South Carolina Woman Missing For 2 Months Found ‘Chained Like a Dog’ Inside Container

According to KTLA– Kala Victoria Brown, a South Carolina woman missing since late August was found alive Thursday, chained “like a dog” inside a metal container on a rural property near in South Carolina.

Brown told deputies there also might be four bodies on the nearly 100-acre property, which is owned by Todd Kohlhepp, the sheriff said. Kohlhepp, a registered sex offender, was arrested.

“We’re trying to make sure that we don’t have a serial killer on our hands,” Wright said.

Brown’s 32-year-old boyfriend, Charles David Carver, who also disappeared in August, is still missing.

Wright told the media that investigators think Kohlhepp, Carver and Brown may have been friends.

“I don’t think this was a random act,” the sheriff said.

Brown, 30, was found “chained up like a dog” around the neck and was locked in the 30-foot-long shipping container for two months. Brown told deputies she had been fed.

Deputies were searching the property on Thursday morning, when they heard Brown banging on the container.

Kohlhepp, 45, was added to the South Carolina Sex Offender Registry as a result of a 1987 kidnapping conviction in Arizona when he was a teenager.

Wright thanked the efforts of the Spartanburg County sex crimes investigators for leading them to the Kohlhepp property.

The sheriff said deputies found weapons on the property.

He described the property as a farm. Kohlhepp doesn’t live on the property but was arrested there Thursday. It is unclear whether he has an attorney.

Black Autistic Teen Attacked By White Man After Getting Lost During Cross Country Race

The mother of an autistic New York teen is seeking answers after she says her son was assaulted for no reason.

The Democrat And Chronicle reports:

Chase Coleman, 15, was out running with his cross country team when he became lost and disoriented.

Witnesses report that the boy who does not speak and has autism, was then assaulted by a white man who told him to “get out of here” and shoved him to the ground.

An allegation of an assault on an autistic teenager from Syracuse in Cobbs Hill Park two weeks ago has prompted charges of racism and favoritism from the boy’s mother and is drawing national media attention.

Martin MacDonald, 57, of Pittsford, acknowledged to police that he shoved Chase Coleman, 15, to the ground during a physical altercation on a roadway in the park on the afternoon of Oct. 14, according to the police report of the incident.

Chase, who is autistic and cannot speak, is a member of his high school’s cross country team and was in the park participating in a road race.

The police report cited two witnesses, one of whom, Collin Thompson, 31, was jogging in the park and told police that she saw MacDonald get out of the vehicle and push Chase to the ground in the middle of the road and yell, “Get out of here.”

Police did not interview the second witness, whose name and information was provided to an officer by Chase’s mother. That witness, however, told the Post-Standard that he was bicycling and saw MacDonald “get out of his car and yell at Chase for several minutes.”

“I see a grown man, who is quite tall and fairly heavy … exit the vehicle and give this young man a shove that puts him back 10 feet and flat on his butt,” the witness, Kris Van Metter, 42, was quoted as saying.

Milwaukee Cop Who Killed Sylville Smith Fired For Sexaul Assaulting A Man, Not For Shooting

Bossip — Officer Dominique Heaggan-Brown, the trigger happy cop who shot and killed Sylville Smith, no longer has a job. Not because he used questionable judgement when he killed a potentially unarmed black man, but because he is being accused of the sexual assault of a man.

On August 15th, a victim reported to Milwaukee police he had been sexually assaulted by Heaggan-Brown while off-duty. An investigation, conducted by MPD’s Internal Affairs Division and Sensitive Crimes Division, resulted in the criminal complaint filed by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office. MPD’s investigation revealed additional allegations, resulting in added charges.

The criminal complaint filed against Heaggan-Brown on October 20th indicates there were four victims in all. The incidents described in the complaint happened in December 2015, July 2016 and August 2016.

In the most recent alleged crime, Heaggan-Brown apparently dropped an adult victim off at St. Joseph’s Hospital on August 15th. Heaggan-Brown told hospital workers the victim was “completely out, zonked out of his gourd.” While nurses were giving aid to the victim, the complaint indicates the victim “flipped out. ‘Help me, help me, he was touching me,’ exclaimed (the victim).”

Upon investigation, police found that Heaggan-Brown had solicited male prostitutes over a dozen different times, one who had to be hospitalized over an alleged drugging.

The officer will be arraigned November 4th for second degree sexual assault (two counts), prostitution (two counts), capture an intimate representation without consent.
