checked kate's cell phone record, found she'd made a call, late that friday night, that pinged on a tower. at a place called james island-- several miles from her house. but phone pings can be funny that way sometimes, they told the waring's. one tower is busy, the next one over picks it up. probably made the call from home, they said. they also promised to keep looking for her. but really, kate was known to have gotten herself in and out of trouble a time or two. and police resources were limited. and, well, tom waring got the cops' message. we do not know, for a fact, that a crime has been committed here. keith morrison: after all, the waring's were reminded, kate was a world traveler. could well have just picked up and gone back to russia. might be aboard some tramp steamer, even now. or if something bad happened to her, could have been a drug overdose-- even suicide. impossible, thought kate's parents. even in her darkest times, she never failed to call. if she spent the night out unexpectedly, i mean, we'd get a call first thing the next morning
