A woman who was rescued from a shipping container after witnessing the brutal murder of her boyfriend at the hands of her suspected abductor speaking out for the first time, revealing how she was chained up like a dog, assaulted and kept in the dark for months.
Kala Brown, 30, made national headlines in November when police found her locked inside a large crate on the property of Todd Kohlhepp in South Carolina, two months after she and her boyfriend, Charles Carver, had gone missing from their home in Spartanburg.
Brown has recently sat down with Dr Phil McGraw for an exclusive interview about her harrowing ordeal, which airs in two parts on February 13 and February 14.

Bound and gagged: Brown says her accused captor, Todd Kohlhepp, forced her inside the pitch-black box lined with shelves and put a short chain around her neck
In the interview, Brown reveals to Dr Phil that she was raped at the hands of Kohlhepp.
She says than when the alleged perpetrator forced her inside the green crate on his 95-acre tract of land, it was pitch black but the suspected kidnapper came armed with a flashlight, which illuminated the interior of the box.
'He had a lot of shelving with dry food and rations and stuff, and lots of bottles of water,' Brown recalls.
The kidnapping survivor also recounts how Kohlhepp allegedly led her all the way to the back of the container, where he proceeded to restrain and gagged her.
'He left me bound and he also put a chain around my neck,' she says.
Brown added that the chain was only 2/1/2-3 feet in length, which prevented her from moving freely inside the already cramped box.
'My neck was in one corner and my ankle was in the other corner,' she tells Dr Phil.

Crate of horrors: This is the container where Bronw had spent two months restrained and gagged
In a statement from Kala Brown posted last week on the Dr Phil Show's website, she said of Kohlhep: 'No matter what he did to me, he did not break me. He cannot destroy me, and I won'.
Authorities found her when they were searching the land owned by Todd Kohlhepp, and heard knocking coming from inside a metal shipping container, reported the Post and Courier.
Following the knocking, they heard screams.
In the upcoming two-part Dr Phil episode, Brown shares details of the two months spent being held captive and witnessing her boyfriend's brutal murder.

'The main thing was we found her alive' Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright told the Post and Courier.
For two months Brown lived inside the shipping container, held prisoner by Kohlhepp, a man who was at one time Brown's boss.
He is being charged with killing seven people, according to authorities.
The former real estate agent killed four people at a Spartanburg County motorcycle shop in 2003, and three others at his home in 2015, one of those Charlie Carver.
Brown has also filed a personal injury lawsuit against Kohlhepp, and Carver's estate has filed a wrongful death lawsuit, according to the Post and Courier.
