Arizona Looking Into Cold Cases ... Todd Kohlhepp ... Serial Killer ...
Admitted To Police in SC to Shooting Someone in Arizona
Tempe, Ariz., Police Department is investigating unsolved homicides and missing persons cases dating back 30 years to see if any are linked to accused serial killer Todd Kohlhepp.
Todd Kohlhepp has been Confessed to 7 Murders in Spartanburg, including the 2003 Quadruple Homicide at Superbike Motorsports in Chesnee. Kohlhepp has been charged in those 4 slayings.
In an Interview with, Melissa Ponder Brackman, the widow of Scott Ponder, one of the Superbike victims, played a recording of the phone call she got when an investigator from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office called to tell her Kohlhepp had confessed.
At the end of the phone call, the investigator told Brackman Kohlhepp “admitted to shooting somebody in Arizona.”
The Tempe Police Department, said isn't aware of any specific incidents being reviewed by her agency, but confirmed investigators are going through old cases.
“I don’t know for sure what cases are being reviewed,” Montenegro said. “I imagine the homicide unit would want to review everything. They handle missing persons cases as well. We’ll probably be looking at everything.”
Montenegro said her agency would be looking at the narrow window between August 2001, when Kohlhepp was released from jail after serving 15 years on a kidnapping charge, and approximately November 2001, when Kohlhepp returned to South Carolina. She said Tempe investigators are also going back to 1986, when Kohlhepp was arrested, to see if there are any unsolved crimes that could be tied to him.
Todd Kohlhepp had enough money to fly back and forth to Arizona. Remember also he had a Pilots License ... Plenty of money ... Confessed to shooting someone in Arizona ...
Kohlhepp moved to Arizona when he was 12, and was arrested at 15 when he was accused of kidnapping a 14-year-old girl at gunpoint and sexually assaulting her.
Montenegro said it will take time for investigators to go through all the cases to determine whether any need to be reopened.
