Happy holidays everyone!!
Happy holidays to you too! Thank you for these videos!
Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Everything and Happy Always! Thank you for your videos!
Merry Christmas and new year 🥳
Have a great Christmas eve and Christmas day with your family
I’m from Spartanburg, SC and this guy killed one of my best friends. He was one of the four in the motorcycle shop. He was the first one killed. His name is Chris Sherbert. I’ve known him since he was born, I know all of his family. This was and still is heartbreaking for all of us that knew him. His photo is the first one in the row of four. God rest his soul.
I am so sorry 💜😞
So sorry for you tragic loss. Thankful the killer is behind bars, though hardly was served justice.
Getting to have many best friends and loosing one, it cut me deep , I can't even count one for myself.
I'm from around there too. I'm so sorry. One of my coworkers were effected by this monster as well. Usually when you hear about this crazy stuff it's not so close to home, but this one was...
I’m from where this took place to. My aunt works at a bank and she did banking for him. She said that she would have never guessed he killed people.
in another video i've seen of Kala, one of the first things she mentioned to the officers was to not let the cadaver dogs into the field because todd had put pepper down to hurt their noses. In the worst situation of her life, she was still concerned with the wellbeing of others. Wish her nothing but the absolute best for the rest of her days
I'm also amazed at how clearly she told all of the information
What a strong and kind woman. I hope she's well now.
What a bad ass. 65 days of that and she still was a good person. Unbelievable.
That was soooo unbelievably nice of her. She didn't want the dogs to get pepper in their noses. It shows how kind she is and what an a$$hole Todd Kohlhepp is.
When you said "cadaver dogs" I thought of zombie dogs Resident Evil style.
My wife absolutely loves your videos, and thank you for your service!! And the guy that murdered our grandson was finely charged this week!!!!
Condolences...
thats an awful thing to have happened...
My condolences also. I'm so sorry that happened to your grandson. 😔
So sorry for your loss 😪
So sorry for your loss as well. 😢
His videos aint all what she loves
I really like how this guy can take a fairly well known story and put a different spin on it by approaching it from the victims perspective. It's always really well done.
I’ve watched Todd’s almost entire police interview and it is so disturbing. He talks to the detectives like they are his best friends. Horrifying truly.
I agree 💯% Idk if there still up, but did you read or listen to someone else read his Amazon reviews? I'd hope that they've been removed, because they were absolutely disgusting now knowing they were all genuine and true, the way he would crack jokes and try to be quirky.
What's almost worse is that it seems to work on the officers
Is there a video on RUclips of his police interview?
What’s his full channel name?
@@yetanotherrandomyoutubecha4382 lot of them are cut from the same cloth
As soon as I seen the trailer in the backdrop I knew exactly what the story was about. Ive listen to this story several times through different networks and TV shows . I think it's very important for me to acknowledge and say thank you MrBallen for telling the story without smearing the names of the victims. I like the fact that you indicated that they had drug problems and that they had offenses related to drug problems but you did not get into any great detail even when you said children services removed the child you did it in a way where it wasn't condescending or judgmental.
Thank you for telling us the story without slamming a couple for being drug addicts and as the court would say unfit parents because nobody no matter who you are does not deserve to be treated like this.
Storytelling with respect..👍
Agreed. Storytelling with Respect us the new black, as it should be
Thank you for saying this!
I never notice this but I agree. This is also the reason why MrBallens story telling is very unique and interesting. He will tell very unimportant details that will make the story way more interesting, even saying said person is turning left or right.
Great comment. I really think this is a key to Mr. Ballen's success and I hope he never forgets it. If the story is worth telling, let it be told. If the story is lacking and needs extra ad hominem attacks on the victims to make the cut, it doesn't make the cut. There are plenty of good stories out there. It's lazy to not find them. Mr. Ballen isn't lazy. ☮️❤️🌈 to you, my brother.
So the first 2 kinda deserved it is what you're saying?
Something I’ve noticed about these videos, is even when I’m totally familiar with the case, The way he tells them is so suspenseful and detailed, I usually don’t even realize it’s said case until near the end! The story format really makes them so much more interesting, and I don’t think there’s a better storyteller than MrBallen!
That dawning moment when you gasp realizing that you've heard this one and know where the story is going....
As a grieving mother of a recently murdered son in a domestic violence situation (yes, men can be victims too) , and other loved ones struggling with addiction, I am so grateful, that even though your stories are dark and heartbreaking of how people can be so evil, I am so grateful of you being empathetic to the victims. ♥
My deepest condolences! Losing your child in domestic violence is so horrible....may God comfort you 🙏❤️
@@lydiapetra1211 Thank you! Bless you as well.
I ate a brownie once
So sorry for your loss ♥
I am so sorry for your loss and anguish 😪

I discovered your channel back in November. Had a nasty motorcycle accident in early December and I've been home ever since. Your channel has been keeping me entertained and it helped me battle my PTSD. I am now addicted to the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format.
Merry Christmas to you, your family and everyone reading this!!

Thanks for focusing on the backgrounds and stories of the victims and not the perpetrator because they’re truly the important people in this story and they deserve to be respected.
We need more true-crime narrators that are this respectful and non-exploitive about the way they present this information. Thank you MrBallen.
@Brittany Wood you could have a point there, seeing as she’s a domestic abuser. I think there’s many questions in this case that still need to be answered but I was mainly speaking about the memories of the d*ceased victims when I commented. Thanks for the thought though, I will look into her more.
I only want to hear about the killer. He stands out. Forget about the nameless victims. There gone.
@@danfield6030 well that’s just straight up a horrible way to look at human beings and you’re clearly lacking basic human empathy so I know this won’t get through to you but holy shot you’re just objectively wrong here dude.
How are these victims nameless? They were human beings???
I think it’s interesting to understand the killer and what makes a person walk down that path in life. It’s insightful to understand that parenting and the environment we bring our children up in is extremely vital. It opens our eyes, as viewers, to how our choices effect people. That doesn’t mean we’re making excuses but it’s good to understand “how & why”.
@@mariac4127 Calm down. I love Jesus too, I'm just saying...ya know.
It's really sad and extremely unfair that Meagan and Johnny were pretty much just ignored and forgotten just because they were addicts! They were just as important as Kaila and her boyfriend. May they all rest in peace. And I hope that Meagan and Johnny's daughter can live a somewhat normal life even after loosing both their parents in such a horrific way.
THANK YOU!!!!
As a former addict, that occurred to me as well.
But they immediately looked for them? And there were no leads? What should they have done? As a sober of 8 years heroin addict you have no idea what people like us are capable of. No talking to your family for a weeks is the nicest of the things they’ve probably done. I feel awful for what happened to them. But the cops had no where else to go. And 99% of the time the addicts do not want to be found. Totally normal to assume they took the money and ran to get high?
I don’t understand the judicial system. How can a person confess to MORE murders and get LESS of a sentence?? Absolutely despicable.
otherwise there'd be no incentive for him to spill his guts and the police want to know about those other victims. bear in mind that they only agreed to take the death penalty off the table, he's still going to get several life sentences.
Doesn't that just mean that he gets a lighter sentence than if he denied everything? He doesn't get a lesser sentence than for ONE murder. But less than if the police had to figure it all out by themselves. Being cooperative also gets people earlier out of jail than their original sentences. Also, wouldn't most people rather get the death penalty than a life sentence without parole? Probably. Let him rot in there.
@Michael Lake We should give that promise to find the other victims but them put down the murderer anyway. In secret and silence of course so we could use the same tactic on future murderers too.
@@dickthegimp4280 That would be nice… But it would never fly and would just cause the officers to be locked up… We live in a different world now where everybody knows everything… We can’t just take them out in a field somewhere these days.
I thought the exact same thing. But other victims have families wanting closure too, so I can see why it's a viable tactic.
The worst part about this case is, while still inside the shipping container being rescued, Kayla starts rattling off everything she can against him, what he said, where the bodies are. It's like she was so desperate to get all the incriminating stuff out in front just to make sure it was said. She hadn't even left the box yet.
Poor thing sounds like she was in shock and just wanted to say what happened, as soon as someone was there to listen, out of fear that the rescue was just a dream or because she could have been afraid the murderer would show back up, catch everyone off guard, and kill them all. Fear is a crippling thing and I know how the victim feels because I was locked in a closet by one of my ex's for 13 days while he allowed his buddies to come in and do whatever they wanted to me and guess what, my ex used the very same threat that this murderer did. "If you tell anyone about any of this I will kill your mother."
Its sickening what human beings are capable of and it's even more disturbing when they are never charged for it.
@@carriesmith9627 … OMG, JUST HORRIBLE 👺😱‼️
@@vis9340 Words have not yet been created to describe my experience or the girl in the container. Though "horrible" is a good one to start with. I only hope she was rewarded as I was. I have been married to a wonderful man for 11 years, known him for 16 years, and he has treated me with nothing but unconditional love and understanding. A very large part of me believes that we are put through hell so that when heaven crosses our path, our eyes, mind, and heart are wide open and willing. YWilling to accept all their faults. Willing to give unconditional love. And most of all, willing to understand that no matter what you've been through, you are worthy of everything good that comes your way. :-]
@@carriesmith9627 ...i'm So Happy for You 👍❣️Me myself had/have many protection in my life, i just cannot fathom such HORRIBLE EVIL EXiSTING SITUATION(S) 😱‼️
@@vis9340 He was not the first to do something horrible to me, but he was/has been the only one to take it to such an unforgivable level.
As I said though, I now have my husband who is the only person that knows a little of what I've been through, beside my therapist, but he has been a big reason that I even trust people anymore. I couldn't be alone with anyone, even a doctor, without having a panic attack for several years after that. You could even say that my husband has been my knight in shining armor in a way. My light at the end of a very dark tunnel that I never thought I'd even escape, let alone live through. I have been divinely blessed with him and whatever the "higher power" I will meet after I pass from this life, I plan to thank him/her/them profusely for gifting me such a wonderful man, husband, and friend.🙂🥰
I admire the spirits of both women for different reasons. I admire Kala for doing whatever she had to do to keep her family alive, knowing her eventual fate was sealed. I admire Meagan for fighting so hard, it convinced a man who had every conceivable advantage over her that she was STILL too big of a risk for him. Both showed incredible bravery.
doing whatever it takes to survive no matter how repugnant that may be is always somewhat heroic
@@24get24give 100% agreed!
Great comment, love your heart to find admiration for people. Your a noble soul, God bless your heart! 😌
@superspoon I totally agree! Both women behaved admirably and bravely.
I wouldn't admire kala just yet. She had a sexual relationship with Todd for money, and lied to the police numerous times about her relationship with him.
There is some speculation that she even knew of his intentions to kill the boyfriend, hence why she convinced him to come along with her.
She has also had two other partners die under mysterious circumstances and has a history of domestic violence.
I’d watched a 48 hours video on this killer but it took me a while to realize this story was about the same killer because you focus on the victims, show us their faces, tell us what kinds of lives they led..etc. Now I’ll remember this as the Kala case and not the amazon review killer case.
I can’t say how much I appreciate when you’re telling these stories how you do it in a way that protects the dignity of the victims. Even just saying “he would do whatever he wanted to her” instead of discribing any kind of torture or SA is really respectful.
As a SA survivor, none of your stories trigger me. Your stories are horrifying, like I expected them to be, but never disrespectful.
Thank you

The way Mr. Ballen blew up so fast is crazy, I remember seeing his first video and being hooked immediately following him ever since watching every new upload. Ive never seen someone blow up so fast, he is so good at story telling he hooked everyone and now look at all his subscribers! Great job Ballen, although I miss the more frequent uploads from those days.
Thank you very much!!
And now we logon at exactly the moment the video drops and there’s already 500 comments. Hahaha
Yep☺️
You are a true MrBallen fan. I was subbed to MrBallen when he post 3-4 times a week.
Zoe Rosaleen Obviously, every youtuber does it for money, it’s literally their jobs, but the only way to succeed is to do it was a passion, and he definitely does that, so don’t go around insulting these people
The fact that he actually had to confess to the cops about 4 other unrelated murders he'd committed several years earlier speaks of just how easy it is to get away with murder and never be caught. Makes me wonder just how many other serial killers are out there who've got stories of their own to tell but who'll never be caught because they're keeping their lips sealed. Just chilling.
the old saying don't judge a book by it's cover but one look at that guy and the stranger danger alarm bells start ringing....
There is a statistic that there are as many as 2000 active serial killers operating in the US right now... Terrifying
If you murder your significant other, an acquaintance, a coworker, or anyone else you can be tied to directly, you almost certainly will be caught. That's why sociopaths who just enjoy killing target the marginalized.
@@joshuanicely8722 that just made me double-check my door locks. That’s terrifying.
@@HanaRose22 the motorcycle store murders are still actively debated in town. It just doesn’t fit his m.o. on the others that we KNOW he did. Honestly, I’d be much less surprised if we found other single/couple victims. He was a realtor and real estate developer. I personally think he may have confessed to the Superbikes murders because it made him kind of famous. That was a long-standing unsolved crime. I think we ought to plow up every piece of land he was “developing” because my bet is that he murdered a lot more young people. And also, that he didn’t do the Superbikes murders, just confessed for attention. Opinion.
I think what's additionally disturbing to note, is that Todd actually had a family of his own, a wife and son (I believe) who had no idea about any of his whereabouts. They new he had land that he went to often but they never knew he was a killer.
“I need an attorney”
Cop: “Prolly a good thing” (thinking to himself if this man says something out of line i might catch a murder charge too)
Right! Hes like this guy😡
As a resident of Spartanburg, where this happened, you can't imagine the chills this story still creates. I remember the cycle shop shootings and the periodic news stories about the investigation going nowhere year after year.... then all of this finally breaking with this psycho's capture.
Evil lives. Often it lives close by. Be careful out there folks.
How could they not have known? I still don't get it, weren't there no camera footage, witnesses? Someone must have heard the sound of the gun blaring, someone must've been passing by?
I live in Anderson 45 mins away. So this hits close to home
Yeah but when ppl mostly are pure soft then there nothing to worry about
You hear guns all the time out in the sticks. People hunt and have personal gun ranges. There's no way anyone could have known. What's even more amazing is they gave this monster a realtors license which gave him the financial means to do all of this while completely ignoring his violent background.
@@user-xr6lt7ed2p right

Merry Christmas Robert!🎄☃️
Thank you for covering this story. I live about 40 minutes from Spartanburg. It is so creepy to know that this guy was a realtor! Don’t ever go house hunting alone!
Honestly these days just dont do most things alone, that goes for everyone, no one is safe, creeps are getting more creative with traps, goin further, working together, some will even act in busy places
Scary world
Well.... in this story - don't go in pairs alone.
Alone AND/OR unarmed!!!
I have massive respect for those two women for different reasons and that is for Kala thinking about her family even tho she thought that her fate was sealed(luckily she survived) and for Megan for not making it easy for him even tho she was killed she put up one hell of a fight.
At least he is serving 7 life sentences.
What gets me is you only get one life. What's the point of 7 sentences. Yeah sure to make sure he doesn't get out but the whole concept is weird. He took other lives he only he has one to give but he lives it so its not equal at all.
@@myshepspud1 I have been wondering that myself for a long time for it would be quicker just to give them the death penalty and save tax payers dollars.
But since most states have gotten rid of the death penalty that is the only thing they could do and I still think that is stupid for that means that we are giving are tax dollars in order to house these criminals.
I remember that well. Lived close enough to watch the helicopters flying over his property from my porch. A year or two after this he actually tried to sue the prison (or the state) for the poor living conditions of his cell! Something like it being too cold, after locking up an innocent woman in a shipping container in August in the south. I'm still pissed that we're paying to keep him alive.
Right?!?!
I also live in the area, remember hearing about his ridiculous complaints in prison. You are absolutely right - It was shocking enough to discover a serial killer in our little corner of the upstate, then he thinks he deserves better treatment than being chained in a metal storage container during the hottest part of the summer? We get all of the seasons here, which is one of the things that make it so great here but damn, it gets hot at the end of July-August. Screw that guy. I hope someone takes care of him in prison. Though the irony is that he is in South Carolina and may be the worst or at least one of the worst offenders at that prison right now.
Narcissistic psychopath
Fr like can we get him put in general population? A little prison justice is due
@Dani O that’s actually a brilliant scheme! 💕🇦🇺 and the best part is that not only is it a deterrent to scumbag prisoners trying to cheat the system even after being convicted and put into custody (which is seemingly REALLY difficult to be THAT much of a criminal offender that you’re actually given a sentence with incarceration there because of their somewhat comparatively overly lenient judicial sentencing standards) but it also helps guarantee that the focus remains on the importance of the victim in the situation as opposed to it being twisted into being all about the perpetrator as sadly often happens.
You are also paid by others to live.
Guys like this are why I'll always worry about my kids well into adulthood. You just never know what's behind someone's eyes and cannot prepare for something of this magnitude.
What a horrific ordeal for those young couples.
Yeah he took advantage of people that were at a low point in their lives.
@@twovirginiacats3753 those poor bastards at the beginning definitely. The judicial system shouldn't be enabling putting drug addicts behind bars. That's pretty fucked up. Addiction is a mental disorder, they need help, not jail time. There's people in there that have been in for rape, murder, assault, etc those are the people we should be locking up. But prisons make a lot of money so people should just be allowed their rights taken from them. Fuck this country.
Wow, this one is horrifying and devastatingly sad. I love how the woman from the first couple he locked in the trailer “fought back like a wild animal.” She’s a hero.
Exactly!!
That poor chained up girl is a hero too for having to do what she could to stay alive, which in turn stopped this horrible demon. That includes sexual abuse from this pig. 😝😠😠

@@vis9340 she still neglected her child so shes not a hero
I love how sympathetic he makes their plight. So many would have made them villains for their addictions instead of victims.
Most people are heartless scum, even though they think they are virtuous. It's horrible that we've gotten to the stage where to hate another person (e.g. a drug user) is considered to be a mark of a good, proper person. People are cruel. They are horrible. I see them on Facebook saying things like "All drug users should be rounded up and shot - that'd fix the problem"... 17,000 likes. It's just awful. I despair. I would cry but what's the point.
We should hold our heads in shame as a society for falling for that propaganda! This is why serial killers pick prostitutes because we have deemed them unworthy of sympathy. I wish people could see that alcohol is the worst drug but we celebrate the consumption and what a hypocrisy that is.
I been smoking meth daily for 3 years. Can't function without it at all.
All I really do is go to work, sleep, walk my dog, and watch RUclips lol.
I often wonder how many other normal people are on drugs.
SO CALLED MAN IS ACTUALLY A PIECE OF GARBAGE 🤮
I only know very old people who never had exposure to drugs or people who do them outside of maybe a run-in with some criminal type or on TV/news, who do much of that. Most people understand addictions are very bad, but also are something out of the user's control. Not all, but most. The only situation in which I am not sympathetic to those who die is when they are perpetrating the violence and typically killed in self defense... in which case it's deserved.
I've done a lot of drugs in the past, so it goes without saying I don't demonize the people who do them, but they are bad and you can't really blame people for overreacting when they have no knowledge of them, side from the massive harm that they can cause when addiction comes into play. I'm sympathetic to both parties - they aren't doing it from a place of hatred, usually, they are doing it from a lack of understanding, and the understanding that people are doing something everyone knows to be bad / harmful, knowingly. Both sides are understandable and relatable.
What really annoyed me in this one was that the Police got word of Meagan and Johnny being missing 3 days after their disappearance and even though I thought they were probably dead, I still felt like Police had to search the place on John's property where they were assigned to work. Especially if he was the last person to see them. You've still got to verify that. And it really annoyed me even more after that to hear that Meagan was still alive 5 days after she went missing so had they searched there, they would have saved her life as well as Charlie' and Kala's ordeal would not have happened. I know there are search warrants etc but it seems like the police were gullible and didn't try hard enough. It's so simple to verify. Even if they asked him if they could take a look on his property. If Todd said yes then great, they could have found Meagan and if not, he was probably hiding something
You're absolutely right about that. The police were partly to blame for the latter killing and kidnapping. I don't understand why they sometimes take things lightly and I wish they learned a valuable lesson from this story
I get what you mean, but police can’t just search private property without consent, a warrant, or reasonable cause. Suspicions aren’t enough
I agree 100% with you
Agreed. It seems like a case where class is the motivation. The first couple were known addicts and had an arrest history so it’s fine to wait a couple of weeks or months rather than looking into the last place they were known to be and the last person who saw them. The second couple had a good reputation so action was taken quickly. It’s just sad and frustrating how marginalized people don’t get the same attention.
@@ramdingaliana9711 it's obvious, they were drug users, "criminals", and very poor. The next victims were well off and white. Who do you think the police are going to actively search for?
The scariest thing about this whole story is that my daughter worked at some very popular Italian restaurants and she would come home and tell me stories about these men who, after becoming regular customers of hers, would start offering her these different types of odd jobs and a chance to make some extra cash. But these jobs were always very shady, like going on a road trip for his business, or work he needed done around his house. The last one, and scariest one she told me about, was that this guy wanted her to go with him on road trip, but this time it would be out-of-town and overnight in a hotel then driving back. In the beginning she thought that some of these offers sounded pretty good, but thankfully I raised her with enough intelligence to see past the money and take a good look at where one of these “road trips” would eventually take her! It’s a very scary world out there MrBallen, so keep your stories coming!
They busted a group of 14 year old girls being held in motels by human traffickers, they lured the girls with the promise of shopping trips😵💫
If I ever die in a strange, dark, or mysterious way, I am making it very well known that NO ONE but this guy is to EVER tell my story.
For me, it's Eleanor Neale. If my case gets solved, she's got it.
I’m adding it to my will, lol, ok Mr. Ballen?
Adding him to my will as well 😆
@@meariijenkins7205 it seems like he's about to be in a lot of wills
My sister and I even have a term called "ballened" that we use everytime one of us would go somewhere. We would say "be careful on your trip or you will be ballened". It is a short term for us saying "be careful on your trip or mrballen will narrate your story."
A refreshing part of Ballen's story telling technique is his empathy for the people in his stories. Even when characters make bad choices that tempt fate, he refrains from the easy judgment or mockery that is the stock and trade of so much of social media. He helps us to see ourselves in these stories and the fragility of our own lives.
And that he doesn't insert his own opinions into the videos every 2 minutes or go on 5 minute long rants about how disgusting he thinks some of the people he talks about are. I can't watch youtubers who do that. Like, we already know this criminal/abuser/pedo/whatever you're talking about is a piece of scum. You don't need to remind us of that every two seconds. Just get to the facts about the case and shut up about your own personal opinions, which are the same as everyone else's anyway.
So true
I'll admit I think of many people as dumbasses. Like the many that die by their own literal naiveity. Or lack of information that could have prevented their death and not claim ignorance. But sometimes I don't want to judge but I really can't help it but say sometimes people aren't naive or ignorant they are literally stupid no matter how smart they are because theyre book smart but not a single ounce of common sense inside of their big human brain of theirs for some reason.
So true!!
Except for at the end of the video where he says “Please draw a gun on the like button” 😂
If anybody else from around here might remember, my good friend/ex was murdered on her way back to school and to this day it still remains unsolved!! She was the sweetest person ever... her name was Tammy Zywicki. Her case was on unsolved mysteries and Still Nothing! Makes me sick and beyond mad that nobody was caught!!!!!!
Yeah, she was killed on an interstate when going to college (Grinnell, if my memory serves me correctly) around 1992/1993. They found her car, then her body later, but never found the killer. Did a news journal for my 5th grade class about her, so still recall.
@@whatthree16 she was kidnapped from the interstate. She had car trouble and was last seen talking to a man driving a semi truck.. it still drives me crazy that nobody was ever arrested and convicted!
I was born and raised in Spartanburg, SC. I live in Pensacola, FL now. My grandmother lived a mile away from Todd Kolhepp. A friend lived in the same neighborhood as him. Another friend bought a house through him. There is so much more that isn’t told here. These weren’t his only crimes. He was a MONSTER!!!
I'm an EMT. There's also a video out there of Kayla in the back of the ambulance talking about what happened to her, and it sticks with me. This story is one of the reasons I stay in EMS- as much as I don't want to go on a call like this, I've talked to others that have, and I want to be able to help someone get out of this kind of terrifying situation.
Thank you for what u do
I agree with the other reply. Thank you! Hopefully you never have to deal with something like this, but it's people like you who matter when stuff like this does happen
It's funny to imagine an EMT with a profile picture of Shrek
Yeah for real thank you. I was a soldier and seen some bad stuff. Just in that year saying that stuff affected me for the rest of my life. I have a lot of respect for you guys then endure that everyday so if you can get up there and help people that are hurt. God loves Medics
my dad was an EMT and told me it was one job he would never let me do because of what he saw. you're much stronger than me, and I know you realize how important what you do is.
A rare survivor story, perfectly presented for the day. Well done as ever Mr. B.
A story where police open a box and find a present (a survivor). Perfect fit for Christmas in a very strange, dark, and mysterious way!
Mhm
7 dead and 1 survivor. Very uplifting?.
It’s crazy to think people like todd exist. It almost makes me scared to live in the public and even deal with people. People like that are good at hiding it.
Also, I'm a former military veteran serving during the war in Vietnam. I served in South Korea and Italy. I enjoy your storytelling. You do a fantastic job and keep them coming.
When did you serve in Italy?
Thanks for your service!😊
Want to be even more disturbed by this case? Watch the interview with Kholhepp's mother. Not only does she insist he's not a monster, she says it was the victims' fault. They shouldn't have upset and angered her son. "How else did the victims think her son would react" level of crazy.
Like they say," the apple never falls far from the tree".
She should be thrown in jail for birthing the turd.

I love that when you tell a story you also use your hands ! Your the best story teller I have ever listened to!
I only recently started watching. I love crime documentaries. This is by far the best page I have come on to. It's detailed, yet straight to the point. No unnecessary chit chat or irrelevant detail. I love it!
You know, I find it a bit upsetting that I have heard this story on multiple RUclips channels and not 1 even mentioned the couple prior to the next couple.
Apparently if you do drugs and are lost, youre not worth mentioning....Really makes it seem like little effort even went into this story on other channels.
Thanks for the vid, excellent as always.
Nobody seems to do it better than Mr. Ballen! 🥰 That is indisputable fact. Many others try but are so lame at it they should just get a job! 🤣
Tears gow u arrest poor people who can't pay bail no family structure so in and out of probation.
Having had far too much contact with addicts I can testify that most of the time, no, they’re not worth mentioning. They’re not credible witnesses, or most of the time even decent people.
@@ananonymoushen4339 Also have had alot of contact with addicts in the past, and I agree with you. It is sad that they are ruining their lives, but I can't feel bad for them because most of the time they put themselves in that position and blame everyone else. It's like they don't stop and think that they are destroying their lives and most likely hurting everyone around them in the process. It is very unfortunate that these two were killed by a murderer, but like I said I just can not feel bad for someone who is basically killing themselves with their own choices.
Edit: Just felt like I should add, I do feel extremely bad for their families, I'm not sure how involved they were with their children but losing a child is something no one should ever have to go through, it is just the addicts I have no respect or feelings for.
@@ananonymoushen4339 What a staggeringly ignorant comment. There are millions of nice, decent people that are addicted to various substances, there are also millions of utterly sub-human, lying, vicious scum that live lives of complete sobriety. If the second couple had of been opiate addicts, would it have made the girls rescue less satisfying to you than that of the rescue a sobre child molester?
I knew exactly which case this was going to be as soon as I saw the title, but MrBallen's unmatched storytelling skills kept me watching all the way through anyway. Absolutely bone-chilling and sickening.
This was really a sick one. Thank you!

Kayla and i are both in a survivors group online and while I won't delve into her personal business I WILL say that miss Kayla is a force to be reckoned with and she's turned a tragedy and real life nightmare into a way to bring awareness to others... she's a WARRIOR in every way...

I love how you tell these stories, it’s like you are talking to me and not just a camera, you really deserve a tv show.
I'm not as much of a fan of true crime as the other content on this channel, but this was an exemplary case of how to cover a horribly violent case in a way that's not exploitative/graphic and is respectful of the victims. This does help it to be less traumatizing for survivors like me to listen to. Thank you!
This man is so well spoken. Tells a detailed story better than anyone and has worked hard his whole life. Hats off to you mr ballen, you deserve every bit of success in your life
YESSIR
He’s got an excellent, inviting cadence is what it is 🥰🤤
I know his emphatic gestures are perfect!!
Have you heard his diving stories. He explains what happened so detailed
Talks from the heart that's why it works so well...not too much rehearsal reading needed I imagine he just gets the drift off the story take it in and can just replay it from his heart or soul or whatever you wanna say ..its natural if you get my drift the feeling just matches with his words easily...thats why it seems so organic
I'm from SC. I have no true connection with any of the victims, but one of the victims in the bike shop was the son-in-law of the doctor I worked for. I just know how his murder affected their whole family. I'm just glad they have some closure now. Thanks for telling the story.
So sorry for you lost :(( *Hugs*
Stomping around a bathroom: a mental image I revisit, from time to time. Thank you, Mr Ballen!
About 10 years ago and as a second income, my husband and I had a tractor mowing service. I can't tell you how many times we were hired to go brush hog properties out in the middle of nowhere! Never once did I fear something like this could/would happen. Thank goodness we no longer do this type of work....after watching this....my trust in humanity is shaken!
People lock their doors at night because people are untrustworthy. God destroyed the world with a flood before, beause mankind deserves death. The next flood is of fire.

The footage of Kala being discovered is available almost anywhere, I saw it years ago. You can almost feel how hopeless she felt, she didn’t even react when they said they were police, she was truly broken and waiting for the next time she was gonna be tortured. Kala fought but in the end she was broken beyond repair, I can’t imagine going through a tenth of what she did.
Thanks to her a horrible monster is in jail and cases have been solved, unfortunately that won’t repair her mental state
I hope she is not beyond repair but yeah, how on earth do you get back to a "normal" life after something like this? I hope nothing but peace, love and good things come her way for the rest of her life.
No one is beyond repair Slavery didn’t destroy black people instead they kept on fighting until they freed themselves from the hands of their oppressors .
Just imagine that. You expect hell for ages and ages and then death. It would break 99% ofpeople
Watched it on youtube years ago. RUclips back then were flooded with these kinds of videos.
Humans aren't dolls - victims of abuse AREN'T broken beyond repair.
Plenty of examples out there in world of women surviving and haveing happy life...
This guy is broken beyond repair not her...
I remember watching that whole case on television. Frightening what one person can do to another person. Great storytelling as usual ❤
This story is horrific. I can't imagine what Kala went through out there.
I live right near this. After it all happened, I rode to see where this was...so so much land. It instantly gave me the creeps knowing what when on there. After seeing all the property, I am not convinced there isn't more bodies on that land. He would have totally gotten away w the motor bike murders had he not spoke of it.. You did a great job covering this! Merry Christmas!
I wonder if they ever left cadaver dogs search that property?
I live in sparkle city too
Crazy.... he did the motorbike store killings too
Hi what’s up
I served him at a Cracker Barrel in Anderson 😭😭
bro thats crazy cuz i live 10 min from there and ive snuck on that property a few years back so i probably seen your house lmaoo
To me the most amazing part is how Kayla starts saying everything that happened to her within seconds of being released, still handcuffed. You can see in the full video that she didn't hesitate a second, while others would be in shock of too traumatized to speak, she went full acusation mode. What a strong woman
I mean, she could've gone pretty far in the Seven stages of mourning. Maybe this was a really good timing to let her talk. Either way, very strong indeed!

Dude your so awesome at telling true crime and mystery. I’ve heard majority of the true crime stories from other Influencers BUT I don’t mind listening to it again from you because OMG! Your amazing. So my questions:
Why real life story telling?
How did you get into this?
Did you go to college for writing,journalism,public speaking,etc?
When and how did you start(at home telling friends & family,hit record one day,etc)
I recently discover this channel.Amazing stories.I can't stop listening.👍👍
So weird to hear cases from your state in the county you were a 911 operator in. I was working the day they found her. You did great covering this!
I've been curious but never found anyone to ask this, is being a 911 operator super stressful, but also rewarding? Or is it much more mentally harming and stressful? I've only heard replayed audio, and some are just heart wrenching.
Also I can understand that depending on the state/county there could be a big difference.
As a former L.E.O. in another state, we read this story and discussed it during in service training.
@@jimathy96 It definitely depends on where you are working. Spartanburg county is pretty notorious for its crime rate and having crazy things constantly happening. I did it for 4 years and I loved it. It’s both stressful and rewarding. I probably would still be doing it today but I moved states recently. And I would say it could be mentally harming depending on the person. Some people can process things better than others.
Yes! I too live in SC, have a good friend who lives in Spartanburg 😳🤯
The police interview with this guy is truly chilling. He is a straight up psychopath and is so proud of what he's done. The detective does a pretty good job of playing buddies with him and stoking his ego in order to get as much information out of him as possible... I had to keep reminding myself that he was only acting and wasn't actually his friend because the light-heartedness of much of the interview had my blood boiling.
Most serial killers are… it’s grotesque and disgusting. Thankfully, most eventually do get what they deserve .
I’ve seen the interrogation/confession tape on a few other YT pages. He’s truly a narcissist thru and thru 💯

Living in South Carolina and working in Law Enforcement for the state, I have personally met Mr. Kholhepp. Both times being during interviews where he is currently housed. He actually comes off as normal and will happily talk to police. The craziest and scariest part about him is that he has a fan base..... and this fan base is people that are not in prison.... Beware people.... you never really know who is standing next to you!!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Kinda seems like the federal justice system should be focusing on his fan base, as well as others, instead of on parents who are caring enough to attend school board meetings. Just my opinion though. I hope that our sheriff doesn't blame himself, in any way, for this to have happened here. Kinda got that feeling by the way he teared up on camera. No sane person could have done anything to prevent it. He, and his department put an end to it. That's EVERYTHING they could have done.
@@jbllc3085 Agreed
I believe that Kohlhepp is a very manipulate individual that knows how to coax people into situations that ultimately lead to their demise. I do find some of the facts of the case to be odd but that is life. Truth is always stranger than fiction.
why is it always the one who looks normal
I went to high school with her and I feel so bad for her. That dude not only did that to her but also killed many others including a family just working their business because he thought they were laughing at him. Absolute monster.
So glad he was caught. This is horrific.
Here is a cool reason/true story on why you should pump out more units(kid): ‘’It is a sad day as I watch grown people shove their parents into the grave to take their spoils. have watched my cousins kill their parents early by running up their credit, mortgaging their homes, and then having the morphine pumped in them and even one of my cousins even told his mom that she would die today, as he gave permission for the morphine.
She had a trake down her throat,s o she could not defend herself, but when he told her that… she looked at me and mom as her eyes got big as silver dollars with fear… my other cousin shoved her mom in a back bedroom for two years and gambled her 2400 a month away. My aunt finally got hold of a phone and called 911… and finally got out of her daughters hell… but then the hospess dropped her and broke her legs and hip and they finished her off with morphine.
My other aunt died with liver cancer as her kids fought over her funeral money, as they told her to go on and die.
My uncle had a son on crack that pushed him on in the box and these siblings all fell in one years time. Now my siblings are trying to push my mom in the box to get at her money and the sad thing is my mom knows it. I have tried to keep my two sisters off of my mom but they are constantly calling her and demanding that my mom buys them a house so they can leave their husbands. And my hands are tied. My ex and children robbed me a few years back so i know what’s going on but my hands are tied. This is a sad day that we have come to. My mom would fair out better if she had less money but the vultures are swarming. This is so sad and my sisters were raised better.‘’
Please make as many children as possible, the pharmaceutical industry, the prison industry and the military industrial complex need more clients(kids), while society needs more: fascists, totalitarian single digit IQ nobodies, communists, marxists, bolsheviks, leninists, SJWs, BLMs, socialists, mercenaries, welfare/benefit queens/kings, cartel members, starving people, broken homes, broken/broke/bankrupt people from all points of views, hitmen, hitwomen, murderers, witches/warlocks that curse children and adults, murderers wearing uniforms-badges/suits-ties/white coats-stethoscopes, abused, abusers/users, drunkards, drug addicts, drug dealers, alcoholics, homeless, gang/mafia members, suicide victims, bullies, bullied, torturers, tortured, mentally and physically handicapped, orphans, people for organ harvesting and trafficking, single mother victims, dead soldiers, racist group gang members. Hell also needs more residents. Also, the banks need more people in debt and the workforce needs more slaves to participate in the rat race as well.
There are a million statistics showing how single mothers are a scourge on humanity. Don’t perpetuate this cycle of single mothers raising single mothers and boys who end up in prison. Think of the misery you will be causing to an innocent child. While the potential is there to make barren couples happy, there is also the likelihood that you will be enabling a single mother to ruin another child. YOUR child.
As long as the government is fighting unwinnable wars, they will need bodies. Paying single moms to spit out children (through government welfare) while discouraging abortions is going to create more single mothers in poverty; Uncle Sam is hoping the men end up in the military while the women become knocked-up single moms just like their mothers did. If the men turn out to be useless, they can always be part of the industrial prison complex instead.

Was it true that he was supposed to be pretty good friends with one of the men from the shop? I have always heard that.

I've binged a lot of the playlists on this channel. So it's getting harder by the day to find the videos that I *haven't* watched yet, like this one.
As someone that lived in Spartanburg county & drove by the Woodruff property for work daily (where Kayla was kept), I felt a pit in my stomach when the news broke. I know there was nothing I could have done to have known, but it had me sick to my stomach. Pretty much the entire town was in shock. The only good to come of this was really the fact that the SuperBike murders were finally solved as well.
My wife died May 24 of last year. It has been a struggle for our beautiful 10 year old son and I. Especially during the holidays.

I live not far from where this happened. It was crazy knowing a serial killer was this close... ughh. That poor girl testified against him. So good for her.
One of my good friends from high school turned out to be a serial killer. The last time we spent time together was at the end of summer after graduation, we went on a midnight motorcycle ride and went swimming in the river. I still can't believe it to this day. We lost touch after that (this was the 80's, way before it was easy to keep in touch through cell phones and social media). He had a horrible childhood though. I think sometimes serial killers are made.
Hey MrBallen I actually live about 20 minutes maybe less away from where all this took place and the interrogation footage of this man explaining what happened and how he did what he did was even more shocking than the story itself how charismatic he was about telling his story and how proud he was of himself doing so and being how very close to where me and my family live makes it even crazier to think how much we really know about the people who may live right next door to you. I recently subscribed to your channel and have been watching your content non stop I'm very intrigued with the stories you come across and share and how you tell it. Also want to thank you for your service bro and keep up the awesome content you share.
What sort of criminal would want to SKIP OUT on a Mr. Ballen video!
This story and footage are heartbreaking. Glad he was caught who knows how many more possible victims there could have been. He is a monster.
You are correct but you say it like nothing like this has ever happened before.
The US in particular has anywhere from 50-75 monsters just like him active across the country on average. All these active serial killers are complete unknowns other than their crimes. Law enforcement in this country is incompetent at best, conspirators at worst.
We even the distinction of having the highest number of police officers that commit murder and the highest number of officers that are serial. Those are just the ones we know about.
Until this changes more and more of these monsters are going to make Todd seem mild at his worst.
@@chrisbennett6236 Oh yes of course . He is just one monster. I read about crime and serial killers etc . It's nothing new .

It's just a shame he didn't fry for his actions or at least leave him with his victims family for 2 minutes armed with guns
@@Jabarri74 Punishment is not enough with our justice system . But not getting in that touchy subject.
I lived 10 minutes up the road from the motorcycle shop back when the murders happened. It was a big deal for the area and was really good to see the case solved after so many years.
I am curious though: how the heck does someone walk into a bike shop in the middle of the day, execute four people and just walk away without leaving ANY leads for the police? Was Toddy-boy really "that good" or are the local cops just that inept or is the bike shop in the middle of nowhere or what? Serious question; would love to hear your thoughts.
@@Boogiewalker Police were pretty inept. Yes, he used gloves when loading the magazines, but why the hell would he use a semi-auto and leave casings everywhere if he was trying to hide it, and a 9 millimeter (requiring more shots on average to kill than a higher caliber) at that? Also, two of the people he shot unfortunately ran away when they could have probably disarmed him considering how close they were.
@@jiena____6464 why?
@@Boogiewalker Also I’m pretty sure the bike shop is in the middle of nowhere. You should hear the way he brags about it during his interrogation. Imagine being that small of a man that you think it’s impressive to shoot unarmed people that aren’t defending themselves. The epitome of pathetic
@@Boogiewalker Probably a lot of factors. Chesnee isn't a big place and crimes like this almost never occur. I'm sure nearby Spartanburg stepped in for the heavy lifting. I believe Kohlhepp returned after letting it fester and was prepared. It wasn't a snap decision. There was very little evidence leading to anyone but if I recall correctly they found an invoice with his information and followed up with him during the initial investigation and it didn't go anywhere and he was never a suspect. It was an odd case. I lived just over the NC state line and regularly went into Chesnee SC to fuel up because gas was cheaper at the time and would always see the flyers the family put up at the stores requesting info to solve the case.
Love your stories. The way you tell them it bring them back to life!
I love your story telling. Truth is often stranger then fiction ❤️
It is scary to know there are people like him out there and you could see him and not even think for a second he was dangerous. Glad that the one girl got away and could tell on him. Makes a person a little more aware of being careful out there.
I still can't believe the report he did on the one woman who was kidnapped, raped, had her forearm chopped off, stabbed multiple times, kicked off a raised road into a ditch and left for dead....and the man only received a 10 year sentence. When he got out he murdered again.
I JUST told my husband this. It is freaking scary that you're possibly interacting with these kind of people everyday! 😳
Don't warry, people like him suffer everyday more than hes victims will every suffer, you migth not see it but they do when know one is looking, that is way he is so over chill about it, he is faking to prove that he doesn't feel anything, he clearly does. People do horrible things but it catches up to them, might not be today but it does. Why do you think killers do things like mark they victims collect a trophy, if you think they do it to remember them your wrong, you don't forget it.
They do it because they want someone to stop them, but in the same time they don't want it, human brain works in complex way, but patterns and facts are just that.
Sorry for the long ass message but don't be scared its like seeing a lion, its super rare
I work with the south african defense force.
And we catch some nasty people, only differences is they kill hundreds of people, terrorists.
Sometimes we have to let them go but sometimes we have some fun with them.
But trust me when i say this i watch alot of bad people when they think no one is watching.
They feel it.
You get 3 kind of evil in the world. True evil. When people like seeing people suffer, and they love inflicted pain or mess someones life up
The kind of evil that makes you believe you doing it for the better of human kind.
And then those who kill because they either can't stop because of pain in their past and that is when they feel something. Like revenge.
Or because they can't stop because they felt so powerless when they catch a victim they feel power.
Now power is one of the most strongest reasons to do something. It feels amazing.
But these things always have a tell.
First you have to form a gut to watch these kinds of people. So its becomes a gut feeling. / because some is good by hiding theirs demons but if you look at the ones that aren't, you get good at spotting those who are good.
Secondly is just practice.
So fo your self a favor.
Go in list in the army, any kind of department that repair the world because these people is the few.
The good people are the many.
And if al the good people turn into people who gad enough of being sheeps. The bad will die of real quick.
My captain like to say the more sheep there are the more wolves will appear.
Meaning the more soft people their are the more bad people will try to take advantage of them.
They've got a vibe they can't hide my friend, red flags you'll 100% pick up on if you either are similar to them or learned enough to understand them.
The terrifying part is...there's certainly many more like him out there that never get caught.
I’ve heard about this story, this is probably one of the most tragic and heartbreaking stories I’ve listened to. I send my deepest condolences to the victims’ families…
I swear he has done this story a year or two ago.
This one really did it for me like wtf..
@@voldem0rt I was thinking he has dine rhis story before as well
Hm I might have to check that out
Dayum. This one to me is probably the most horrifying you've posted. You're coming up with really good ones. Thanks for the new post, as always.❤
You are extremely good with describing events....well done and thank you....
So for those not familiar with Todd's story... he bought a bike from the motorcycle shop 2 weeks earlier or so... he tried returning it because he couldn't ride it. They wouldn't just take it back so he murdered them all.
That's only half of the story. According to him, they also made fun of him of being too fat to ride the bike.
@@jitttttt and it's all hearsay from the murderer himself.. like he did all the embellishing he thought the story needed to make himself justifiable and that's as he tells it.
The truth is most probably worse. He paints himself the victim of body shaming hut they might not even have said anything and his paranoia is what drove him to murder the shop workers
People like this convince me how legally sane people need to train and know how to use a handgun and why concealed carry is necessary. Save our 2nd amendment rights. Look what has happened in every country where the citizens were disarmed. Genocide
@@waltirvin2979 idk mate doing pretty well here in Australia with a lot less deaths because we don’t give every dickhead a gun
@@waltirvin2979 Where are these countries where citizens were "disarmed"? Concealed carry would not have saved anyone in this scenario, the guy had the drop, it was too late to go for a gun.
There is no limit to man’s depravity. It is scary to realize how many of these stories are out there, yet to be discovered; even more disturbing to realize how many will go on, undetected.
There's a lot of people out there who are undiagnosed sociopaths with simmering hatred and disdain for others just below the surface of their fake smile that are either waiting to have a reason to murder or already have and we just don't know.
Imagine how many times have you come across murderers on the street without knowing it.
Moreover, based on this story, how easily it seems, getting away with murder. And people wonder why I won't trust ANYONE.
@Will that would leave people with more weapons and more murders.
@@nmbycgamingg How are you still saying that, when the data is easily verifiable, that the areas with the strictest gun laws in the US have the most gun deaths?
You are an awesome storyteller, Mr Ballen!
I remember this! I live 15 to 20 minutes from where it happened. The police where very discreet about the survivor and her identity.
This was so close to my hometown… And when he was caught and everyone found out what he had done, it was the most terrifying thing to know I was living so close to a serial killer!
Oh my gosh I bet!!
Wow u are alive tho thank God
Same, I remember this happening
@@ArrowMaster_ I’m so glad I am alive and thank goodness I never ran into him.. I feel so bad for the ones who were killed by him… but if he would have gotten me, I would be on The MrBallen Show. 🙌 whoop whoop lol
Stuff like this can happen anywhere. We all think we're safe, but reality is there are a lot of nuts out there!
Mr Ballen, thank you for not judging these young adults because of their drug addictions. I was an addict for 25 years and am about two weeks shy of being one year clean. One thing addicts don’t ever need is judged. Believe me when I say that no one can make us feel as bad about our decisions as we make ourselves feel. It’s really sad that these two lives were taken as if they never mattered. I’ve watched pretty much everything on this particular serial killer and he really gloats about those he has killed. I would like to personally ship this pos to Hell!
One year! Good for you. It’s a hard road but I believe you can do it. My son is seven years sober and in a much better place now. It does get easier but it is never easy. Stay strong! Happy Holidays
i hope u do well @Screaming Tima,it's just sad for the first 2 victims they want to change their life to be better but instead they got killed by this maniac (sorry for my bad english)
I'm now clean longer than I did dope, it's worth the struggle! Dr. Gabor Mate' has great vids & books for anybody addicted, clean or cares about addiction. Best to you friend!
A whole year clean is very difficult I applauld you for this
Congrats on your sobriety! That's a huge accomplishment 😊
Love your content bro. I love learning stuff
I know this story very well. My uncle actually sold the land to Todd. He said he was strange when he spoke to him but he didn’t think he would ever be capable of what he did.
Very close to 5 million subs. Man I'm just so happy for you. Some of the most consistently best contents on a regular basis.
I appreciate that!!
Oh he is too. When he hits 5 mil it will be well deserved!
I am being 100% sincere and honest MrBallen. You are one of the best parts of 2021. It's been a rough year with too many family deaths. It's nice to just listen to your stories and forget what's going on around me. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
What's going on around you is what his videos are about. It's nice? That's a little strange.
Hello MrBallen I really love your stories and I listen all. day at work as well as when I am cooking your stories are super interesting to listen to. You keep me occupied and it’s almost just like watching a mystery or scary movie as you are very informational and detailed I was wondering about you doing a story about the 42 students that went missing in Mexico 🇲🇽 on September 26 2014 those students 😢were never found . 😢😢 Just a request it would be nice as always thank you and I look forward to your upcoming videos
OMG!! I live in a small town in Spartanburg SC and remember this very well and the Superbike Shop killings were not solved for years and that shop is only a couple miles from my house, so it was a great burden lifted for the family’s of those employees that he killed to finally have closure. Thanks for the story. You were right on point with the telling!!
