Brown had been missing for two months before cellphone data led authorities to Kohlhepp's property in November 2016.
She was found inside a shipping container on Kohlhepp's 95-acre farm, chained by her ankle, wrists and neck. Police had to use bolt cutters to remove the heavy chains.
Three bodies were also found on the farm. Her rescue led to authorities solving seven killings in the area, including that of Brown's boyfriend, Charlie Carver.
Kohlhepp lured Brown and her boyfriend to the property with a job offer. Carver was shot and died from his wounds in front of Brown.
Brown said she was raped each day of her captivity. Her days were spent on a dog bed and she had to use a 5-gallon bucket as a bathroom.
Kohlhepp only gave her crackers and moldy cheese for food, according to Brown.
