Charlie Carver’s Facebook page tells the story of a man in love. 
 
 On July 1, Carver posted that he and his girlfriend were expecting a daughter. On Aug. 1 they bought a house, and on Sept. 1 they were married. 
 
 That’s what horrifies Carver’s friends and family. All the happy new milestones on his timeline were logged retroactively on Oct. 1, more than a month after he and his girlfriend Kala Brown disappeared. 
 
 Carver, 32, and Brown, 30, went missing from their Anderson, South Carolina, apartment on Aug. 31. Carver’s car vanished. Their cellphones went dead. Even their beloved Pomeranian dog was left to pace the home without food or water. But someone was still posting to Facebook under Carver’s name, sending messages to his friends and writing an ominous new history of the couple’s life. 
 
 “I wish I could tell them to stop,” Carver’s younger sister Katie told The Daily Beast of the Facebook posts, her voice breaking. “If they know where he is, bring him home.” 
 
 Last week someone posing as Carver uploaded and deleted an old picture of the couple, Brown’s best friend Lindsey Mayson told The Daily Beast. 
 
 The caption said “‘we are fine,’” Mayson said, “which is not him. His Facebook posts have been hacked. It’s not him posting.” 
 
 The most recent entry still visible on Carver’s page is from Oct. 2, over a month after he and Brown disappeared. “What color ribbon supports the people who can’t keep their nose out of other people’s business?” the post asks. 
 
 It’s not like the couple to disappear like this, people close to them said. Carver and Brown seldom go a day without speaking to family or friends. So after a few days of silence from her son, Carver’s mother asked the building manager at couple’s apartment complex to check on them. The manager found their door unlocked and the apartment uninhabited, Brown’s mother told a local Fox affiliate. 
 
 If Carver and Brown had gone on an unannounced vacation, they’d left their essentials behind. Kala’s glasses and contact lenses were still in the apartment, as were the couple’s medications. Kala’s dog, Romeo, had been left inside alone, his crate mysteriously missing. 
 
 “That dog is her baby,” Kala’s mother told NBC News. “She’d never leave him like that.” 
 
 Carver and Brown were last heard from on Aug. 31, when Brown texted a few friends, and surveillance footage showed Carver leaving work.The previous night, Brown had called her friend Mayson to make dinner plans for Thursday.

 “That was about 6:45 that night,” Mayson said. They’d planned to get dinner with Carver, whom Mayson had never met. “That’s what that Thursday night was supposed to be about. It was meeting them and having dinner with them and getting to know each other.” 
 
 Brown had spent August newly in love and newly uneasy. She and Carver had just moved in together after a few months of dating. But Brown grew worried as the month drew on. She felt she was being stalked, she confided in Mayson. Carver was in the middle of a divorce—and Brown saw his ex everywhere. (The Daily Beast is not naming Carver’s ex because she has not been identified as a suspect or person of interest.) 
 
 “Followed, sitting outside the apartment complex watching. All kinds of really crazy scary stuff,” Mayson said of the ex’s alleged behavior. “[Brown] made a comment at one time that she didn’t feel comfortable at all; that she was scared.” 
 
 Police said they haven’t identified any suspects, and that as of Wednesday, they had no new leads. 
 
 “There’s no new evidence to point any new direction,” Lt. David Creamer of the Anderson Police Department told The Daily Beast. “There’s no new leads, but we’re looking at every angle.” 
 
 Creamer added that, to his knowledge, the department had not taken action to search for the IP address of the person using Carver’s account. 
 
 “To do anything like that, we’d have to issue a search warrant to Facebook,” he said. “I don’t know if we’ve done that but I’m pretty sure we have not done that… You’d have to serve [Facebook] with a search warrant to search their records for an IP.” 
 
 Reached by email on Wednesday, a Facebook spokesperson responded in under 90 minutes, referring The Daily Beast to Facebook's policies for law enforcement. If served with a search warrant or a subpoena in connection to a criminal investigation, Facebook will turn over user information including "recent login/logout IP addresses ... and location information." 
 
 “They said they’re hoping to tell us something soon, but they’ve been saying that for a couple weeks,” Carver’s sister Katie said. 
 
 While the search stretches into its second month, police are encouraging locals to look out for Carver’s missing car, a 2002 white Pontiac Grand Prix with South Carolina plates and an LSU decal on the back window. The couple’s family and friends have spent weeks distributing “missing” fliers and trying to raise funds to hire a private investigator. 
 
 The person using Carver’s Facebook account is also sharing the missing persons reports. 
 
 Since Carver went missing, his Facebook has shared dozens of posts about the missing couple, including pleas for prayers from Carver’s sister Katie. The missing persons posters, uploaded in the missing man’s name, are sandwiched between sinister memes. 
 
 “Sometimes late at night I dig a hole in the backyard to keep the nosey neighbor’s guessing,” reads one macro image shared by Carver’s account on Sept. 24. 
 
 “End gun violence now! Bring back the sword,” reads another image from earlier that day. 
 
 A post from Oct. 1 shares the final lines of The Eagles’ song “Hotel California”: 
 
 “Last thing I remember, I was running for the door. I had to find the passage back to the place I was before. ‘Relax,’ said the nightman. ‘We are programmed to receive. You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave.’” 
 
 The person using Carver’s account isn’t just posting statuses. They’re messaging his friends. 
 
 “im just missing to everyone else,” Carver’s account told one friend in a series of September messages shared with The Daily Beast. “We [are] both ok. there is only one person that knows where we are … the person that means the most to me and kala she know where we are and we are coming that way for ever.” 
 
 The person declines the friend’s pleas to video chat. But elsewhere, the person claiming to be Carver appears to break character. 
 
 On Sept. 26, the person using Carver’s account confronted one of the friends commenting on Carver’s new Facebook posts. 
 
 “Well i would keep my nose clean and out off it. And how do you know my hubby?” the person wrote. Friends began speculating that Carver’s estranged wife had hacked his Facebook, or that someone was trying to frame her. 
 
 Still in Carver’s voice, the person defended Carver’s wife. “She didnt hack my page she has the password to my facebook,” the person wrote. 
 
 While Carver’s Facebook continues to post in his absence, the couple’s loved ones remember the real people they hope will come home. 
 
 “My brother was a really good guy, is a really good guy,” Katie said. “He’s an aspiring writer. We were actually working on a graphic novel together.” 
 
 Carver had recently been promoted at the paper company where he worked, and loved his job. He is a comic book lover, especially of the Marvel comics, an interest he’d shared with Katie since childhood. 
 
 “The last time I heard from him was the Sunday before he disappeared,” Katie said. “He’d sent me some stupid meme because we were always going back and forth just kidding with each other. I didn’t have time to respond immediately, so the last thing I said to him was ‘wow.’” 
 
 Brown is an animal lover, and a steadfast friend, those close to her said. “She was a really nice person, really upbeat and outgoing. They just worked together really well,” Katie said. 
 
 “She’s one of those friends who would always be there,” Mayson said. “No matter what. You need her, she’s there.” 
 
 Now the couple’s friends are searching for clues the best way they can: by messaging the person who claims to be Carver. 
 
 “Who is this?” Carver’s friend Katrina Mega messaged the account in September, adding “You can post comments but you can’t respond to me[?]” 
 
 “I was reading something,” came the cryptic response from Carver’s account. 
 
 “Where are you,” Mega asked. “Are you OK is this even really you” 
 
 “Yes im fine,” the person on Carver’s side wrote. 
 
 Mega repeated the question. 
 
 “Is this really you?” 
 
 No one answered. ||||| Play Facebook

 A woman missing since August was found alive Thursday after deputies in South Carolina said they heard loud banging coming from a metal storage container on a rural property. 
 
 Acting on a tip, the Spartanburg County Sheriff's deputies discovered 30-year-old Kala Brown "chained inside the container like a dog," Sheriff Chuck Wright told local NBC affiliate WYFF. 
 
 The deputies were searching the grounds in Woodruff, just south of Spartanburg, in relation to a tip about a sex crime when they came across the disturbing scene.

 Brown told authorities she had been held captive for two months. 
 
 "It's all by God's grace that we found that little girl alive," Wright told WYFF. 
 
 The owner of the property — identified as Todd Kohlhepp, a registered sex offender — was charged with kidnapping, jail records show. A bond hearing was scheduled for Friday afternoon. 
 
 Officials said other charges against him were also possible. 
 
 Brown also told investigators about four bodies possibly buried on the property. A massive investigation was underway Thursday, and photos from the scene showed a backhoe being brought in.

 No bodies were found as of 7 p.m. ET, and the search was called off at nightfall and was expected to resume Friday morning, the Spartanburg County Coroner's Office said. 
 
 "It has been a blessing just having her, but it's, it's great just knowing that she's alive and I can go see her and hug her and tell her how much I love her," Cassandra Ellen, a close friend of Brown’s, told WYFF. 
 
 Charlie Carver, Brown's boyfriend, who disappeared around the same time, remains missing. Carver's vehicle was found on Kohlhepp's property during the search Thursday, according to a sheriff's spokesman. 
 
 Brown and a close friend reportedly had dinner on the night of Aug. 29 at Brown and her boyfriend's apartment outside Anderson, South Carolina. The following day, several friends received texts back from Brown. But the responses stopped coming on Aug. 31.

 The last images of Carver are on security video from his workplace showing him leaving that same day. 
 
 Joanne Shiflet, Carver's mother, told Dateline that she and her son don't go a day without some type of communication. 
 
 But after no word from her son in several days, Shiflet called the manager of the couple's apartment complex to see if she could check on them. The manager knocked on their door, but there was no answer, so she went inside. 
 
 It appeared no one had been there for some time, Shiflet said. 
 
 She did find something troubling: Romeo, Brown's Pomeranian dog, was left without any food or water. 
 
 "That dog is her baby. She'd never leave him like that," Brown's mother, Bonnie Newsom, told Dateline in early October.

 The case attracted national attention several weeks later when mysterious postings began to appear on Carver's Facebook page. 
 
 The messages, which appeared after the two were reported missing, included statements that the couple was fine and had simply left on their own. 
 
 Both Brown and Carver’s families believe his account had been hacked. 
 
 Makenzie Durham, Carver’s former high school sweetheart and a friend of 16 years, told WYFF that the discovery of Brown alive gives her hope. 
 
 "It's a miracle. They were missing for two months and we found one person alive and well, so miracles do happen," she said. 
 
 "You never can give up hope. You just got to keep hoping and never think that they're not going to be found and that there's never a worst-case scenario," Durham told the station. "You're always just going to be positive and keep searching." 
 
 Kala and Charlie were featured in Dateline’s social and digital series "Missing in America" on Oct. 10, 2016.
– Seemingly innocent posts on the Facebook page of South Carolina man Charlie Carver are in fact deeply disturbing, friends and family say. Carver and girlfriend Kala Brown disappeared on Aug. 31, and loved ones say the posts that have appeared on the account this month were clearly written by somebody else, the Daily Beast reports. A post a week after the disappearance said they were "fine," and Carver's history was retroactively edited Oct. 1 to include life events that never happened, including an announcement of Brown's pregnancy, their marriage, and the purchase of a house. When the couple disappeared, they left behind medication and even their Pomeranian dog, NBC News reports. Carver, who started dating Brown earlier this year, was in the middle of divorcing another woman. Brown's best friend tells the Daily Beast that her friend had complained about Carver's estranged wife stalking her and doing "all kinds of really crazy scary stuff." Police say they're investigating the disappearance, but they have not identified any suspects or subpoenaed Facebook to discover the source of the Carver posts—which, chillingly, have included posters issued in the search for the missing couple. (A creepy video turned out to be a dead end in the search for a missing Wisconsin teen.)
