WOODRUFF, S.C. — A South Carolina woman who went missing with her boyfriend in late August has been found alive, according Spartanburg Sheriff Chuck Wright.

Brown said she had been chained by the neck inside the container, and said she was given food regularly.

Brown went missing with her boyfriend,  32-year-old Charlie Carver, also of Anderson County.  Investigators are still looking for Carver.

Police arrested 45-year-old Todd Kohlhepp, the registered owner of the Wofford Road property where Brown was found, and took him to a nearby detention center.

Kohlhepp, a registered sex offender, was convicted of a kidnapping in Arizona when he was 16 years old, according to South Carolina officials.

Charges are pending.

Brown is being evaluated at an area medical facility, according to Wright.
