Authorities have found another body buried at the rural South Carolina property where a woman was found chained in a metal container.
Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright said Sunday human remains have been uncovered in one of the two places that Todd Kohlhepp pointed to as gravesites. Wright says “we’re not even close” on identifying the remains or cause of death.
