What led to the mysterious disappearance of Kayla Brown and Charlie Carver?
On August 31st, 2016, two people got in a car and drove to work, but they never came home. No goodbye, no warning, and no trace. Just two people here one moment and gone the next, leaving behind nothing but questions and a little dog with no food and no water. This is the terrifying disappearance of Kayla Brown and Charlie Carver. Crime, conspiracy, cults, serial killers, and murder, all things that I love to consume, and I know you do too, you sick, twisted, beautiful, intellectually-minded freak. Today, we are talking about a very mysterious case. So without further ado, let's unbuckle our seat belts, go Mach 5 down the highway, slam on the brakes, and bust the windshield into this mysterious case together.
You know that email from your dentist that says, you're due for cleaning? Well, I've archived that same email for about 14 months, and I just have like a whole graveyard of healthcare emails I keep meaning to get to. You know, the weird mole on my back I just am keeping an eye on. And at some point, the I'll deal with it later just started to become my personality trait. So this past year, I actually did the thing and I booked doctor's appointments with ZocDoc. And for those of you who don't know, ZocDoc is a free app and website that helps you find and book high quality in-network doctors so you can find someone that you actually love.

Kayla Victoria Brown was born on November 17th, 1985 in Anderson, South Carolina, a small city tucked into the Northwest corner of the state, close enough to the Georgia line that people sometimes forget which Carolina they're in. And there were no headlines from her childhood, no stories that made the news. The world wasn't paying attention to Kayla Brown, not yet. But her mother, Bobby Newsome, raised her there. And by her late 20s, Anderson was still home. And at 30 years old, Kayla stood five foot eight with reddish brown hair and green eyes. And people who knew her described her as someone warm and someone very present. Now, Dan Heron knew the family well, and he dated Kayla's mother years earlier and stayed close to both of them.
And he called Kayla a very close friend of mine. She had a Pomeranian named Romeo. And that dog went everywhere with her. And if you asked anyone close to Kayla who mattered most in her life, it was Romeo, her dog. And her mother, Bobby, put it simply saying, quote, that dog is her baby, unquote. I can relate. I can relate. I have five babies and they're all dogs. But to make some extra money, Kayla picked up cleaning jobs on the side. And she'd been acquainted with a local real estate broker named Todd Kolup for years, connected through Facebook after she posted looking for extra work. Now Kolup hired her a handful of times to clean houses tied to his listings. And she usually brought her boyfriend along with her to help.
But the work was straightforward and the pay was decent. Overall, a pretty good gig. Now, Charles David Carver was born on November 19th, 1983 in Anderson, South Carolina, the same town as Kayla, two years and two days apart. And most people called him Charlie. And he was 5'11 with brown hair and blue eyes and about 180 pounds. And before settling into civilian life, he'd done time in the Army National Guard.
