		Conway, SC    1991 A BEAUTIFUL SLEEPY SOUTHERN TOWN. TORN APART BY ONE SICK-O                ONE KEN RIGISTER WHO WILL BUST HELL WIDE OPEN CRYSTAL FAYE TODD - JOHNNIE KENNETH "KEN" REGISTER -  THE BRUTAL MURDER OF CRYSTAL FAYE TODD ...                          Crystal Faye Todd Crystal Fay Todd (17) was looking forward to graduation and beginning the rest of her life outside of school. Crystal's life was cut short by a psycopath she and her mother Bonnie had allowed into their home, into their lives and called a friend.       Bonnie Faye Todd  and  Crystal 1991- September 23 -  Coastal Carolina College campus:  A young man drives up to two female students (17 & 18) asking them for directions. As he speaks he plays with his genitals and starts to unfasten his pants. As the two girls hurriedly leave, he raises himself up in the seat and waggles his sexual organs at them. Noting the license number from the vehicle, the girls provide it to police. The vehicle is traced to Shirley Register, mother of Ken Register. She confirms that her son was driving her vehicle. Ken Register is picked out of a lineup and is arrested for indecent exposure. He is released on $2,000 bond. A pretrial hearing is held. The charge is still pending.  His friends and neighbors are unaware of the events.     Ken Register & Crystal Todd   CRYSTAL TODD'S DISAPPEARANCE 1991 - November 16 - SATURDAY EVENING Crystal Todd attends her grandmothers birthday party in Toddsville, S.C. 7:00 PM - Crystal leaves the party and drives to the mall. 8:00 PM - Crystal is in the parking lot chatting with a girlfriend. 9:00 PM - Crystal and the friend leave the mall and drive to a party at the home of another friend. 9:30 PM - The two girls arrive at the friend's party. 11:00 PM  Crystal and her friend leave the party and drive to the mall parking lot where her friend had left her vehicle. The friend has an 11:15 curfew. Crystal drives off - her curfew is 12:00 midnight. 11:20 PM- Crystal Faye Todd is last seen at the Coastal Mall downtown. 1991 - November 17 - SUNDAY MORNING 3:00 AM - Bonnie Todd calls 911 - Dispatcher asures Bonnie that it's not unusual forteens to miss curfew times when they're having a good time. He asks Bonnie to notify him when Crystal shows up. 8:00 AM - Sunday Morning - 911 Dispatcher receives another call from Bonnie Todd. Crystal's vehicle was seen by Crystal's girlfriends parked at the Elm Street side of the Conway Middle School. Police officers are sent out to Bonnie Todd's residence.Police officers at the school have found Crystal's car locked, her purse inside. The car keys are missing.          A GRUESOME DISCOVERY A pickup truck with two men drives down a dirt road off of Highway 813 outside of Conway, S.C.  Inside a heavily wood area the truck stops and the men climb out. One notices something in a ditch nearby. Both men step over to look and find what looks like it a badly mutiliated human female body. They promptly notify police.               THE CRIME SCENE Horry County Chief of Police J. Gordon Harris, Homicide Detective Bill Knowles and other police officers arrive and find at the scene: Footprints, Tire tracks A trail of blood running to the ditch Signs of a struggle The female victim's belt and blue jeans are unfastened and are pulled down around her hips. The shirt was pulled open and torn. The shirt and bra was pulled up exposing her upper body. The buttons from the shirt are missing. A lot of blood upon the victim's face rendering it unrecognizeable. A gaping 3-4 inch cut across the throat area with the throat slashed multiple times. Multiple stab and slash wounds in the breast and abdomen area; a cut on the stomach, the victim had been disemboweled. A school class ring on a finger of the victim. Forensic: Crime scene photographs, blood samples, tire and shoe print impressions; scrapings from under the victims fingernails are obtained.  The school class ring is engraved -       Crystal Faye Todd Police break the sad news to Bonnie Faye Todd who was inconsolable at the loss of her only child. 1991 - November 18 - MONDAYNewspapers report that Crystal Todd is found dead and suffered multiple stab wounds. Police release minimal information regarding her death. Bonnie Faye Todd  "She was my whole life. I dont know that I'll make it without her.  I dont really want to." "I'm sure Crystal's killer is someone she knew and trusted." Horry County posts a $5,000 reward & Horry County Crime Stoppers posts a $5,000 reward for any information that will lead to the killer of Crystal Todd. Chief Harris "We cannot emphasize how serious and how strongly we consider this particular crime to be. It's probably one of the most brutal that many of us have seen in a long, long time." "Crystal probably knew her killer. We do not feel that Crystal would have ridden off with someone she did not know. She was not a person to take up with someone she did not know.  It was her habit, and it was not the norm for her. Were looking at everyone as suspects and were eliminating them from that point on.  We do not have a prime suspect."           FORENSIC AUTOPSY Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston It is determined that Crystal had lived for several minutes after the attack and had bled to death. The autopsy determines Crystal Faye Todd had suffered: Brutal mouth, vaginal and anal rape; bruises to her vaginal and rectal areas. Semen- PGM subtype from a secretor is found in her mouth, vagina and anal areas. More than 30 cuts and stabs - 3 of which crushed her skull and 1 entered her brain. 7 bruises and 3 abrasions. Her throat had been cut from ear to ear. There were stabs in a linear pattern down her chest. She had been disemboweled. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) agents Mike Anderson, Campbell Streater, Ben Thomas and David Caldwell, Behavior analyst are called in to assist Horry County. (Caldwell creates profiles of killers and crime scenes where there are no suspects.)          APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC 1991 - November 23 - Bonnie Todd appeals to the public to help find Crystal's killer. Bonnie Todd  "If I knew somebody had done something like this, I'd tell on them so they could get him before he gets somebody else. I wouldn't want to see anybody else's daughter dead. I miss Crystal very much and I can't stop thinking about her. She's never been away from me very much.  We've always been together. I tell everyone to be careful because theres a maniac still out there. We don't know who that devil is. If they don't catch him, he's liable to get somebody else." Fear is rampant in Horry County among students at the school and among parents in the community.   FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS A friend of Crystal Todd, Ken Register is a constant visitor to Bonnie Todd and consoles her when she cries over the loss of Crystal, and the brutal way she was murdered. Ken Register is present at Bonnie Todd's home more than he ever visited when Crystal was alive. Bonnie asks several close friends of Crystal to be pallbearers at the funeral. Ken Register is one of those asked, and he agrees to be a pallbearer for his friend Crystal.                      INVESTIGATION Police interview schoolmates and other citizens of the county. They ask for a voluntary knife inspection. Citizens are helpful and cooperative. None of the knives they inspect match the crime.                 FUNERAL The funeral generates a huge turnout of Crystal's friends and classmates and people of the town and county. Ken Register is a pallbearer for Crystal Faye Todd.  After the funeral he continues to visit Bonnie Todd.                 INVESTIGATION                   January 1992 Andrew Von Tyndall (31) is questioned regarding the murder and blood samples are taken. Testing for DNA rules him out. 1992 - January 13 - Police are continuing to investigate Crystal's friends, former boyfriends and even acquaintances. Ken Register is nervous because police want blood samples. He voluntarily consents to blood, saliva, head and pubic hair samples, fingerprints and palm prints being taken. He also provides a written statement of his movements on the night of Crystal's murder. After his blood sample is taken, Ken Register doesn't visit Bonnie Todd anymore. 1992 - February 15 - Detective Bill Knowles is notified by SLED that a perfect DNA match has been made. It is Ken Register. 1992 - February 18 -  Police are at Ken Register's place of employment. Register reads and signs the statement he made on January 13, 1992. Then he is handcuffed and read his Miranda rights, the murder warrant and other warrants for the kidnapping, rape and murder of Crystal Faye Todd.   10:20 AM - 1:30 PM - Ken Register is interviewed. Repeatedly he asks to speak, not to a lawyer, but to his mother. 2:20 PM - Police tell Ken Register they've spoken to his mother. The Detectives continue to interview Register. He answers questions regarding his family, his current 14 year old girlfriend, and most of all, his movements on the night of Crystal's murder. 3:00 PM - Ken Register confesses to murdering Crystal Faye Todd.                     CONFESSION Ken Register tells police his version of what occurred: He and Crystal drove to a rural area and had consensual sex without protection. Crystal was furious because he ejaculated and screamed and threatened that if she became pregnant she would accuse him of rape. He claims that Crystal's screaming made him angry, so angry he felt he'd do anything to stop her. He took a knife he kept in his vehicle and began stabbing her. He further claims that after he realized what he had done, he dragged her from his car into a ditch, threw away his knife and then drove home.  SEARCH OF THE REGISTER HOME A warrant is served and police find: A Case knife. A long camoflage knife with sheath. Newspaper articles regarding Crystal's death clipped and hidden within the family bible. A green army blanket with hair and fiber samples Fibert samples from: a pair of red socks, a green shirt, two sweaters. Police later serve a second warrant. They retrieve a pocketnife box that was missed/unnoticed during the first search.                               INDICTMENT 1992 - April 16 - Johnnie Kenneth Register II is indicted for Crystal Todd's murder. Prosecutors intend to seek the Death Penalty. The news spread through the community like wildfire. No one is in more shock and disbelief than Bonnie Todd. Bonnie Todd "He's been our friend for years and years, hee was everybody's friend around here. I said, Ken, you don't have to worry about your blood test. You didn't do it. He's the only one I said that to."                                 CONVICTION 1992 - September 21 - Ken Register is tried and convicted on pending indecent exposure charges.  Judge denies motion to suppress DNA evidence. Judge rules Ken Register "had freely and voluntarily confessed, that he had been properly advised of and understood his Miranda rights, and that he had knowingly and intelligently waived his rights to remain silent and to have counsel present with him during custodial questioning."                   MURDER TRIAL 1993 - January 11 - Kenneth Register is brought from jail for trial.  Evidence and testimony presented: Crystal Todd's injuries were inflicted by a blade the size of and Old-Timer knife. A friend of Ken Register testifies that Ken Register normally carried an Old-Timer knife. Ken Register had his car professionally cleaned twice just after the murder. He had new tires put on the vehicle. Despite his efforts, forensic blood evidence was found on the steering wheel, gear stick and the door handles of the vehicle. Ken Register's account(s) of where he had been that night were inconsistent. Co-workers testified that Ken Register had described to them Crystal Todd's injuries in "sexual terms", that she had been cut from her throat to her vagina and stabbed in the head. Police testified that those details Ken Register spoke of had not released to anyone in the public. Only the killer of Crystal Todd would know them. In Ken Register's confession he had spoke of dragging Crystal's body. Drag marks extending from the pool of blood on the dirt road to her body in the ditch match his statement. Forensic testimony - Serological evidence: Ken Register's blood is a rare PGM subtype and is a "secretor."  The expert testifies "There is a 1 in 250 million chance this would happen." Ken Register's semen matched the semen found in Crystal Todd's body. TAKING THE STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE Ken Register testifies on the stand. He denies kidnapping, raping and murdering Crystal Todd.                      CONVICTION Ken Register is unanimously convicted of criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, rape, and the torture murder of Crystal Faye Todd. Count 1 - Murder - GuiltyCount 2 - Criminal Sexual conduct in 1st degree - Guilty Count 3 - Kidnapping - Guilty Count 4 - Buggery and sodomy - Guilty The Defense argues against the Death Penalty and for a Life sentence. The Prosecution argues for the Death Penalty. The crime is a heinous and horrific one. Any woman who had gotten into his car that night would have suffered what Crystal Faye Todd had suffered.   VICTIM'S IMPACT STATMENT Bonnie Todd  "I'd rather be dead than sitting here. I'd crawl in the grave now  and let her have every thing I had." "I've got nothing left."         AWAITING SENTENCING Bonnie Todd "He needs something worse than the electric chair. He deserves just what she (Crystal) got."            SENTENCE 1993 - January 26 - Life in Prison + 35 years. The citizens of the Jury recommend that Johnnie Kenneth "Ken" Register II spend the rest of his natural life in prison.   Ken Register is incarcerated in the Allendale Correctional Institution in Allendale, SC. during the Appeals Process.                PAROLE ELIGIBILITY                   1993 Prison Photo: Ken Register                    2008 Prison Photo: Ken Register Although the citizens of the Jury recommended Register spend the rest of his days in prison, he will be ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE. Due to the heinous nature of the crimes it's unlikely the parole board will grant it. Ken Register's Projected Parole Date: February 18, 2022 If released he will be eligible for "Supervised Furlough" which means he will be supervised by the Parole dept. In addition he will be placed on the Sex Offender Registry.                    APPEALS Johnnie Kenneth Register was later transported to Broad River Correctional Institution, Columbia, South Carolina where he is currently (as of 2009) incarcerated. 1995 - Johnnie Kenneth "Ken" Register II 's appeal to the State Supreme Court was           reviewed.

John Ludwig pleaded guilty to reckless homicide in a Greenville courtroom Monday morning, but will serve no jail time.
Judge Judge James C. Williams Jr. sentenced Ludwig to five years probation, suspended to three years probation. Ludwig must also serve 500 hours of community service.
The 13th Circuit Solicitor's Office recommended the maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for Ludwig on this reckless homicide charge. The murder charge against Ludwig has been dismissed.
Solicitor Bob Ariail said the following after the sentencing of John Ludwig: "We strongly believed, as an advocate, that Mr. Ludwig deserved an active prison sentence and urged the Judge to impose the maximum ten year sentence. We were shocked at the sentence imposed. However, Retired Judge James Williams, who was specifically appointed by the Chief Justice to handle this case, is ultimately responsible for determining the proper punishment. He considered everything we presented and made his decision, and I have no doubt he fairly and thoroughly considered the evidence and imposed the sentence he felt was correct."
Solicitor Bob Ariail says DNA on the airbag of the Maserati confirms Ludwig was behind the wheel in April when his car crashed into the home of Frederic Bardsley in Travelers Rest. Ariail says Ludwig was the only person in the vehicle.
In court, Ariail says the chief legal counsel of SDI, Ludwig's former company, was traveling in front from of Ludwig when Ludwig passed him on the left pulled in front of him and went off the right side of Roe Ford Road. The posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour and is posted no passing.
Ariail says experts determined Ludwig was traveling at least 85 miles an hour when the accident happened.
Ariail says in court that Ludwig has 24 traffic citations - most cited as speeding by Ariail - since 1992. Ludwig's attorney says all but two of the speeding violations were 10mph above the posted limits for those offenses.
Ludwig's attorney says alcohol or drugs did not play a role in what happened when he crashed his car into the Bardsley home on on April 25, 2009. The defense introduced several witnesses to address the character of Ludwig before Judge Williams Jr.
Ludwig's family and friends were in court to testify to Ludwig's character.
Police say Ludwig was driving more than 85 mph and lost control of his Maserati April 25. The car sped across a field before plowing into the back of 62-year-old Frederic Bardsley's home. Bardsley was killed. His wife, who was upstairs, was unhurt, and Ludwig suffered minor injuries.
