South Carolina serial killer Todd Kohlhepp confesses to the Superbike Motorsports mass murder.
This is part 2 of “The Realtor.” I suggest starting with part 1.
It was a Thursday morning. Kohlhepp walked into the Superbike motorsports store and started scoping out the place. He’s not shopping for motorcycle. He’s looking for his next victims.
Kohlhepp: “I got there. Not everybody was there. I went in sat on a few bikes, did my usual. Basically buying for time. And doing my best to make sure the paying customers are not there. Collateral damage is not cool.
I chose a time when it was not busy. A time after work when I would have a lot of people in there. I did not want to shoot other people. Finally all four show up. From the sound of it nobody else was there.”
The four people Kohlhepp is referencing are Brian Lucas, Chris Sherbert, Scott Ponder, and Scott’s mother Beverly Guy.
Investigator: “When you say all four?”
Kohlhepp: “All the four people who work at the bike store. The mechanic, the mom. I was not going for the mom but she was there at the time. Working there. She was thrown into it. She was not a primary target.”
The store finally cleared. Kohlhepp was the only customer in the store. He tells one of the employees that he’s interested in a certain bike.
Kohlhepp: “I cleared that room in under 30 seconds. You guys would have been proud. I’m sorry but you guys would have been proud.”
This was the crime Kohlhepp got away with. Nobody was looking for him. Why would he confess?
