Todd Kohlhepp had the veneer of a small town real estate salesman.

Kind of greasy, a little bit goofy. Central casting stuff.

And that’s what he was.

But the Spartanburg, South Carolina man is much, much more.

Kohlhepp is also a monstrous serial killer who slithered under the radar, murdering at will.

On Friday, he pleaded guilty to murdering seven people in a decade-long rampage fueled by twisted sex fantasies, greed and hatred.

Kohlhepp fessed up. It was either that or a date with the needle in the state’s death chamber.

“God exposed an incomprehensible evil,” heartbroken mom Cindy Coxie told reporters.

Her son Johnny was just 29 when Kohlhepp shot him and his wife Meagan, 25, to death.

Kohlkepp, 47, was a troubled kid who had an “explosive” temper and was obsessed with “sexual content” from a young age. Tellingly, he was cruel to animals.

He pops up on the radar in 1986 in Arizona. Kidnapping. Rape. He was 15.

Tests show Kohlkepp was “behaviourally and emotionally dangerous.”

As an adult, the red-faced killer found his calling in real estate and was one of the top performers in South Carolina. Selling houses, he was described as “outgoing and professional.”

But there was also talk about guns and sly sexual innuendo. He also watched porn at his office desk — for hours.

Kohlkepp’s twisted personality kicked it up a notch on Nov. 6, 2003.

Inside the Superbike Motorsports, it looked like a slaughterhouse. Scott Ponder, Brian Lucas, Chris Sherbert and Beverly Guy lay dead. The case went cold for nearly 13 years until Kohlkepp was busted and confessed.

It was revenge for not taking back a motorcycle he was returning.

A week before Christmas in 2015, Johnny Joe Coxie was executed by Kohlhepp. For his wife Meagan, the final days of her life must have been akin to hell.

For six days, he tortured and raped the terrified young woman.

On Christmas day, he blew her brains out.

But the clock was ticking on the sicko who was playing real estate big wheel.

More than 50 friends and relatives of the victims of Kohlkepp’s black heart showed up in court Friday.

One who understandably stayed away was Kala Brown. She and her beau Charles David Carver vanished last June but cops got a mobile phone signal and traced it to Kohlkepp’s property. Carver was dead.

Brown was sobbing and terrified, quivering and chained in a storage container when cops found her. For two months, she had been ravaged and tortured by a twisted monster.

“I just want him to go away,” said Lorraine Lucas, whose son’s killing, along with three others, was unsolved for 13 years before deputies found the woman chained in a storage container on Kohlhepp’s property in Spartanburg County.

In court, Cindy Coxie recalled in her victim impact statement her 7-year-old grandson’s child-like hope that his dad would be found.

The day she finally told the boy the truth was the worst day of her life, Coxie told a hushed courtroom.

And then she glared at Kohlhepp.

“He hates you with his little heart,” she said.

FENTANYL PUSHER GUILTY OF MURDER

Five men, five overdoses.

Final destination: morgue.

Beverly Burrell had been down that road before. The 31-year-old dope dealer knew what she was pushing.

On Thursday, she was found guilty of third-degree murder for selling heroin laced with the deadly opioid fentanyl.

As the daily death tally mounts, this is one of the first times a dealer — in the U.S. or Canada — has been hit with a murder rap.

Hopefully, there will be more.

“I don’t think anyone can understand what it’s like to give testimony in your own son’s murder trial. It’s something no parent should ever have to go through,” said Dave Ronnei, whose son Luke OD’d and died after hitting the needle with some of Burrell’s special recipe.

Burrell’s street name was ICE and the tough cookie had a rep for always holding. Now, the prosecution says they don’t want her to see the light of day again.

“I don’t see a sense of remorse or sadness for what she’s done to so many people,” heartbroken mom Colleen Ronnei said. “I’m really hoping that we come to a point we’ll see some justice for our sons. It’s been a long journey.”

Burrell stand trial for three more fentanyl-related murders in the coming months.
