Deputies heard someone banging from inside the shipping container and found Kayla chained by the neck.

1. True Crime Podcast 2025 - REAL Police Interrogations, 911 Calls, True Police Stories and True Crime examines the Todd Kohlhepp case and the disappearance of Kayla Brown and Charles David Carver. 2. The narrative centers on police, Kayla Brown, Charles David Carver, and Todd Kohlhepp, whose taped confession and property search drive the investigation. 3. The episode asks how investigators connected Facebook activity, phone pings, and a 95-acre property to a kidnapping and murder case. 4. On August 31, 2016, Kayla Brown and Charles David Carver went to Todd’s property for a brush-clearing job after Kayla said she knew a real estate broker who had work. 5. Todd told Kayla and Charles to wait outside while he went into a garage, and the narration says those were the last quiet moments before the couple disappeared. 6. Friends and family reported both people missing after calls and texts went unanswered, and Kayla’s apartment was found with the dog inside and no food or water. 7. Charles’s Facebook account then began posting claims that he and Kayla were expecting a child, had bought a house, and were married. 8. Those posts also included lines about digging holes, sword violence, and the final lyrics from The Eagles’ “Hotel California.” 9. The account later replied to friends with messages such as “Kayla is with her husband, Charlie” and “I’m just missing to everyone else.” 10. The episode says police later concluded Todd was using the account to confuse friends, buy time, and provoke attention. 11. Todd is described as cocky and attention-seeking, with the narration arguing that he liked praise and wanted control over how others saw him. 12. Police later found that the missing couple’s phones last pinged on Todd’s property, which pointed investigators directly to the garage and shipping container. 13. When deputies searched the garage, they found shackles and then heard banging from inside the container, where Kayla was trapped. 14. Kayla was chained by the neck, ankles, and hands and kept in the container most of the day, with two short periods when Todd removed her for sex acts. 15. During the rescue, Kayla identified Todd and said he shot Charles David Carver three times in the chest before putting him in a blue tarp. 16. The episode later describes Todd’s Amazon reviews, including a lock review about “five on a shipping container” and a fixed-blade review that says, “Haven’t stabbed anyone yet.” 17. Todd’s recorded statements are presented in a clipped, guarded style, and the tone mixes interrogation, narration, and direct audio from the search. 18. The pacing is tense and forensic, with repeated focus on Facebook messages, warrant work, and the moment officers pry open the container. 19. People interested in true-crime interrogations and digital evidence. 20. People wanting a light or spoiler-free crime story.

As heard by us

A grim interrogation case where ordinary objects sharpen the pressure.

This is less a tidy crime recap than an interview that keeps pulling a suspect's account apart. The questions move through consent, kidnapping, and the domestic details around the relationship, so the story starts to feel less like a headline and more like a room slowly closing…
