A Spartanburg, S.C., couple who were reported missing last year have been identified as the people whose bodies were found on the property of a South Carolina man linked to seven murders, officials said on Wednesday. It appears that both people had been shot to death, officials said.

The victims were Meagan Leigh McCraw Coxie, 25, who had been shot in the head, and her husband, Johnny Joe Coxie, 29, who had multiple gunshots to the torso, said Rusty Clevenger, the Spartanburg County coroner. Their bodies were found buried on a wooded, 95-acre property in Woodruff, S.C., south of Spartanburg, belonging to Todd C. Kohlhepp, who sold real estate.

Ms. Coxie’s mother “had reported the couple as missing persons to us back in December,” after being unable to contact her daughter for several days, said Lt. Kevin Bobo of the county sheriff’s office. The couple had a baby, who officials said was safe.

Mr. Clevenger said that he had dental records for only one of the victims, and that the bodies were identified primarily “through extensive tattoos,” which matched photographs taken when they were alive.
