Moore, South Carolina (CNN) They were poking fun at Todd Kohlhepp, but he wasn't enjoying the joke. 
 
 Kohlhepp had traveled to Superbike Motorsports in Chesnee, South Carolina, and spoke with the shop owner and another employee. 
 
 "He wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle and they laughed at him when he fell over on the bike," said Kohlhepp's mother, Regina Kohlhepp. "You know, this is all why people tell kids not to bully. This is what can happen." 
 
 What happened was the November 2003 killing of four employees -- including the owner -- at the motorcycle shop. 
 
 Kohlhepp, who authorities say may be responsible for seven killings, confessed to the quadruple homicide and he's been charged in the cold case 
 
 "Todd was bullied and embarrassed and I think he just held it in long enough," his mother said Thursday. 
 
 It's not clear whether the four died on the same day as the incident with Kohlhepp, or if he returned another time. 
 
 A widow wonders why incident led to violence 
 
 Melissa Brackman, widow of shop owner Scott Ponder, has a different version of the events. 
 
 "I was told he was a disgruntled customer. He bought a motorcycle from Scott previously. His motorcycle was stolen, he went to get another one," Brackman told CNN sister network HLN earlier this week. 
 
 "My husband and the service manager were poking fun at him saying, 'Hey, (is) the second motorcycle going to get stolen, too? Didn't you have enough already?' They were kidding ... and he said that made him angry." 
 
 "That is the kind of thing that a normal everyday person wouldn't go crazy over," said Brackman. 
 
 The bodies of the shop victims -- Ponder, along with his mother, Beverly Guy, and service manager Brian Lucas and employee Chris Sherbert -- were found inside the business. 
 
 Authorities also have found three bodies on Kohlhepp's property near Woodruff. They first went on November 3 to search for Kala Brown, 30, who had been missing since August with her boyfriend. 
 
 Investigators found her chained by the ankle and neck and screaming for help inside a shipping container.

 Kohlhepp, 45, didn't cooperate at first, but on November 5 he went back to the property with investigators and led them to the bodies of Brown's boyfriend, Charles Carver, 32, and a couple, said Lt. Kevin Bobo, Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office spokesman. 
 
 Bobo said Kohlhepp cooperated after he was allowed to see his mother and deliver a photo to her and to transfer money to the bank account of a friend's child. 
 
 'I'm going through hell right now' 
 
 It's not clear when Todd Kohlhepp first told his mother about the Chesnee slayings. Kohlhepp has not entered a plea and is being held pending a bail hearing. 
 
 Todd Kohlhepp is a registered sex offender who has been working as a real estate agent in the area. He bought the Woodruff farm in May 2014 for $305,000. 
 
 S. Boyd Young of the state's public defender's office said his office will represent Kohlhepp. Young declined comment on what Regina Kohlhepp said about the 2003 Chesnee case. 
 
 CNN was able to speak only briefly by phone with the mother who, like her son, lives in Moore. 
 
 "I'm going through hell right now, said Regina Kohlhepp. 
 
 She also spoke about her son's imprisonment for the 1987 kidnapping of a 14-year-old girl in Tempe, Arizona. 
 
 Originally, he was charged with kidnapping, sexual assault and committing a dangerous crime against children. The other charges were dropped after he pleaded guilty to kidnapping and was sentenced to 15 years in prison, according to court records obtained by CNN affiliates KPHO and KTVK. 
 
 "Todd was not a child you left alone," Regina Kohlhepp said. She said Todd's father had an emergency with his own father and they left Todd alone for three days. 
 
 "We left him home and then he was jealous of this girl's boyfriend, so he went and took her away to the house." 
 
 While authorities continue their investigation, relatives of the motorcycle shop victims are left to continue their mourning -- but with new questions. Brackman spoke with HLN's "Primetime Justice with Ashleigh Banfield." 
 
 Brackman was pregnant when her husband was killed. Scott Ponder Jr. is now 12. 
 
 "He looks a lot like him now. He has always known what happened, he has always known the truth," she told HLN. "He wanted to see (Kohlhepp's) face and I showed his face. He said, 'Mom, I wanted to see what (the killer) looked like.' " 
 
 She's not sure whether the family will go to any court hearings. 
 
 Brackman said the investigation and Kohlhepp's confession is the "beginning of a mess of things. I think he was been wreaking havoc for years. Part of me wants to know every last part. I go back and forth between wanting to know everything and nothing. ... Mixed emotions there." ||||| WOODRUFF, S.C. (WSPA and AP) – In an interview with CBS News, Spartanburg Co. Sheriff Chuck Wright says they granted 3 requests from murder and kidnapping suspect, Todd Kohlhepp before he confessed to the Superbike Motorsports murders. 
 
 Those were: 
 
 · Wright took a picture to his mom 
 
 · Wright let him talk to his mom 
 
 · Transfer money to a girl he is helping raise to pay for college 
 
 “He wanted me to give his mom a picture, so I did. He wanted to be the one to tell his mom some stuff, so I did. So I actually said a prayer with him,” said Wright. 
 
 Wright said investigators built a rapport with Kohlhepp. 
 
 “We treat everyone when they come into the sheriff’s office or the detention center like God’s children. We just don’t mistreat them and people respond when you treat them like humans,” Wright said. 
 
 He says he thinks Kohlhepp wants to make things right. He told the Herald Journal that Kohlhepp was remorseful. 
 
 “We had prayer, the mom and I and the stepdad. And I drove them here and then he did as he agreed. He kept his word,” said Wright. 
 
 THE SEARCH FOR BODIES 
 
 Investigators in Spartanburg Co. say they’ll continue searching for human remains Monday after finding the remains of two people and a woman alive and chained by her neck and ankle in a metal storage container. 
 
 Todd Kohlhepp has become a suspect in at least seven deaths and authorities say he’s confessed to a quadruple slaying at a motorcycle shop in 2003. 
 
 In an interview with CBS This Morning, Sheriff Chuck Wright says Kohlhepp asked to meet with his mother. 
 
 It was after that meeting that he confessed to the killings.

 Scott Ponder’s widow, Melissa, says deputies told her that Kohlhepp was a customer of the shop. 
 
 Chris Sherbert’s brother remains in disbelief, telling 7 News that he stopped by his brother’s grave Saturday night, to tell him there was closure. 
 
 Tom Lucas, the father of Brian Lucas, says that it’s unreal still.

 A Killer Among Us: The Unsealed Files of Todd Kohlhepp For 13 years the families of the Superbike Motorsports families searched for answers, who killed their loved ones and why? ||||| For 13 years, the relatives came together periodically to grieve one of South Carolina's grisliest mass shootings and compare leads with stumped investigators. 
 
 On Sunday, they gathered again on the anniversary of the crime — this time in a Spartanburg courtroom after an unexpected break led to the man who, authorities say, confessed to the quadruple slayings. 
 
 The victims' relatives sat a few feet away from Todd Kohlhepp as he was denied bond on the murder charges. It was their first chance to face the man accused of killing their loved ones. 
 
 After the hearing, Magistrate Judge Jimmy Henson thanked the families for their civility and composure. 
 
 "I know there's a lot of hurt ... beyond what a lot of people understand," he said. 
 
 Authorities have charged Kohlhepp, 45, with four counts of murder in the 2003 deaths at the Superbike Motorsports motorcycle shop in Chesnee. 
 
 Kohlhepp's alleged role in those killings was uncovered, authorities said, after a woman was found last week chained in a locked metal container on Kohlhepp's property in rural Woodruff. 
 
 The murder charges against Kohlhepp represent welcome progress for investigators and families haunted by the slayings at the motorcycle shop. The killings shocked the state and left the victims' parents and spouses reeling with each new rumor about a possible motive. 
 
 "We got 'em today. We got 'em today," Sheriff Chuck Wright said late Saturday, referring to answers in the cold case. "I'm rejoicing that this community can know that four people who were brutally murdered, there's no wondering about it anymore," said Wright, who was first elected to the position about a year after the quadruple slayings. 
 
 A Spartanburg County Sheriff's investigative report from Saturday says Kohlhepp "confessed to investigators that he shot and killed" the owner, service manager, mechanic and bookkeeper of the motorcycle shop, giving details only the killer would know. 
 
 Kohlhepp is also charged with the woman's kidnapping, and prosecutors say more charges are expected. 
 
 Officers are making more grisly discoveries as they unwind a hidden crime spree that unfolded over more than a decade. 
 
 The investigation has expanded to other properties that Kohlhepp, a real estate agent, either currently or used to own. Those properties are not limited to South Carolina, Wright said Sunday, declining to be more specific. 
 
 Both the FBI and Homeland Security are involved, he said. 
 
 Kohlhepp showed investigators Saturday where he says he buried two other victims on his 95-acre property near Woodruff. Human remains were uncovered Sunday at one of those sites, Wright said. 
 
 "We're not even close" on identifying the remains or cause of death, he said. "We can't tell anything." 
 
 Kohlhepp did not tell investigators who was buried there. Even if he did, investigators can't take that as identification, the sheriff said. 
 
 The excavation of that grave and search for others continues Monday. 
 
 The gravesites Kohlhepp pointed to are in addition to the body found Friday at the site. Authorities identified that victim as 32-year-old Charles Carver, the boyfriend of the woman found Thursday. Carver died of multiple gunshot wounds after he and the woman went missing at the end of August. 
 
 The Associated Press is not naming the woman because the suspect is a sex offender, though authorities have not said whether she was sexually assaulted. 
 
 In Spartanburg, Kohlhepp appeared in an orange jumpsuit for the brief bond hearing and declined to make a statement. He didn't have an attorney. 
 
 After Kohlhepp left the courtroom, Henson told the family members that they would have a chance later to address Kohlhepp in court. 
 
 "When it comes your time to speak to that defendant, speak from the heart," he said. "You have something to say. You've been waiting 13 years to say it." 
 
 The father of Brian Lucas, the 29-year-old slain service manager, thanked the judge. 
 
 "Your honor, I appreciate your words to us and your counsel," Tom Lucas said as two others put their hands on his shoulders. "We thank you." 
 
 Standing with his wife before the hearing, Lucas said he wanted to be in court to look Kohlhepp in the eye. 
 
 "I want to look at him, and I want to try to use that in healing," he said. 
 
 He and his wife, Lorraine, said there was a vigil Friday night to mark the anniversary of the killings, and gatherings were a regular occurrence over the years. 
 
 Before Kohlhepp emerged as a suspect, investigators have said all four victims were killed with the same pistol. They have theorized that the killer came in the back and killed mechanic Chris Sherbert, 26, as he worked. Bookkeeper Beverly Guy, 52, was found just outside the bathroom in the middle of the showroom. 
 
 Thirty-year-old shop owner Scott Ponder was found just outside the door in the parking lot. He was Guy's son. Brian Lucas was in the doorway of the shop. 
 
 Kohlhepp was released from prison in Arizona in 2001. As a teenager, he was convicted of raping a 14-year-old neighbor at gunpoint and threatening to kill her siblings if she called police. 
 
 Kohlhepp had to register as a sex offender. But that didn't stop him from getting a South Carolina real estate license in 2006, building a firm and maintaining the appearance of normalcy. 
 
 Melissa Ponder, who was married to Scott Ponder, said that detectives told her Kohlhepp was an angry customer who had been in the motorcycle shop several times. 
 
 She said that she had resigned herself to Scott Ponder's death remaining unsolved — until she got a phone call Saturday evening from detectives. 
 
 "It isn't closure, but it is an answer," Ponder said by phone. "And I am thankful for that." 
 
 Another grieving relative who came to the hearing, Terry Guy, was Scott Ponder's stepfather and Beverly Guy's husband. Guy said Kohlhepp's arrest means relatives of the victims can now finally be at peace. 
 
 "I'm just so relieved," Guy said. 
 
 The building that housed the shop is now shuttered and surrounded by a chain-link fence along a two-lane highway leading toward the Blue Ridge Mountains. 
 
 Two miles away in downtown Chesnee, Danny Lee said the killings rattled his quiet hometown of about 900 residents. The 52-year-old knew the victims and had a bike in the shop for repairs at the time. 
 
 "He said he did it. We've got to take his word for it," he said of the suspect. "What I still want to know is why."

– As bodies connected with Todd Kohlhepp continue to emerge, the suspected South Carolina serial killer's mom is linking four of the killings he's admitted to to one thing. "This is all why people tell kids not to bully. This is what can happen," Regina Kohlhepp said Thursday, per CNN. She was referring specifically to a quadruple murder in 2003—a cold case recently busted open by Kohlhepp's arrest, ABC News notes—that took place in a Chesnee motorcycle shop, where she says her son went to get some riding lessons and ended up leaving humiliated. "They laughed at him when he fell over on the bike," she tells CNN. "Todd was bullied and embarrassed and I think he just held it in long enough." The shop owner, his mom, and two employees were killed. It's unclear whether the murders took place the same day as the alleged bullying incident. The widow of the slain owner offers a different version, saying her husband and the others were just doing some gentle ribbing about the fact the first bike Kohlhepp bought from the shop had been stolen. "That is the kind of thing that a normal everyday person wouldn't go crazy over," she told CNN affiliate HLN. Regina Kohlhepp also talked with ABC about her son's conviction in 1987 as a 15-year-old for kidnapping and raping a 14-year-old girl at gunpoint, noting "Todd was not a child you left alone" and that the rape took place when Todd's dad had to leave Todd for three days due to a family emergency. The judge who moved Kohlhepp's case to adult court back then noted Kohlhepp was "very bright and should be advanced academically," but also that he was "behaviorally and emotionally dangerous," per ABC.
