Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck
Wright said that Kala Brown, the woman rescued after spending two
months chained up inside a metal container, was in good spirits and
looked good considering her ordeal.
Wright
spoke to reporters as investigators scoured the suspect's 100-acre
property in Woodruff, South Carolina in the hopes of finding Brown's
boyfriend, Charile Carver, who went missing with Brown back on August
31.
The sheriff called it
"divine intervention from God himself," that led investigators to
Brown's location and called it "good investigative work" that brought
them out to the property in the first place.
After
receiving a tip, investigators went out to a plot of land owned by the
suspect, convicted sex offender Todd Kohlhepp, and began combing through
the massive property when they heard "banging" coming from a container,
authorities said.
Once they
were able to get inside the padlocked, 30-by-15 foot metal container,
they found Brown "chained up like a dog," Sheriff Wright said. Asked
about her condition on Thursday night, the sheriff said "She was in good
spirits. She looked good," considering the circumstances. Earlier he
said that Brown was "obviously traumatized."
Wright said that police
had so far had not discovered any indication pointing to Carver's
whereabouts. "We don't have any indication either way. We're certainly
praying for the best outcome," he said.
Officials said they
recovered multiple weapons and ammunition on the property, but that so
far no human remains have been discovered.
Wright said that Brown
"told us that there may be four people on this property," and added,
"We're going back as far as we can for every piece of property this man
has ever had to find what we need."
Kohlhepp, 45, was jailed over a kidnapping
charge back in 1987, South Carolina records indicate, and was required
to register as a sex offender. He is currently being held on one charge
of kidnapping as the investigation continues.
