The Amazon Review Killer - True Crime Recaps

What this episode covers

Chances are that you've probably made a purchase on Amazon.com based on a glowing review. But sometimes those reviews hide something sinister.This week, Amy and Chris talk you through the terrifying case of Todd Kohlhepp, otherwise known as the Amazon Review Killer due to him leaving reviews on the popular commerce site for items that he used to murder at least 7 people. Todd was caught after they were able to track down a missing woman, Kala Brown, to his property. Kala was found chained inside of a storage container and having endured untold horrors for weeks. This opened an investigation into Todd that revealed a pattern of kidnapping people, locking them into a storage container, and torturing them. In between torturing and murdering people, Todd would leave reviews on Amazon for shovels, chainsaws, and other implements of death.Todd was convicted of 7 murders, but Todd has claimed many times that there are far more unidentified victims out there.Send your true crime suggestions to hello@truecrimerecaps!Support the show AND listen ad-free here!: https://truecrimerecaps.supercast.tech/Follow TCR on YouTube here!Follow TCR on Instagram here!Follow TCR on Facebook here!
