13 mins in- she is a crazy bitch

Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society is one of those schemes that you pay $90 to be a member of and he’s touting that like an achievement 😭 bum ass
Tonia Willis
I remember reading the mother’s quote about Todd’s rape of the young girl a long time ago when I came upon his crimes. I was mortified. I wanted to rip her tongue out.
Reggie Van Hayes
Holy fuck I remember this guy. I used drink at a bar next door to the bike shop and been in there a couple times.
Wryslok
Excited about this bc I'll wait and WAIT to learn about a crime until my favorite guys are doing a topic. Yay thanks!
Justin Simmons
I watched an episode of this and another case the guys covered about the jealous chick in Florida that murdered her boyfriend that couldn't get rid of her and she claim self defense. She was crazy but this story was nuts!! I actually remember seeing both episodes this past December on one of those ID type channels and it's not until I listened to this episode that I realized the motorcycle shop murders were committed by the same guy that had the women in the container! I thought they were 2 separate episodes. It was crazy seeing the body cam footage of her rescue but also seeing his interrogation footage, which was surreal...
Maranda Kincade
This is the episode referenced on the pod that got me rejoining the Patreon and it did not disappoint
Ollie
I’ve never heard of this guy before you guys started advertising the Patreon episode about it. He looks exactly how I expected and guys like this are the reason I’m horrified of the average looking white guy.
Libby Alderfer
Bring back the Sahara dry fart fact of the week!
Mac Daddy
Love the show and I’m happy to have a place that’s easy to like your episodes on!
Amy Sousa
This was so chilling. I taught for 35 years, and I can count on one hand how many students I encountered that were like this guy. The scariest ones though, had an enabling parent. Those still keep me up at night.
Combos
The amount of my adopted mother I hear in that f****** mom irks me to death and I'm so glad I'm not that big of a piece of s***.
April Lee
Yeaaah he didn’t want to admit to rape cause it would mean he was undesirable which.. he can’t deal with. Ugh.. this is maybe one of the top grossest serial killers.. just fuckin wow.
Travis WTAF
I could possibly help you with the words. No judgement. I just didn't know how we could get in touch. I'm in Evansville, IN.
Kayleigh Paynic
When is the new love after lock up!?!
Nicole Sullivan
I’m trying to figure out which is the video James was talking about. There’s a heap on YouTube and so far they are crap. Anyone got a link to the good one
Rebecca Swift
Awesome episode. Sidenote- after leaving the G.I. doctor with scary new procedures scheduled and appointments at the hematologist and neurologist, a tear trickled down my cheek and the words “cheer up bitch” entered into my brain! So I’m ordering myself the T-shirt. I’ve earned it. You guys are the best. Keep the laughs coming. 💚
Lisa Galley
I love listening to you guys ❣️
Scott Everett
These would be the ramblings of J. Peterman if he were a serial killer.
Terri Hliwski
Random, but is that a Presa in your pic with you?? ☺️ I have one myself, but don't see that many around!
j h
I think this episode was number 2 all time for me..after Russell Williams
Kiley Schmitt
Yup! I remember that!
Johnny Million
Does it seem like Jimmie’s level has been low for the last few months?
Mary Kate S
I live in the town he was arrested in and we never heard all these details. My sisters co worker went to college with him and her husband made fun of him because he was such a weird guy. Thanks for covering this
Zachary Leatherwood
What’s up Turkeys?
Megan
There is a whole other angle to this story where the cops fucked up the evidence and accused the wife of one of the motorcycle shop murders of having an affair baby with another one of the victims. Turns out the lab mislabeled the dna samples of the victims. Absolutely vile
Kyra Richter
Todd has boobs… I saw a video of him in court, walking in and I couldn’t get past the manboobs.
Adrienne
I was raised an an innocent private school going catholic girl. But I really was one of the good one’s. I have had to ask my kids ages 44 to 35 3 girls 1 boy the meaning of some words I heard on your podcasts. I even asked my husband one time and he tried to tell me I shouldn’t be listening to that kind of stuff lol. Ha! You are not the boss of me! Most 48 years of marriage in November, I’m the boss of him, he just doesn’t know it. I’ve never asked my son because his head might blow up. Whatever TMI love all the podcasts and Bonus shows. I really want to see a virtual show but I keep forgetting to buy tickets. I actually bought tickets once and forgot to watch the show. Y’all take care and I hope to see the next virtual show. Later
MrJimBusiness
I bet there are about 1000 yelp murderers but I'm afraid to look. Probably even number of customers vs business owners
Chocolate Diesel...LOL nah just Chris-tel
*when I'm laughing after telling them I'm listening to "my murder guys" podcast. Needless to say....I like not being bothered at work. LOL
Chocolate Diesel...LOL nah just Chris-tel
He never wanted to admit to the rapes because he was so self-deluded and centered...he couldn't fathom anyone NOT wanting him including an innocent child. What a freaking monster!!! BTW: Love you guys!!! Co-workers look at me strangely when I
Micah Is Real
Holy shit I realized while watching this video that I've seen the body cam of that girl being found alive in the shipping container. To this day the video haunts my dreams. This dude is a fucking monster.
Joe Jacobbi
“I’m the smartest rapist!” -Jimmie Whisman, 2025 The list of inappropriate things they say, taken out of context, is extensive. James generally give the obligatory “please don’t make a sound bite of me saying____”
Katie Morrison
When I first saw the title the first thing that popped in my mind was Jay and Silent Bob going around with the ink jet print outs and beating up the people that left bad reviews on Poopshoot.com of the movie.
Sarah Chapman
There's an unsolved murder from 2003 that he took credit for (The Blue Ridge Savings Murders). I worked with the son of one of the victims, and I'll never forget the day he raced out of the office when he got the call from the detectives that they'd got a confession from Kohlhepp and his mother's murder was finally going to be solved. Turned out Kohlhepp just told police that so he could get out of his cell for a couple of hours. The vilest piece of shit.
Cam 🛸
This is why I love STM bonuses. I knew about Kolhepp, but everyone calls him the Real Estate Killer. His Amazon reviews are 😳😳😳😳
Ryan Fenton
His mom has to be up for the Mama Gilreatha right?
Nichole
Jimmie saying when he got married, I mean arrested sent me 🤣. I mean trust me I've been married, so it is pretty much the same thing. 😁
Codi Crompton
I'm so pumped you guys finally got to this story cause I knew Charlie (his last victim) because he worked with my ex husband. I also worked with an old friend of his from his "realtor" days and heard so many stories bout how weird this dude was. Kala sadly doesn't fare to well after all this and if memory serves me right she's in jail now her self for something.
Joe the Cynic
Wonder if the investigator laughed and ran around the table like that hack Jimmy Fallon
Beverly R Frazier
I've heard many people cover this story, but, as usual, James has more information and background than any other. Best storyteller ever!!
Susan McFarland
I've been trying to remember that too. It was definitely a bike shop where they laughed at the guy, but idk if he was returning a bike or trying to buy one. I remember the reviewer said something about want to get a bike bc his dad used ro ride.
Abby
I’ve never heard of this story —- holy hell!!!! 😱
Mollie
I wish they would have discussed if there were comments or likes on his Facebook posts 😂
Reggie Dunlop
Great blend of STM and YSO!! Never apologize for longer Patreon episodes!!!!
Jeff Shouse
Had he put up a privacy fence he would have created a reasonable expectation of privacy, chain link got him
Max Wilson
Master Lock ISNT a good brand. Hidden shackle padlocks are for like storage units so people can’t easily cut the lock. Also, use gallium to easily and quickly destroy a padlock.
The Cambridgeshire Goatman
Wait. Wasn't there a 'Your Stupid Opinions' where some dickhead tried returning a Harley Davidson bike and complained that they were (rightfully) laughed at...?
Heather Igelman
I’ve watched so many things on this case and I don’t remember him posting reviews on Amazon. This was really interesting. I also agree, they should do another bonus episode on the sports shop investigation.
Dr Phil Goode 👹🌲🔥
This dude is such a dick, his arrest video drives me crazy. He looks like he needs a XXXL shirt and is wearing a Smedium. His mom gave him a Realty business. I'm not far from his place in SC, I remember when the bike shop shooting happened. The police thought it was a biker gang, then they really tried blaming the owners wife. I thought I might have done some sub contracting work for him but it's been a while and my partner said he didn't think we did. Oh damn I didn't know she worked at Trophy Club, used to hit it up back in the day

Hi
Dungberry Lipschitz
Go listen to Eminem’s 2018 song The Ringer off his Kamikaze album. He raps “Savage, but ain't thinkin' 'bout no bank account. But b**** I'm off the chain like Kala Brown…..never knew he made that reference. Haha.
Gillian
You should do another bonus episode on the investigation into the Sport Shop investigation. These idiot cops were accusing the pregnant wife of the shop owner of having something to do with it because they messed up DNA evidence and said one of the other victims was the father of her child. She was so demonized for a long time over that crap.
Jess
"This is me. I'm gross." Best line since "cheer up bitch!"
Michelle Miller
This guy and his mother can fuck off all the way to the top of fuck you mountain, then keep fucking off down the other side. I understand being blinded by mother's love, but this mother goes several steps too far. One of the many reasons I love James and Jimmie is the above and beyond research that is done on their stories. Whether it's Allison or Ivan or Sarah or James, whoever does the work...kudos to you!
Lilly Mongold
Kala seems like such a sweetheart. I can't believe how calm she is after the horrible shit that monster did to her and her boyfriend.
Nancy Batt
I worked with one of Kala's brothers when all that went down. It was all very surreal.
kathryn Clark
He really is one of the worst sickos you’ve covered… his mother is such an asshole - he’d been problematic since 15 months of age but she did nothing but make excuses for him.
Randy Thompson
Just search Todd’s name
Randy Thompson
Worked with Megan at Waffle House, we all thought her and her husband was on a bender. She’d get clean and fall off soon later.
Fran Hitzke
I’d love to see the video that James is referring to at the end, does anyone have a link?
Fran Hitzke
I literally thought that too 🤣
Randy Thompson
Lived in Chesnee when the Super Bike killings happened. Now live 15 minutes from the property where Kala was found.
Daniel Sandomenico
Todd Kohlhepp - Review “IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS!!.….”
Laura Errera
Wow!! I think someone else mentioned it also but his mom deserves the golden Gilreatha . It keeps auto correcting. I’m not sure if I spelled it right. Amazing episode.
Stephen Tot
That was disturbing
Jen Ward
“I can see what’s wrong with you in there” 😂
Jayda P- T
I know this isn’t a Crime in Sports bonus but his mother deserves the Golden Gilretha Award
Justine McNeil
Heyyyy! Yay I can listen on time for the first time since before Christmas!
Eldergoth
Goddamn
Steve Tancredi
I remember seeing the rescue of kayla. It is so shocking. Also this guy's mom is an asshole.
Jayda P- T
Thanks for your service dude
Jen B
How have I never heard of this whack job?
Brendan Danahy
my mom lives a couple miles from the gilgo guy
David Lista
Yayyyy
Brandon Letterman
Oh can’t wait to hear this one… I was the Sergeant that supervised the Homicide Unit who investigated this case.
Goopy Goop
Yayyyyy indeed
Tim Olson
Yay!!
