Regina Ann Tague, mother of accused serial killer Todd Kohlhepp, was found dead Sunday morning in her Moore home. She was 70.
Her husband found her in her Mesa Drive home, according to Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger.
Clevenger said an investigation by his office, Sheriff’s office and an exam of her body, showed no foul play. A cause of death listed will be issued Monday.
Kohlhepp, since his arrest Nov. 3, has been charged with seven counts of murder, two counts of kidnapping and first-degree criminal sexual assault. He was arrested when a woman was found chained inside in a shipping container on his Woodruff property.
Kohlhepp also confessed to the murder of four people at Superbike Motorsports in Chesnee that occurred 13 years ago.
Tague said in a television interview in November that her son was misunderstood and not a monster.
