that. They saw a guy who had a shit load of money driving a car they

can't afford. They didn't even have a car and they were going to get something. So then you shot him how many times? Shot him twice in the chest. He dropped forward, he dropped forward. I went around him and put another one through a spinal cord. OK. And you shot her. Not exactly OK. The conex was not meant to be. A cage, OK. All that changed, it was after the fact. OK. Connex was designed for my food and my weapons and to secure my four Wheeler before I had the building built.

The back area, that's all wood that wasn't designed for them, that was designed for my stuff. Until last week, there was no ceiling on that. I put that in because she was cold. Caleb, it's called. OK, I'm glad we're still talking about John. I got you. She's all related to the back to help keep her warm. I don't know what to do with it man. One side I really want to drop her, the next side I really I found fucked up. I kind of wanted to save her ass.

I I don't. Let me back up real quick before we go that far because we were talking about Johnny. The gorilla was with Johnny. Did you shoot her? Not at that time. OK, what happened with her? She panicked and then she told her to sit down. She sat down, went ahead and cuffed her, patted her down, told her I wasn't going to hurt her. She calmed down and I actually took her to the conex. No, that's not true. I had her way there for a while.

I've never had to do with her. I did one of my conex because I had stuff in there and know what the hell to do with it. Putting her in with my guns is not a good idea. I can understand that. I actually had to go. For the first time I ever had a look at the panic of what the hell do I do with her? Put her here. Put her there. Drop her. What the hell to do? Do I call the cops? Oh shit, I got legal guns. Oh shit, oh shit. Oh shit. What do I do with her? Shoot that shit. Crazy man.

That's what you said earlier. I told her I wasn't going to touch her, wasn't going to rape her, wasn't going to her, just calm the hell down and let me sort this shit out. Somewhere between when I did that I shot him back tight in the back, got her to calm down and kept coming back and forth trying to figure out what to do. But I had her cuffed and she wouldn't go anywhere. Eventually I went and locked once I left her on the floor for a while. I left her on that floor, cuffed.

I wouldn't because I didn't know what I'll do with her. I didn't want her in the building. OK. Got the tractor, got it out of there, picked the body up and was trying to figure out what the hell to do with it. This is Johnny's body. Yeah, OK. Like I said, I was held with. A meltdown I understand. The lamb was supposed to be my. Sanctuary. Yeah, not my killing field. Right, I understand not that. 'D be my killing field.

It was supposed to be the place where I'd go to relax and get away from people and not deal with this shit. This. This killing. We bothered because it was such needless bullshit. Hell, I was giving them money. Why were you bothering me? I. Went down to the comics, cleaned out the back area because I had shit all in there. And at one time those ammo racks weren't there. The ammo rack was here and here, pistol, rifle. So there was only that much space at the back.

So I moved all the guns forward and at that time those were on casters and those are not on casters. Now put her back there to her. Calm the hell down. Let me rethink this crap. Let me see what the hell I'm. I'm trying to figure out what to do. One guy, Johnny, went over there and dug a hole. And like I said, you take the tractor and you keep going in and dig and what you end up doing is making a slanted until

I could put him here. Dug that, stuck him in it, covered it up. It's a lot more work than you think. Did that, went back and dealt with her, tried to figure out what to do with her. Really wasn't sure. Ended up basically leaving her tied up there and went and got some chain. I had chain around. There's lots of chain in that building. I used chain for all kinds of

shit. There's chain in the in the woods where I've got trees that come along that are certainly leaning towards my fence and I'll put a chain around it. I could come along to it and start working this way and over a period of time it'll fall away from the fence. So chain and cable and that kind of stuff. I got a lot of tied her up after there while I try to figure out what. Didn't know what to do with it man. Got rid of Johnny, came back, left her there, went and got food, fed the girl.

Fed her after she tried to rob you man. What do you want to do with her? I don't want to shoot her, I understand. I mean, I can't have some crazy batshit woman going back up. I mean, she was going to bipolar left and right. She wouldn't calm down. Like oh, she finally calmed down, but she would, she was talking to me and 1st she had drug issues and then she kept going off the deep end with weird shit and kept talking and then she kept telling me that she had Mac manic modes or some

sort of bipolar lithium crap. How the hell it was where? I mean she was up, down, up, down, up, down. So she didn't mellow out like Kayla did. No, not at all. She did finally calm down. But. She. Wasn't upset. What made you decide to shoot her? I'll get to that, OK. I wasn't going to shoot her. OK, I was going to give her money, OK. I don't know why the hell she let the hell off I held her. I hate the kidnapping part. There's another one. I held her in there for a couple

days. How many days? 5 or 6. OK. I Every every other damn day she wanted Little Caesars pizza. I ate that shit. All the good in heartburn. Little Caesars pizza. Mountain Dew. Not Mountain Dew. Dr. Pepper salmon rolls in friggin Newports. If you go down to my building, you'll find an unused package of Newports that I bought for her. And then you went batshit. She took, she tried to light my damn building on fire. Do you know? How and how back of what building the Conex?

The Newport pack is still there. The Newport pack is still inside the toolbox. This is the unused pack. I bought her a actually bought her a card. OK, I don't. I don't buy, I don't smoke. I. Don't know how to buy her. I went in the store, I said OK I need I think Newports Reds. Where the hell they were the lady went? Do you want a pack or a cardinal? Oh shit, I don't really know. Give me a frigging carton. Got her that, got her lighter. Wasn't sure what the hell to

give her man. Is that toolbox inside the comics or is it in one of the ones inside the It's the building? Red toolbox inside the building, bottom drawer, left hand side. You'll find some Lube and stuff in there. I had none do it. I just didn't know where the hell to put the shit. There's also a friend of mine gave me his girlfriend gave me 1000 little packets of KY. Do you want to use it? I don't know. You didn't use it. I don't know. It's still in the bag.

I am infection. So then what happened with her? Went from there. Oh, there's a collar in there. That collar was careless. Net collar. Yeah, she had me order. It she asked you to order it. Yes, Sir. OK. We'll get to that in a minute. Didn't use it because if it came in the mail I would tell him went oh. OK. And she said he came from Megan. It's it's a stainless steel collar with like hooks for putting like locks on, I mean. Dude. It's like having me. I don't treat my dogs that way.

So what happened with Megan? Put in there, fed up for a couple days, proceeded to go ahead. Mostly just left people the hell alone. Left her alone. I didn't know what to do with her and then she kept burning shit. I come in and often find that she burnt her blanket and she burnt this. She's sitting next to 100,000 reps ammo. Love of God please stop burning shit. If that thing goes off.

Do you know what? Do you know what that would do to a neighborhood or an area that's only a neighborhood? It wouldn't. Holy shit. Please do not catch the building on fire. She kept trying to get shit on fire and then go on smoking. I would open the door and then the cloud would come out. It's like, well, those cartoons looking back, giving her cigarettes, why I made a mistake.

I had her there, left her alone, took her down the other building, sat her down for a while, got her to calm down. Just please calm down. Got her some food, told her basically that if she would just chill the hell out. You don't know me, you don't know very much about me, you don't have shit. And last time I could check from what was online, she had a warrant when they were looking for her ass. I'll give you what, $4000? I'll drive you up to Dayton, TN. I'll drop your ass off

somewhere. If you got any common sense on this planet, you'll go left and I'll go right. What? She said. Oh, she got so excited I got my Dick sucked. She did. Yeah, it wasn't bad. Oh, no. OK, hey girl went off of hey. I told her I would drove her $4000 and basically release her in Tennessee. Just go. Please go. Don't come back. It seemed like an easy, It seemed like an easy solution. She didn't really know my name. She didn't know my address.

She didn't know where I lived when I first met her. I mean, I told her who I was, but I just told her I was a realtor. She didn't really know me. There was very little for her to come in. What's she going to do? She's got warrants out for her arrest. She'll like call you guys up to say some asshole shot my boyfriend, but you're looking for me anyhow. I don't know where he lives. We went to some land. I don't know where the fuck I was. Can I ask you a question? Yes, Sir. Did and I'm.

I am jumping back and forth. That's right, back to Megan In in just a minute. Did you give Kayla any cigarettes or did you Did you give Kayla cigarettes? Cigarettes. No. She took a shit load of pills. OK. So does she want cigarettes? She asked me for for weed. Why would you not? Is is that so obviously you didn't give it to her. Was the trouble that you had with Megan something that you decided I'm not going to go through this again? Oh, definitely top thing.

So you basically went for, you know, you didn't want to give her cigarettes to let her attempt to burn shit because you learned from what Megan did. Yes, You wasn't going on fire. You wasn't going to let Kayla do that. But I don't remember Kayla asking me for. Cigarettes. Kayla didn't ask you for cigarettes. OK, But Megan. So you're, you're sitting there with Megan. Yes, Sir. And Megan, I don't. Understand the question then, because she didn't ask me for

cigarettes. Well, and that's fine. I didn't know if she did or not. I just, I just thought that I wasn't going to give her anything like that. There you go. All that stuff was was Burg and I was like. So with Megan, you, you. You made her the offer of the $4000. Keep your mouth shut. I think you're Tennessee. Drop you off and leave it. You go one way, I'll go the other way. What made that change? What happened? What? Do you mean what made that change?

Well, she ended up dead. Oh, you mean what? What were proceeded? Yeah. That makes sense. I'll use your words, we're proceeded. I'm not trying to be. Any No. Yeah, you just need. You, man, What? You're not being an asshole. What? I do, We're fine. I wanted to get rid of her. The weather went to shit. We were having sleet. It was right before Christmas, man. We were here having sleet.

We were having rain. The weather went to shit and I still had to find a way to get away from Ashley, my girlfriend, long enough to get up out of work, get this person in Tennessee, drop her off and get home. That's not a that's not just a couple hour trip, no. And if I'm driving her, it's a big border. We're going north of Nashville. I want her way away from me. I I want her to forget where South Carolina is. I told her so I give you, I give you 4K in cash.

Drop you off somewhere on the side of the other side of nowhere. If you got any common sense, you keep walking. Go get a job at go get a job at A at A at a diner somewhere working as a waitress. Get your shit, get your shit right. Don't come back. They got lunch free here and I'm here, so just don't come back. She was going to take it. She was happy. She was happy as hell. For like 2 days she was happy as hell.

I just couldn't get past the weather the last day I went over there, opened the Conex up. She burned half the friggin building this stuff. I mean, she took my ammo racks and grabbed. Them and did this. Holy shit. Oh, I'm going to tell you I'm not. For such a real shit, damn. So then what? Happened well there was ammo everywhere and stuff everywhere and she broke the thing and I I got her a fan. She broke the fan prime and just can't beat that shit to their two day shipping.

Got her all those. There's a pen in there now but it came as a 2 pack. I had her those to get air ventilation. I got laners for her so she have light. I did the best I could to make it somewhere livable. Got her blankets, got her pillows. She lit the damn thing on fire. I'm surprised she didn't fixate. That's what I was thinking. I'm surprised she didn't when I was in the building.

I mean, I was choking. I'm going, holy shit, went to get her out and then all of a sudden it's like I had a caged animal on my hands. I don't know what the hell, what the hell she went from. I'm so freaking happy in the world to be I'm going to go to Tennessee with money and I'm going to restart my life. And thank you, thank you, thank you. To. That shit crazy. So let me just look that up. I. Got you. At that point, I tried to walk her out of the building.

I just had enough. I walked outside. I was trying to calm down her. What the hell to do with her, what to do with her, what to do with her. I didn't know. I came back in the building. She was going nuts. Just it wasn't like she was emotional about the situation. This, this has been days. It wasn't like that. It was just like serious chemical imbalance yet. And she walked outside. I walked, I walked her outside and walked her outside. I put a four in the back of her head.

What gun did you shoot her with? The same one that you shot Johnny Wood, and that's a Glock. And that's the same 1 you shot. Charlie. Charlie what? Is my favorite gun just it's. Just it's a. It's a handy, handy one. It's very effective, especially if you shoot a. 180. Grains, let me ask you this one I do have, I do have one clarification question with with Charlie, OK, because like we talked to you before about the feet we're missing. I didn't tell you.

My feet I I I know, I know. You didn't, I know you didn't Animals, whatever 'cause you said you had coyotes out there. I do. When you know how you saying you you dug out and it kind of leaves a little little ramp kind of thing there. When you put him in the the hole grave, so to speak. OK. Was he face down? Was his head going downhill? Was his head coming going up? Was he on his back? Do you remember? I don't remember. I hit tail today. So you just hit tilt, He fell

out. All I do is all I do is drive up there, hit tilt, dropped him out the way he way he went, the way he went the. The hole is this way. Yes, Sir. Did he? Ran this way or this way? Do you remember? Well, there we got. There you go. If if you if you dig. Here. Going this way and you basically as you go in, you keep going down deeper. So it ends up like this. Right, right. As you go down you I put. I don't know why I keep acting like I did this.

A lot of times I did them put the dirt to the side, put. The dirt. To the side and I put the dirt behind it and then when I basically just grow down. But there had been a lot of rain days before this. OK. So there was water down there and I got him down as far as I could and then I just basically hit the little far forward, hit the bucket, hit the get the dirt as I could behind him, pull it, put this dirt, put that dirt and cover it as best I could. I think he was kind of.

Sideways and you know how the two holes? Are parallel. This so he wouldn't like, let's say this is a bed. He wouldn't be laying in a like head to head to football at the headboard at the football. He'd be kind of more catty cornered across it. This one way he could be in there I I he would never be like this one. OK. And the the reason? So you would have been digging from this angle, reaching out. Coming back this way, right?
